RE: SUB7 (update) Now Netbus too!

12345 is a well-known port for trojans (mainly Netbus). With the
wide-deployment of the the crc32 compensation attack
detector exploit, and according with the analysis made by Dave Dittrich
(http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/225543), this port is also a
backdoor for compromised systems. I guess we will be seeing an increase on
port 12345 (and also 3879 -- see analysis doc) for the next days. Round
here, the last scan was made on Nov 4 from a dial-up box in France.

PS.: I've checked the existence of such a backdoor (TCP/12345) on a Swedish
box who scanned my half C class for port 22. I didn't log the entire packets
but origin was always port 22. Maybe a script using synscan?
