RE: Retina-Nimda Scanner detects Win9x as infected...

["Marc Maiffret" <marc () eeye com>]

The "Open Guest Access" bug has been fixed so we wont show that false
positive anymore. We also greatly improved the speed of the Nimda scanner.
1.0.5 is now on our website.

If you guys find any more bugs or confusion then mail me directly and I'll
make sure they get fixed ASAP.

|It would APPEAR that way. However I know for a fact that nimda was
|contracted on a workstation on my network and never infected the server
|where the "open guest access" was present. Then again I had the free Nimda
|scanner from eEye scan port 80 when it detected that on my server, which is
|using port 8080 instead of port 80, it detected NOTHING on port
|8080 setting
|scan of the same server.

|A scan with eEye's free Retina - Nimda Scanner on my network shows all
|Windows 9x systems that have the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
|Networks" service installed on them as infected (Banner = Open Guest
|Access).  Even though these systems have nothing shared out.  Once this
|service is removed, the scan does not detect them.  The obvious conclusion
|is that just by having that service on a system, (without actually sharing
|anything) it is vulnerable to Nimda and other Trojan's.  Is that correct?
