NZNog archive

Howdy, Do you think NZNog archives will ever become searchable? Once before I managed to find something I was looking for by clicking through each thread but this is proving to be more and more difficult as the list gets bigger and bigger. It would be nice if there was a search function on it. What I'm looking for is a list of NZ owned IP addresses, if I recall, maxnet has a URL with a list of these. Any help would be appreciated in locating this link. Thanks Barry

Hello. Does anyone here know how to send a break-signal via Minicom / Linux? This is to get into ROM mode on a Cisco router. Thanks.

Looks to be related to the stuff below : http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.htm l <http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.ht ml> PSS Security Response Team Alert - New Worm: Nachi, Blaster-D, Welchia<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> SEVERITY: CRITICAL DATE: 08/18/2003 PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Windows 2000 and XP, Internet Information Services 5.0 ********************************************************************** WHAT IS IT? A new worm is spreading in the wild. The Microsoft Product Support Services Security Team is issuing this alert to advise customers to be on the alert for this virus as it spreads in the wild. Customers are advised to review the information and take the appropriate action for their environments. IMPACT OF ATTACK: Network Propagation, Patch Installation TECHNICAL DETAILS: Similar to the earlier Blaster worm and its variants, this worm also exploits the vulnerability patched by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026, and instructs target systems to download its copy from the affected system using the TFTP program. In addition to exploiting the RPC vulnerability patched by Microsoft Security Bulletin <?xml:namespace prefix = st2 ns = "schemas-microsoft-com/microsoft" />MS03-026 this worm also uses a previously patched vulnerability in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-007 directed at IIS 5.0 over port 80 to propagate to un-patched systems. In addition upon successful infection this worm also patches systems with the patch for Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026. It does this by first determining the operating system and then downloading the associated patch for that operating system. For additional details on this worm from anti-virus software vendors participating in the Microsoft Virus Information Alliance (VIA) please visit the following links: Network Associates: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100559.htm <http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100559.htm> Trend Micro: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MSBLAST .D <http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MSBLAS T.D> Symantec http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.htm l <http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.ht ml> For more information on Microsoft's Virus Information Alliance please visit this link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/virus/via.asp <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/virus/via.asp> Please contact your Antivirus Vendor for additional details on this virus. PREVENTION: Turn on Internet Connection Firewall (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003) or use a third party firewall to block incoming TCP ports 80, 135, 139, 445 and 593; UDP ports 135, 137, 38. To enable the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP please see the instructions below or visit this Knowledge Base Article: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283673 <http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283673> * In Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. * Right-click the connection on which you would like to enable ICF, and then click Properties. * On the Advanced tab, click the box to select the option to Protect my computer or network. This worm utilizes two previously-announced vulnerabilities as part of its infection method. Because of this, customers must ensure that their computers are patched for the vulnerabilities that are identified in the following Microsoft Security Bulletins. Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp> Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-007 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-007.asp <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-007.asp> In order to assist customers with the installation of the patch for Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026 Microsoft has released a tool which can be used to scan a network for the presence of systems which have not had the MS03-026 patch installed. More details on this tool are available in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 826369. RECOVERY: If your computer has been infected with this virus, please contact your preferred antivirus vendor or Product Support Services for assistance with removing it. RELATED KB ARTICLES: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826234 This article will be available within 24 hours.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is everyone else seeing ICMP echo request packets sent to random IP's from what appear to be insecure windows machines? The pings seem to be appearing every few minutes, and don't seem to be isolated to any particular ISP, or even anywhere in particular in the world, which is easily confirmed by ssh'ing to machines in the US and EU and doing tcpdump and seeing exactly the same traffic.

However, two days later and the normal Windows Update URL, that everyone else in the world uses, still doesn't work - it just reports that there are no updates needed, and it doesn't perform the scanning step (33%....66%) that it should. I just checked on a Windows 2000 machine that hadn't already been updated for the Blaster Worm, and the normal Windows Update (as accessed from the Start menu or through Tools -> Windows Update) cheerfully announced that there were no critical updates (or indeed updates of any kind) while your link revealed that the patch was needed. I wonder just how widespread this is and how many people are getting lulled into a false sense of security thinking they're protected against the worm because Windows Update doesn't offer any updates....
