You must live in a pretty bad neighbourhood, network wise!  ;-)

(from what ``we'' know so far the thing repeatedly scans the /16
netblock of the infected host.  Some parts of 24.0.0.0/8 were more or
less unusable at the peak times yesterday....)


22:17 [2032] $ fgrep MSADC/root.exe /var/log/httpd/access_log | wc -l                              
    2391 
22:28 [2033] $ fgrep MSADC/root.exe /var/log/httpd/access_log | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u | wc -l 
     492 

(my log file starts early on Saturday sometime)

My @Home interface on my firewall (which does not run anything on
port-80) logs report (also starting early on Sat. sometime):

$ fgrep 24.42.191.4,80 /var/log/ipfilter.0 /var/log/ipfilter | wc -l
    5328
$ fgrep 24.42.191.4,80 /var/log/ipfilter.0 /var/log/ipfilter | awk '{print $10}' | sed 's/,.*$//' | sort -u | wc -l
     547

and for the DSL port:

$ fgrep 216.138.200.154,80 /var/log/ipfilter.0 /var/log/ipfilter |  wc -l
    2377
$ fgrep 216.138.200.154,80 /var/log/ipfilter.0 /var/log/ipfilter | awk '{print $10}' | sed 's/,.*$//' | sort -u | wc -l
     500

Hmmm.... 1047 idiot direct neighbours so far and almost another 500
idiot network neighbours too....  idiots.  I have no sympathy.
