"How can I help?"Here at the ISC, we occasionally get a note from a reader wanting to know how they can do something to help out around the place. While we typically point them in the direction of DShield < http://www.dshield.org/howto.php > and remind them that the ISC thrives on reader submitted activity and reports; There is a new thing that you, the reader, can do to help out, if you're so inclined. The BleedingSnort folks have a new "Spyware Listening Post" project they're working on, and they have put out a call for volunteers. < http://www.bleedingsnort.com/article.php?story=20050724144916974 > Granted, this isn't ISC related, but it's a neat little project, and definitely provides a good starting point for all those readers who want to write the next "Follow The Bouncing Malware" series but don't quite know where to start, or those who just want to get a better handle on what's going on in the netherworld of spammers, botnets, con-artists, and marketers. "Strange Spam" updateIt appears that the weird "1.txt" spams people are getting are being sent from systems compromised with one of the Bagel trojans; or so we hear from several of our readers. Source port 3001 updateReader Jason L. writes in about a tool he's been tracking for a while now that spoofs scans from unused IP addresses with source port 3001 and TCP ID 26127. Anyone have an idea what tool this is? If so, we'd love to hear about it over in our shiny new discussion forum! < http://forum.dshield.org/list.php?3 > |
