Re: sadmind rule

I don't have a copy of this worm yet, but from everything I've seen so far
it appears that it is strictly a Solaris worm, using the rpc.sadmind
exploit to propagate. Before looking for the next Solaris system to
infect, the worm scans some large netblock looking for IIS web servers and
sends two requests to each (first request sets up shell that can accept
redirection, second request causes defacement)

The Solaris attack should cause an alert from IDS20:
 http://whitehats.com/info/IDS20   (portmap-request-sadmind)

The NT/IIS attacks will be seen by IDS433:
 http://whitehats.com/info/IDS433  (http-iis-unicode-traversal-optyx)

Also I think I saw mention of grabbb somewhere (teso banner grabber) - I
don't recall it having a distinct signature.  Anyone else have more
details?

I've been trying to retroactively find what might have been actually
attacked buried in all the port 80 traffic

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 80 (msg: "sadmind"; flags: PA;
content: "GET /scripts/root.exe"; )

seems to work

The attack starts with
GET /scripts/..%c0%af../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+copy+\winnt\system32\cmd.exe+root.exe
HTTP/1.0
then proceeds with
GET /scripts/root.exe?/c+echo+^<your deface here>>.././index.asp
we see "f**k USA Government"


(I'd actually seen and reported the original scans with my auto reporter
script, but didn't realize an actual attack was involved till yesterday)
