It might be a good idea to implement filtering on the borders for TCP SYN

Anyone else have any thoughts on damage control here?

Ok, guess it's time to get on nanog-post....

You can disable the clients, at least until next reboot. This won't work
with telnet, you have to use netcat:

$ nc qaz_infected_ip 7597
:qazwsx.hsq
quit


Well, since I'm hardheaded, and I don't have netcat installed, I tried
with telnet and it seems to have worked.


$ telnet 216.30.78.100 7597
Trying 216.30.78.100...

$ telnet 216.30.78.100 7597
