Message-ID: <E16DE2F9D2ECDA4B9C8A3BCD744B9D7F012B91EC@ctsinblrsxub.cts.com> From: Antony at blr.cognizant.com (Abraham, Antony (Cognizant)) Subject: [UPDATE] ping floods All, It might be this new worm, have a look at http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100559.htm New RPC worm which will generate lot of ICMP traffic. Thanks, Antony Abraham -----Original Message----- From: B3r3n@...osnet.com [mailto:B3r3n@...osnet.com] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 6:56 PM To: full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com Subject: [Full-Disclosure] [UPDATE] ping floods All, What we have here at the moment is the following: 1) IntraNet machines are pinging to random IP addresses (both targetting our IntraNet and outside) 2) From time to time, when a particular machine is pinging from a subnet, it appears some new machines on that subnet are starting to ping too. 3) these pings, grouped together, creates flooding (even if singlely they seems to be ping with a 1/3s TTL delay) impacting the whole IntraNet. 4) Checking a machine part of this ping "flood", we found nothing suspicious (no unknown program, ...) but we dont master Windows technology. The box was antivirused with a well-known vendor solution, up-to-date in its virus definitions. Our assumptions is this might be a brand new worm, not yet known to antivirus companies (no news/alerts on their sites). To solve, we applied on our routers routing the ICMP requests an access-list to bar these requests. This globally solved the problem until we can be able to solve each machine.
