Last night we saw an single machine (or at least a single IP address)
attack every IIS server on campus visible from the Internet. The attack
was not preceeded by any obvious scan, although I have seen several
systematic scans of port 80 in the last few weeks. Also, so far as I can
tell from a quick sample, only IIS servers were attacked.
I am wondering if this is someone trialing a 'flash' type worm...
Individual attacks looked very much like standard nimda, here is the
snort logs for one attack:
<snort snarf output>
3 different signatures are present for 209.47.77.243 as a source
* 4 instances of spp_unidecode: Invalid Unicode String detected
* 5 instances of WEB-IIS .... access
* 31 instances of WEB-IIS cmd.exe access
There are 1 distinct destination IPs in the alerts of the type on this
page.
