I agree. It looks like someone has just whipped up a script to scan for
the vulnerability, possibly loosely based on the Nimda code. Not much to
be concerned with if you're patched. Not much you can really do about it
anyway. Lately, I've been just dropping all traffic from Korea and
surrounding areas. No offense to anyone, but it seems that anything
registered with APNIC should be under close scrutiny. Korean networks in
particular appear to be the armpit of the net. I have no need to
allow communication with them, so I just save myself the trouble and
filter it out.
