FW: Lioten Worm 135-139 and 445

["Pricher Jeffrey Contr AFCA/GCF" <jeffrey.pricher () scott af mil>]

This came from the incidents.org list this am. Figured I'd pass it along since I've seen some discussion about port 445 
probes come up lately.

Incidents.org reports the Lioten worm as active. AV vendor sites report its
existence but show no infections. It spreads on NT/W2K through TCP and UDP
on ports 135-139 and 445 - through NetBIOS. It uses short brute force
password attacks on all enumerated users found during a null session probe,
and installs itself as %system%\Iraq_oil.exe.

Has anyone seen this worm in the wild? Any packet captures?
