I concur, ISS did a great job picking up this signature!

RealSecure did pick up the worms activity. Snort didn't 
because there was no signature at the time of the worm started
spreading. Though they did respond very quickly. Our Dragon
sensors aren't correctly running, so I can't verify them

Cheers!

Much has been made about the fact that the vulnerability exploited by 
the MS-SQL worm has been known about for six months.  So not only 
should users have been aware of it, but IDS vendors should have been 
aware of it.

Here is my question: Other than an IDS reporting an unusual amount of 
traffic to port 1434, did any report the specific nature of the attack?

In other words, did any IDS report that the packet appears to attack a 
vulnerability identified by CAN-2002-0649?

Thanks,

Todd
