Been a pet theory of mine all this time (CodeRed)

I think that a lot of script-kiddies are simply taking advantage of the media-hype over CodeRed to sort of 'mask' their motions. It seems that we've (as in, network engineers / admins / monitors) have been seeing a lot of scans that just aren't part of the original codered modus operandi. I also think this is why we've been seeing a lot more 'combo' scans. In the hopes people will just wave away the attempts under the CodeRed insignia. Granted, this is just personal conjecture, but it's seeming to hold more ground with more and more people reporting this 'weird activity' on their borders. --Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
