Has anybody else been getting slammed by Code Red activity today? It seems to be coming from mostly Asian blocks but there are some other blocks thrown in there as well. Then again it could all be spoofed and could be coming from the 12 year old down the street..Thrown into all this traffic I'm also seeing a lot of Dest ports with 1433; Possibly that SQL stuff that happened last month..anywho, just wanted to know if anybody else was experiencing this.

Just b/c a share is publicly accessible, does NOT, in fact, mean that you were invited. This is simply the age-old rhetoric used to justify malicious actions. While many admins have said that they would be very happy to be told by an outsider that they had a vulnerable machine, to date not a single one has said that they'd be happy to have that person access the machine via some vulnerability and take files. > I downloaded 3 of them and they all seem to be > compressed executables As with your previous posts, this one is incredibly vague and lacking in any useful information.

Interesting how you've posted to a public list, basically stating that while you refuse to do any testing on your end to verify that the activity you're seeing is a worm (in your own words to me via email, you're "too lazy"), you're more than willing to access vulnerable systems and take files... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
