I believe the script that they're using is called mscan (mass scan) and it can be found on rootshell . I have had alot of shell users / kids running this. morex .- http://morex.net http://www.worldnetworks.net On Mon, 28 Sep 1998, Dan Stromberg wrote:
We've had a lot of script kiddies running an exploit against our campus, that checks for accounts that are passwordless by default in IRIX 6.2 - like 4Dgifts, EZsetup, and so on. I've seen indications this isn't limited to our campus... This script has been generating hoardes of syslog entries like: Sep 27 12:43:19 foo.bar login[16310]: failed: ?@warble.frob as 4Dgifts Amusingly, our suns, decs and linux machines run a fake tcpmux, so we have lots of somewhat clueless kiddies checking for this vulnerability on machines of the wrong OS :). Anyway, can anyone make this exploit available, so I don't need to reinvent the wheel in order to check for this myself? It'd probably be easy in python, but it'd be nice to have "the real thing", the script the kiddies are using themselves. I checked rootshell.com, queried for sgi and 4Dgifts, but nothing relevant popped up. I know, if I "were a white hat" I could check /etc/passwd (or /etc/shadow) myself. It's complicated. And I am a white hat. Besides, the list is full disclosure.
