RE: Increase in traffic to/from DSL subs since August?

2003-11-21 Thread Gary Attard

Improperly patched machines infected with Nachi (aka Welchia) have been
noted transmitting in excess of 500,000 ICMP echo requests via Class B
alphabet lookups per hour. The one characteristic of Nachi that simplifies
the identification of the infected machines is the fact that each of these
echo requests are 92 byte pings. Any monitoring tools or packet sniffers
configured to look for these 92 byte pings will greatly simplify the
identification of the specific source addresses.

 At the IETF Plenary, Bernard Aboba showed a graph of spam, with a
 marked uptick since SoBig.F in August.  My guess is worm-deposited spam
 relays, though Joel's guess of Nachi or Welchia can't be ruled out,
 either, without flow data.

A ballpark estimate from a couple of friends who run small cable ISPs in
India, and from a look at our mailserver log stats, says that yes, this
is mostly because of open proxies and trojans infecting unpatched
windows machines on broadband.  Swen, MiMail and Jeem.mail.pv seem to be
the worst offenders wrt spamming trojans, right now.

Nachi and Welchia are almost as bad.  I'd say blame can be split equally
between the two.

Where does one get hold of The List to know if your on it.

I've read many of the briefing/press releases put out by the anti-virus
companies but they all seem to be witholding the list of master
servers.

If you're responsible for any of the IPs on the list, better 
permanently remove them from your DHCP pools, IP assignments, 
dial-up pools, or anything else that assigns IP addresses, 
because these will be filtered and forgotten for the next 200 years.

Wanted: Liebert AC Unit

2002-03-25 Thread Gary Attard


I realize this is not necessarily the most appropriate forum to search for a
used five(5) or ten(10) ton Liebert AC Unit but it may be the most
effective. I am looking for a used 5 and 10 ton unit for raised floor Data
Center - anyone know of any recently closed Data Centers looking to
liquidate?
