The kiddies have finally exploited the RPC SS/RPC DCOMII exploits that microsoft patched after internal auditing. I first got word of a working exploit about a week ago, but no real confirmation, and I put very little creedance in "<kiddie> I hax0rz your b0x3n!" then scanning went exponentially through the roof. So it lookss like the kiddie's right, I doubt there's a virus perse, more like kiddies hunting for vulnerable boxes to install DDoS trojans on. Anyone who honeypots one of these scans and gets a trojan please notify me and forward it, it would be most helpful. (Also obviously forward to Symantec et al.)

I am seeing lots of scanning of port 135 on my network. 66 byte long packets. Anyone have a name for this? It is less aggressive than the welchia scans I have seen. Seems to scan at about 3000 or so flows per 5 minutes.
