I would suggest monitoring with a sniffer such as ethereal. That is what I used to discover sdbot on our network. This will tell you what address are generating traffic and what port there trying to reach.

The last one was the WORM_SDBOT.ACJ a worm that propagates itself using network shares and a worm that trend micro (up to date) was unable to find, causing the saturation of the network switches and the related stop of all the work. The question is: "is there the possibility to setup an instrument (even linux based) to sniff the network traffic with capabilities to find worm?". We have already a linux based tool for network monitoring, this tool is useful to isolate host with a lots of ARP request (typical of the worm), but this tool can't point us to which worm is doing the traffic. Thanks a lot Luis ___________________________________ Nuovo Yahoo! Messenger: E' molto piĆ¹ divertente: Audibles, Avatar, Webcam, Giochi, Rubrica... Scaricalo ora! http://it.messenger.yahoo.it
