Been a pet theory of mine all this time (CodeRed)

["Richard" <castille () flame org>]

I think that a lot of script-kiddies are simply taking advantage of the
media-hype over CodeRed to sort of 'mask' their motions. It seems that we've
(as in, network engineers / admins / monitors) have been seeing a lot of
scans that just aren't part of the original codered modus operandi. I also
think this is why we've been seeing a lot more 'combo' scans. In the hopes
people will just wave away the attempts under the CodeRed insignia.

Granted, this is just personal conjecture, but it's seeming to hold more
ground with more and more people reporting this 'weird activity' on their
borders.
