Has anyone else been seeing a dramatic increase in /scripts/.. NT worm probes this morning? We're seeing about 8000/second, starting around 9:15 Eastern time, to and from a wide variety of addresses.
affirmative. i just looked at my logs, and it looks like each probe tries a bunch of things. i haven't seen much on the lists, but i'm looking right now.
i'm pretty sure that the worm's attack phase starts on the 20th (which of course, depends upon a correctly set system clock) and also that attempting to execute something like /scripts/root.ext/c++ something is involved. i think that cert's website would be a good place to look. i'm *not* a security/virus chick, but i did host a talk by marty linder of cert where he discected code red's activity and presented a summary. cert is of course, http://www.cert.org. deeann m.m. mikula director of operations telerama public access internet http://www.telerama.com 1.877.688.3200
