-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have also suffered the same problem when an FTP server located in an isolated IP block, with no DNS entries for any of the addresses, was discovered. Father Christmas visited me one Sunday evening and left me with several gigabytes of MP3 files (very poor taste in music I must add). It took him 14 hours to upload the files, and me only 5 minutes to delete and secure. Since that day, I receive polls from addresses trying to write to my server every 15 minutes. None of them gets very far. John Former music supplier to the masses. - -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Peterson [mailto:Jpetersonat_private] Sent: 30 May 2001 16:46 To: 'Ingersoll, Jared'; 'CL: Nelson, Jeff'; 'FOCUS-MSat_private' Cc: incidentsat_private Subject: RE: Identify Method Jeff has been tagged for th warez scene. I had this happen to my FTP server. I finally had to make the whole site read-only. I had the very same passwords used, along with others, such as "uberdeleter". Your address will appear on a site known to the warez people as SWAA. A brief description of available files may be included in the posting. In the near future people in the warez know will start using your site for storage, they may download files, or just start randomly deleting files. You should tighten security very much, and very soon. Jeff Peterson, Former warez victim. P.S. Is it wrong to slip a trojan into the stuff they download, and hit them back? :) - -----Original Message----- From: Ingersoll, Jared [mailto:JIngersollat_private] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 5:18 AM To: 'CL: Nelson, Jeff'; 'FOCUS-MSat_private' Cc: incidentsat_private Subject: RE: Identify Method Jeff, I found the same attempt was made on some of our systems. I first noticed a scan in our firewall logs last Tuesday or Wednesday (5/22-5/23). After ftp service was detected, a login attempt was made by anonymous with password guestat_private We have no need for anonymous login and our servers are patched up to the latest security patch, so I didn't worry, just made note. I just assumed it was someone looking for anonymous ftp servers. However, given your information below, I beginning to suspect that it may be something more malicious. Perhaps it is just a program looking for anonymous ftp, but why try and created an *.asp file? Anyone else have some input?

Some person created several directories in _vti_pvt. I've tried to replicate what I have in my IIS logs to no avail. Here is what I see: USER anonymous 331 PASS anonymousat_private 230 MKD /_vti_pvt/+.+tagged+4+SWAA 257 QUIT - 257 Then another 14 minutes later: USER anonymous 331 PASS guestat_private 230 created /1kbtest.ptf 250 DELE /1kbtest 250 created /space.asp 226 DELE /space.asp 250 First, what is going on? How were they able to do this? When I try I get an error stating path cannot be found. Second, (and I think I've asked this before) is there a resource that goes in-depth to what is taking place? Most of the material I have is for Unix systems, not IIS. Regards, Jeff Jeffrey L.
