FYI, at 10:15am EST this morning WormCatcher detected a new variant of
Code Red, called Code.Red.F, worming its way through hosts from Finland,
the U.S., and Australia. Since then it has continued, slowly, infecting
more hosts around the globe.
The infection method is the same as the original Code Red, so the
protections are the same;
- Remove IIS from the box completely
- Remove Script Mappings, particularly .IDA mappings
- Patch (MS01-033)
Too bad ISPs don't block access to attacking IIS boxes the way they did
with Slammer. This version appears to eliminate or change the drop-dead
date that previous versions of Code Red had.
