Waiting for the Worms
Tim Mullen, 2003-07-21

The hole's been announced, the patch has been released. Now there's nothing to do but wait for the worm to come and wreak its ugly havoc.

"Secure By Default" aside (sorry - couldn't resist ;) ), a firewall alone isn't going to cut it.

Only time will tell, natch. I do agree with you 100% though - in that The Big Benefactors of All Script Kiddies Everywhere are prolly wasting no time in writing malware that will test the patching abilities of MCP/MCSE/MCSA's everywhere. (Firewalls? Not unless you latch one onto every dataport in the network...)

The only real worry I'd (personally) have isn't the RPC exploit per se, but exploits that have yet to be announced or even utilized.

Hrm - I like the name, but the honor usually goes to whoever spots it live and running wild, ne?
