I left an 2k box open last night without firewall.  1 Hour following boot
time it was hit and manifested the svchost crashing.  I haven't had a chance
to dig deeper to see if any sort of infection is involved but I'm leaning
towards DOS.

I'm showing signs of an RPC sweep across one of my networks that's
killing some XP machines (only XP confirmed). How wide spread is this at
this time. Also, does anyone know if this is just generating a DOS
symptom or if I should be looking for backdoors in these client systems?
