  Resources for Combating the Slammer Worm
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DETAILS

Microsoft is working to help customers secure their networks against the
Slammer worm. Software tools and other resources designed to help secure
installations of Microsoft® SQL Server™ and the Microsoft SQL Server
Desktop Engine 2000 (MSDE 2000) will be linked from this page as they
become available.

SQL Server 2000 SQL Scan Tool (SQL Scan)
This utility scans an individual computer, a Windows domain, or a range of
IP addresses for instances of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000, and
identifies instances that may be vulnerable to the Slammer worm. SQL Scan
runs on computers running Windows 2000 or higher and can identify
instances running on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

SQL Check
SQL Check scans the computer on which it is running for instances of SQL
Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 those are vulnerable to the Slammer worm. SQL
Check runs on computers running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP. On computers running Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows XP it stops and disables the SQL Server and SQL Agent
services. On computers running Windows 98 and Windows ME it identifies
vulnerable instances but does not stop or disable any services.

SQL Critical Update
SQL Critical Update scans the computer on which it is running for
instances of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 those are vulnerable to the
Slammer worm, automatically updating the affected files. SQL Critical
Update runs on computers running Windows NT 4.0 or higher. SQL Critical
Update will not run on Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME.
