Re: Do I have a problem?

The older version of Nmap is strictly a DOS shell run program. No install needed. Bot it should be in the tree somewhere. Given the fact that some might have planted TROJAN on a machine is now controlling from within I would have an Investigation and Vulnerability scan of all the machines done ASAP. Test for Trojans and viruses. Find out how Nmap got on ANY box.

Good luck. If you need help I know of some people like my company who perform these tests.

I installed a SNORT box a few weeks ago and now I am getting some strange entries in my logs. The log entry goes like this:

ICMP Nmap2.36BETA or HPING2 Echo [Classification: Attempted Information Leak] [Priority: 3]: {ICMP} ipaddress -> ipaddress

I go to the machines that are the source (first ip) and search the registry for nmap and it is there, on some machines. No one is logged onto most of the machines when the event occurrs (I am certain of this). I have seen this about 5-6 times since Fri night and can't determine if I am being scanned or not.

Does anyone have any ideas? Does nmap leave any traces on a windows box that can be found/removed?

Any info would be appreciated.
