Subject: Increased TCP 139 Activity

it's highly likely, if this is being observed carefully, all probes to 139
or  445 are proeceeded by a ping sweep of all addresses onthe network.  If
this is indeed the case, the ping sweep will all be packets of 92  byte,
these are windows packets, and the recent rcpdcom sploits are the culprit.

old news, yer lucky in only now seeing it's affects.

Now, if there is a variation on this theme, then perhaps there';s
something new afoot, but, others will prolly catch that prior.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

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