RE: Publishing Nimda Logs

[Ron DuFresne <dufresne () winternet com>]

The SANS weekly this week:

 --6 May 2002  Code Red is Still Out There
Code Red version 2 is still worming its way across the Internet; more
than 18,000 systems are apparently infected.  Compromised machines
could be used to launch a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

 --29 April 2002  Nimda Downs Hitachi Site
A web server hosting a newly designed site for Hitachi's software
security company was infected with the Nimda worm soon after the
site came on line.  The server's Internet Information Server (IIS)
software was unpatched.

Perhaps the real worm here is mere cluelessness.

Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
