We haven't seen it yet on our network, but I was hoping somebody might have a text dump or packet capture of the C&C traffic that they would be willing to send me so I can tune our IDS to recognize it. I already have exploit rules loaded, just wanted to see if the C&C traffic varied significantly from the (relatively) standard *bot variety.

Hi guys.
Zotob, once infected, connects the machine to a botnet C&C (command & control) server. Due to the extremely rapid spread of these worms, here is the C&C servers information that has been confirmed so far:
62.193.233.52:8080 84.244.7.62:8080 204.13.171.157:8080 62.193.233.4:8080

For your information and possible follow-up on your networks. This is spreading too quickly that wider activity is necessary.
