It's a new variant of slapper apparently.  Sophos antivirus just
released some virus signatures for "Slapper-B" and it detects Slapper-B
and Slapper-C.  So I'll assume there are two variants out now beyond the
original Slapper.

Where are you finding portsentry for Mandrake?  I just looked at about 5
mirror sites and couldn't locate it.

  Uhm...slapper doesn't use 4156...it uses 2002 udp...so I don't think
  it's slapper.

Hell, I'll give you my /etc/hosts.deny :( - not 

It's currently over 5000 lines. I thought it was isolated but it's
pretty widespread. Anybody see anything on port 4156?

Lets compare notes. Please send me some info at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tsoft.com. I have just gotten a massive DOS from people probing that
port. My box was unusable pretty much most of the weekend.

I posted a message to newbie, but haven't heard much confirmation
yet. 

You should first install portsentry, and add in the port for 4156
to its config file. After doing this, my system was more or less
usable. From my logs, it's still going on - at least it was this
morning. I have a prettty large /etc/hosts.deny file if you want to
compare it.

I have checked Internet Storm Center and CERT, nothing seems to be
there that is specific to port 4156.

Unknown.  Provide more information.  Do:

tcpdump -n -X port 4156

And post about 10 or 20 packets worth here.  Don't send any more than
that as we have to be considerate of those who are still getting their
mail via dialups.

Tcpdump is showing me a great deal of activity on udp port 4156.  The 
problem is that it's clogging my network and slowing
everything down.  What is this port?
