RE: Code Red side effects

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Microsoft's implementation of RPC called
DCE RPC and if so, isn't the portmapper listening on port 135, not 111.  So,
that being said, I believe Jonathan was talking about *nix RPC, and Opus was
talking about DCE RPC.  

A slight misunderstanding...

And yes, i am seeing an increase in port 111 activity, and no activity to
port 135.
