Slammer worm
Posted on 30 Jan 2003 in SciTech
Finally had a look at my SmoothWall logs to see how many UDP-1434 packets it has dropped over the past few days on my home ADSL connection from the Slammer worm. Hundreds of UDP-1434 packets from netblocks in Austria, Sweden, Germany, Malaysia and others have been hitting my firewall over the past few days. You've gotta laugh when you check the netblock owners of some of the originating IP addresses and find a lot of them end up belonging to Microsoft. It certainly was an incredibly effective worm, bringing the net to it's knees.http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&scoring=d&q=SQL+worm+OR+virus
