I have seen this with Jet Direct Cards before. Have you ever ran a checker, such as Fluxy against a jetdirect that has TCPIP enabled? depending on which model it is it can have in excess of 30 diffrent useraccounts/password combinations. there are also a few unix based utilitys I have seen around(I will try and find some) that allow you to change setting even change the messages that are displayed on some HP printers Christopher Wilson Computing Services Nipissing University chriswat_private Tel: (705) 474 3450 ext 4377 Fax: (705) 474 1947 >>> "Bukys, Liudvikas" <bukysat_private> 05/13/2002 12:00:25 PM >>> -------- REGARDING: - ONGOING "F***ing University of Rochester" defacement and destruction - OLD Fluxay SQL & NETBIOS attacks - NEW Port 3389 WTS attacks & HP LaserJet defacements/reconfigurations --- I am continuing to hear about newly-hacked sites, that have experienced identical attacks, using MS SQL Server holes and a "rochester.bat" script previously discussed on the "incidents" list, to delete most files, and, if there is an IIS web server installed, replace its home page with text reading "F***ing University of Rochester" (please excuse the language). Victims to date have included several systems at UC Santa Cruz, a U Penn Cancer Center third-party hosted web site, a headhunting firm, and publishing firm. *** If any more sites are hacked in this fashion, I would appreciate hearing about it -- please send email to abuseat_private *** --- Many of you have been experiencing similar sets of attacks via SQL, NETBIOS, and various other ports. The University of Rochester experience includes these common features: * Scanning for and exploitation of Microsoft SQL server weak or blank 'sa' passwords (port 1433) * Scanning for and explotation of weak passwords on Windows administrator accounts (netbios ports 137-139, 445, 524) * installation of back door software on compromised machines (typically RemoteNC or FluxaySensor) * Most common tool for the above has been Fluxay from www.netxeyes.com/down.html. It offers very easy one-click exploitation and back-door installation. --- IN ADDITION, the same attackers have been exploiting or trying to exploit the following. I point them out separately because there has not been much discussion yet about port 3389 exploits in particular, so I am keenly interested in getting more information (and in alerting the rest of you). * Scanning for and exploitation of something in Windows Terminal Server (port 3389). Exploit tool and attack method unknown. (Please all if evidence turns up.) * Defacement and reconfiguration of HP LaserJet printers (ports 23, 9100, 80), addresses set to collide with production web and dns servers. Expoit tool and attack method unknown. We have at least one claim that a printer with up-to-date firmware and a password set still got exploited, so perhaps it's not all weak passwords. *** If you see similar attacks, I would be grateful for additional information you could provide regarding the attackers (e.g. source of attack, for correlation purposes), and their methods (e.g. copies of attack tools left behind). I would especially welcome information on the port 3389 mystery exploit. *** --- Liudvikas Bukys Associate Vice Provost for Computing Office of CIO University of Rochester bukysat_private 716-275-7747 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
