RE: Re: Outbreak of a virus on campus

  Most folks should probably change the sid number to something above
1000000 to comply with snort standards.   My sid number was fairly
random based off the first number that came to my head.

  We have currently blocked connections to port to/from 7000 on the
following hosts:

130.74.82.206
131.234.100.43
193.87.20.31

  This seems to have contained the spread of the worm within our campus.
The list of hosts was gathered with a snort signature of:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> any 7000 (msg:"agobot IRC traffic";
content:"weednet";classtype:bad-unknown; sid:71727; rev:1;)

  Until the block was in place we had shut down around 50 hosts (mainly on
our dorm network) that had been infected with the worm.
