Something to bear in mind, and something that really tweaks me WRT how most folks seem to approach the whole Nimda issue: 1. You don't need IIS installed to get infected with Nimda; it has no less than 5 other vectors to choose from 2. Installing the IIS patches on a web server is not panacea to Nimda (see #1), just the issues that Nimda exploited 3. The only absolute way to eradicate Nimda is to "nuke & pave" the infected host and rebuild it OFF THE NETWORK. Let's not discount the possibility that at least some of these requests are coming from hosts that are there for the express purpose of spreading Nimda and its ilk. I know of at least two Verizon-based hosts that I've pointed out repeatedly only to see them remain on the 'net, spewing forth their infections requests. If not for my ISA server, I too may have fallen prey to these insidious jerks. * Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, 2K), A+, Network+ -----Original Message----- From: reillyat_private [mailto:reillyat_private] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 15:28 To: incidentsat_private Subject: Nimda Infections It's amazing to me when I see the amount of systems still infected with Nimda. In today's logs I see a huge amount of systems in the ATT network that are still banging away. I can't even give you the amount of systems that I'm seeing from China. What is so difficult about patching your system against the .hta, .htq vuln. I don't mean to go off on a rant but am I the only one that feels this way? Is everyone else seeing the same activity?
