>if you have any >information on why this scanning is being seen in an increasing number, >that would be appreciated (the tool that does the scanning perhaps?) http://members.lycos.co.uk/ircspybot/ From the readme.txt: "Date: 08:04:2003 Fixed the kuang spreader Date: 05:04:2003 Features: - HTTP server [...] - Port scanner - Syn flooder - Kuang2 and sub7 spreader [...]" Also last year (in august I think) a new client was released for the Kuang trojan. From a post on trojanforge.net: "This new client will allow you to scan for kuang servers and automatically update the server from a url that you specify. You can either use the built in scanner or load an external list of ip addresses."
