We've also noticed a sudden increase of tcp 515 port scan from 19th Jun.
You can see a graph in the below link

    http://www.certcc.or.kr/statistics/rtsd/rtsd_scandetect.html

One of the affector of this increase we've recently found is red worm.

It scans 515 port intensively including bind and rpc.statd vulnerabilities also.

The worm distributor site of this code(red.tar) is "go.163.com", it should be shutdown immediately.

As time goes by, We are seeing some compromised hosts by this worm.

We will issue incident note for this case. But sorry for korean version only. anyway check out our site a little later.

A short evidences to find this worm.

   Directory : /usr/lib/lib,
   Files : /usr/bin/kfm, /sbin/kfm, /usr/bin/td, /usr/bin/adore, etc.
   Related open ports : tcp 1522, tcp 39168

Hope, It will help.

We *do* have a *really* good HP colour laserjet, I guess the word got
out.

 Hmm, guess our printers must look tasty as well.

 We got hit by 3 different attackers today, all looking for port 515 on
random IP's. A total of about 60,000 probes launched towards all of our
class B network.

 Is this beginning to look a bit worrying?
