We have seen this extensively on our network. It is the AgoBot/GaoBOt worm/trojan or varient. It also goes by the name polybot. Nasty little booger. It installs a backdoor and scans for "blank" or weak admin passwords, various MS vulnerabilities, and DameWare (port 6129) weaknesses. It kills most anti-virus processes/programs. Seems to be particularly bad on University networks. If you do an nmap scan, you will find high ports open. Most times when you telnet into the trojan port (BTW, it changes on each infection), you will get: 220 Bot Server (Win32) It has remote command and DOS functionality.

Or did I miss it on Bugtraq? Recently I've noticed a scan pattern in my logs and wonder if anyone might recognize it as either a known virus or some kiddie scanning tool looking for virus backdoors? There are some variations... occasionally port 80 and 8080 are included. Service: 1025 (tcp/1025) (net2fw:DROP:,eth1,none) - 2 packets (take your pick... either network blackjack or an assortment of viruses and backdoors) Service: 2745 (tcp/2745) (:net2fw:DROP:,eth1,none) - 2 packets (Beagle virus) Service: 3127 (tcp/3127) (:net2fw:DROP:,eth1,none) - 2 packets (MyDoom virus) Service: 6129 (tcp/6129) (net2fw:DROP:,eth1,none) - 3 packets (W32.Mockbot) also Dameware Thanks!
