I'm getting massive packet loss to various points on the globe. I am seeing a lot of these in my tcpdump output on each host. 02:06:31.017088 150.140.142.17.3047 > 24.193.37.212.ms-sql-m: udp 376 02:06:31.017244 24.193.37.212 > 150.140.142.17: icmp: 24.193.37.212 udp port ms-sql-m unreachable [tos 0xc0 It looks like there's a worm affecting MS SQL Server which is pingflooding addresses at some random sequence. All admins with access to routers should block port 1434 (ms-sql-m)! Everyone running MS SQL Server shut it the hell down or make sure it can't access the internet proper! I make no guarantees that this information is correct, test it out for yourself! -- Michael Bacarella 24/7 phone: 646 641-8662 Netgraft Corporation http://netgraft.com/ "unique technologies to empower your business" Finger email address for public key.
