Subject: [Snort-sigs] Re: Mystery DNS Changes

    Yep it would, I threw those up real quick just to try and get some 
visibility as to how much we were being affected by it.  Didn't put much 
thought into it.  Just out of curiosity how many of those out there who 
are using this or other similar rules are still seeing traffic to those 
servers?  I have seen a steady flow of them even though the servers that 
were distributing the malicious code seem to be down.
    I have written a script that gives me (from proxy logs) the union of 
all URLS visited by those "infected" and I can't seem to track down a 
common url that looks to be an infection vector.  Has anybody seen a 
mail based version of this?
