Hey people,

        At around 3:30 today my campus lite up like a Christmas tree. I
have hundreds of computers pinging each other all over campus. Luckily
none of them are from the subnet that I administer. :) I did some
searchin but didn't read about any of the new worms using ICMP. Anyone
have any ideas?

You've got Nachi. The third variant of the RPC DCOM worm. See any AV vendor's webpage for details, but you've got fun ahead of you for sure.
