So called "Slapper activity" in the logs is simply an attempt to talk http to an https port. Any browser or web spider/robot/crawler will generate this. This detailed in the CERT update http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-27.html John -----Original Message----- From: Schmehl, Paul L To: Mikhail Iakovlev Cc: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Sent: 26/09/02 05:31 Subject: RE: [Full-disclosure] The last word on the Linux Slapper worm Send me the exploit and I'll test it against the server. I've seen Slapper activity in the logs, but I haven't seen any compromise. As of this writing (I just checked), Red Hat only has opensssl 0.9.6b-28 available as an RPM on their update site (for Red Hat 7.2.) - NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
