Slashdot Mirror

After all the recent cases of spyware being shipped with products, I was wondering if posting the results of anomalies that my firewall has picked up to the web would be a good idea.

I am on a cable modem, and I continually see attempted connections to my TCP port 27374. This is a port used by the well known Win9x trojan SubSeven (sub7) found here. It is similar to netbus and back orifice but the new version sports a plugin design. This is in order to facilitate infections with its server that is only 57k. All other features are implemented by uploading dlls when your the first connection to the infected box is made.

I have noticed that many of the scans have originated from other cable modem subscribers, and thus posting the IPs of these attackers might discourage them in the future. Then again, after that fruit posted fake sex pics of kids to the gnutella network and logged IPs, I'm not so sure its a good idea. How can I stop these little turds from being such a nuisance?

I have considered stalking the offenders, but it is a lengthy process, and I'm not sure it is worth the effort (though it does give some quick satisfaction, something like creaming my shorts, when I use his tools against him after pretending to be Tammy17 in heat)

In short, I'm fed up with these little fruity turds, and I appreciate the slashdot expertise in security matters, and natalie portman's pouty teenage breasts.

By the way, I use ZoneAlarm on my Win9x computer, available here. It is a basic firewall that can log attacks and does not accept or deny connections that you don't allow, thereby placing your computer in "stealth mode." It is free as in beer, and I recommend it for any of your friends or family that lack the technical expertise required to use linux, which is obviously a wiser choice in such matters.

On a related note, ZoneAlarm has logged many attempts by a program named "wcmdmgr" to access the internet. I have denied it access to the internet, though I am very curious as to its nature. If you have any information regarding it or its hell spawn, please reply to this post.

I thank you for your time and expertise.

I have noticed recently that my girlfriend looks VerY similar to natalie portman. I started going out with her after my obsession had started (thanks to opensourceman and his HOWTO). I wonder if my subconscious desire for np influenced my selection of a petite young lady with pouty teenage breasts and pouty teenage lips.

erghh must sleep
