Vulnerability Development: RE: Publishing Nimda Logs

["Andy Wood" <network.design () cox net>]

        It's not surprising either that almost 50% of those listed have
NetBIOS (TCP 139) open.

I've been tracking nimda attacks and IPs with a tiny PERL script.
Results are at http://www.sectornotfound.com/files/NIMDA.stats (since
Sept. 18th
2001)

  It is truly sad that so many people are still infected with Nimda.
There
  is a company with my corporate ISP that I have notified 3 times now
that
  they are attacking other systems. It seems they can't figure out how
not
  to install Win2k/IIS5.0 while connected to the net. The sad thing is
that
  this is a computer company.

  I have seen a site where people have published the IP of the offending
  boxes for stuff like Nimda and CR. I am thinking about doing the same
  thing so that people can either use that information to block the IP's
or
  to do whatever they want for that matter.

  I'm curious to see how other feel about this. Is it:

  1) Recommended. Go for it and publish the IP's and let the "Gods of
IP"
  sort out the damage.
  2) A Bad Thing. These are innocent victims, and you will just have
them be
  attacked by evil people.
  3) Boring. Who cares? It's Nimda, and an everyday part of life. Deal
with
  it and ignore the logs.

  If "1," then I was thinking of going with a "Hall of Shame" and
providing
  ARIN look ups, contacts, and the whole bit. I could even allow other
  people to post logs there and stuff like that...

  Input appreciated.
