Its a known fact.. thats what NAI etc encounter the most - they are the most common script kiddie trojans. And lets face it many script kiddies canm in fact use BO2k...
Okay, but my point is this..._how_ is it a "known fact"? Where is this documented, other than in your post? You say "thats [sic] what NAI etc encounter the most"...where does it say that? Is there an offical report or something that shows activity on a regular basis? I'm not trying to be adversarial here...though some seem to feel that I am. I'm trying to establish whether or not there is documented information or not. One person saying that it's a "known fact" doesn't make it so. It's similar to the case of a "tagged" FTP directory I was investigating while at Winstar. An admin had emailed the customer directly, saying that the customer's SAM database had been copied, cracked, and the attackers had logged into the system. Not only was this impossible (port 139 blocked by multiple systems) but there was NO evidence of this occurring. The admin's reason for his statement was, "that's what hackers do." My point is...where, if at all, is this documented? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your site http://webhosting.yahoo.com
