Perhaps its been longer than that. Maybe its just been noticed within the past 
four who knows.

Anyhow, its surprising that some software vendor hasn't upped the ante here and 
begun to block offending IP addresses associated with these C&C's. How 
difficult would it be to say create a scripted module that "greps" out the IP 
addressing from these bots, and takes that IP address, firewalls it out from 
their subnet.

Eg:

Supposing my logfiles alert me with an IP and port which looks like:

192.168.1.10:18607
10.1.20.123:32312
120.120.110.110:18607


awk '/18607/{gsub (/:/," ");print "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -j DROP -s", $1}' 
logfiles|xargs exec 

Or pick your favorite script... Anyhow, I'm sure most understand what I'm 
getting to. Sure this only works on networks where ipchains is used, but I can 
think of plenty of ways to filter these issues before they infest your 
network...

What I still find strange, and I guess I will be an odd man out is, why 
providers are so reluctant to get off their rears and address these issues. 
Let's be realistic who on the planet is using port 18607. I know if I was still 
in the ISP business and I saw these obscure ass ports, they'd be filtered. Last 
thing I need would be some crazy ass code red like worm taking my network down. 
It's surprising most engineers (and you lazy bums know who you are) allow 
stupidity. I guess the Forest Gump rule applies stupid is as stupid does. 

Gadi by the way, I know a few years back (I don't know maybe 2 or so around the 
SDBot days... Hell I don't even know if you recall) I had intended on helping 
with this project (Botnet). Apologies I've been off and on, but I relocated, 
etc., etc. If you need anything give a holler.
