From: "Disclosure From OSSI" <disclosure () ossecurity ca> From the quick analysis of this worm (retrieved fromhttp://isc.incidents.org/diary.html?date=2004-03-20), it seems that it bearsstrange similarity with SQL Slammer for the following points: 1. It uses the same "push ascii" format as SQL Slammer, for example "push 6B636F73h" in this worm.
I can tell you the names of about 100 different programmers who use push ascii in their expoits. This is common exploit code just like using "i" as the loop variable in C/C++.
2. It uses hard-coded import addresses (listed below) as SQL Slammer.

3. If someone can trace the origin of this worm, it might shed light on the origin of SQL Slammer as well?
Definitely a big NO. _________________________________________________________________MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page FREE download! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/
