Code Red III

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the are-we-there-yet-mommy dept.

drcrja was the first to send us this brief bit about Code Red III which is apparently faster and more vicious than its entertaining predecessors. I'm still wondering what I should do with the hundreds of IPs in my desktop's apache log trying hopelessly to overflow my buffer.

    God, I'm still on version 1 of code red. Does anybody know where I can download the latest version? Is there a mail list I can get on so I know I have the lasted version on my IIS server?

    In all likely hood the media is confused. It wouldn't be the first time. I figure if there's a CRv3 ever out there it won't be near as nice as v2 is. I'm thinking massive damanage upon infection to the machine... but not enough to keep the worm from spreading.


    What they are calling CodeRed III is really CodeRedII with a better IP selection routine.
    Still has the XXX and installs the backdoor

    Now incidents.org is recommending that the compromised machines, which have installed backdoors, format their c drive and reinstall

    We can do it for them...

    Here we have something that does not come with source code, but people are still able to maintain the program, improve its performance, and then get those improvements quickly out into the field. Even Linux updates don't get distributed this efficiently.

    So, Three Code Reds and a SirCam later, the question just begs to be asked:

    Who's calling Whose code "Potentially Viral"?
