Seeing about 24 hours worth of traffic here. Started a little before 8:00 yesterday morning. Last we saw of it was around 6:30 today (at least, the last my internal snort sensor picked up - not sure if the firewall guys have just blocked it or if it has stopped).

It seems to be coming from mostly Asian blocks but there are some other blocks thrown in there as well. Then again it could all be spoofed and could be coming from the 12 year old down the street..Thrown into all this traffic I'm also seeing a lot of Dest ports with 1433; Possibly that SQL stuff that happened last month..anywho, just wanted to know if anybody else was experiencing this.

Just b/c a share is publicly accessible, does NOT, in fact, mean that you were invited. This is simply the age-old rhetoric used to justify malicious actions. While many admins have said that they would be very happy to be told by an outsider that they had a vulnerable machine, to date not a single one has said that they'd be happy to have that person access the machine via some vulnerability and take files.I downloaded 3 of them and they all seem to be compressed executablesAs with your previous posts, this one is incredibly vague and lacking in any useful information. Compresses with what? PKZip? UPX? What version? Did you uncompress the files?having a common prefix,If you're referring to the first couple of bytes of the file, "MZ" is the common prefix for executables on Windows systems.and there are some fragments of strings ("rom", "y smt", ") with", "ESM", "Mime-", "-Typ", "quit" etc) in that common prefix suggesting there is some SMTP implementation there--presumably some kind of malware able to spread via email.Did you run strings on the compressed or uncompressed file?But I did not find anything similar on other machines I examined.Interesting how you've posted to a public list, basically stating that while you refuse to do any testing on your end to verify that the activity you're seeing is a worm (in your own words to me via email, you're "too lazy"), you're more than willing to access vulnerable systems and take files... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
