(Sorry for the cross-posting) Given that initial analysis of the CodeRedII worm indicates that it leaves a backdoor laying around, I hereby request that those people who made lists of infected hosts available last time *NOT* do so again. Although said lists *were* helpful in the analysis and study of the worm's tactics, the benefits are certainly outweighted by the fact that the new worm creates a known backdoor. I'm certain that both the CodeRedII author and other black hats would love for us to compile a list of afflicted hosts for them to use. So please everybody - if you're sending IP's in to be added to a table, make sure you're sending them to a white hat, not to a black hat who's managed to social-engineer you. If you're a white had compiling a list, make sure the guy's hat is at least a light grey before you give them a copy. ;) Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
