Alavan,

Are these continous or you got just once? I don't consider, at first, them as worms because 8/0 is icmp echo-reply, that comes(?) from your(?) network to the Internet. And the second are icmp destination-unreachable that also comes from your network to the Internet. Possibly, your machines are just replying worm "queries". And remember, you're an ISP, blocking icmp, mainly these two is not a good thing (if I were an user I wouldn't like).

Hello,

Is there a site that lists how all these virus/worms replicate? Specifically, as a SysAdmin of a small ISP I see patterns of traffic and would like to be able to identify them to help the user clean their machine. For instance, one user's machine is doing this:

09-28-2003 20:52:51 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0002.3f92.3fb4) -> 211.250.128.84 (8/0), 1 packet 09-28-2003 20:52:50 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0002.3f92.3fb4) -> 218.14.178.79 (8/0), 1 packet 09-28-2003 20:52:49 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0002.3f92.3fb4) -> 220.163.35.8 (8/0), 1 packet 09-28-2003 20:52:47 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0002.3f92.3fb4) -> 210.41.241.164 (8/0), 1 packet 09-28-2003 20:52:47 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0002.3f92.3fb4) -> 61.234.104.60 (8/0), 1 packet

And yet another is doing this:

09-29-2003 09:29:14 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0050.bac6.e91a) -> 130.49.75.16 (3/3), 2 packets 09-29-2003 09:29:10 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0050.bac6.e91a) -> 24.126.252.20 (3/3), 1 packet 09-29-2003 09:29:05 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0050.bac6.e91a) -> 128.230.232.160 (3/3), 2 packets 09-29-2003 09:29:01 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0050.bac6.e91a) -> 160.39.195.157 (3/3), 2 packets 09-29-2003 09:28:58 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0050.bac6.e91a) -> 24.191.211.236 (3/3), 2 packets 09-29-2003 09:28:52 list 111 denied icmp 67.98.xxx.xxx (FastEthernet0 0050.bac6.e91a) -> 24.26.255.231 (3/3), 2 packets
