Trojan attacking our switches
From: Charles Polisher <cpolish () attbi com>

Search of CVE and securityfocus and googling
did not turn up adequate information. Anyone
seen this beast?
Our campus network has a couple of thousand hosts,
and 93 switches.
Telnetting into our HP Procurve 2524 switch
shows an ongoing attempt to brute-force the
SNMP community (public, of course). HP apparently
does not provide a method for disbling SNMP, and
we're going to have to visit all 93 switches
in person to set a strong password -- yes, it had
been left blank!
PCdoorguard 3 virus scanner identified a
virus, "f*ck door server", but provides little
useful information other than pointing to
\windows\system\setdefed.exe which is 24,576 bytes.
Thanks,
Charles Polisher
