A couple of things... First off, it's good that snort is running to catch these things. To CB... "My opinion would be to rebuild the box with all current patches and service packs." Why? Just b/c snort picked up the signatures, doesn't mean that the box was actually compromised...does it? After all, the snort signatures are specific enough to pick up the inbound signatures, but nothing from Jeremy shows what the response codes from IIS are...do they? Jeremy didn't mention anything about the server's responses, nor did he post the web logs. In fact, Jeremy never actually said which web server (if any) he's running! The assumption is that Jeremy is running IIS...and this may actually be the case. However, Jeremy's post has only the snort signature titles, and nothing else. What this shows is that there is still a propensity to make assumptions, not only regarding posts such as Jeremy's, but in incident response investigations, as well. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
