Don't blame microsoft too hard, almost every platform has programs with buffer overflow errors. You only see the Microsoft servers get hit because they are the most popular platform, and they are easy to target. Buffer overflow is a VERY common thing, and it just so happens that MS's SQL is the target this time. If you run a MS Server, look out. Personally I am glad both my servers run unix.

No, MS SQL server is far from the most popular SQL server on or off the internet...

Did I say Microsoft SQL servers?
No.

Read.Comprehend.Post.

Oh, i just thought we were talking about the MS SQL exploit in this thread...

But you're still wrong, MS servers aren't the most popular platform on the internet... Not even close...

January 2003, MS: 27%, Apache: 62.23%, Zeus: 2.08, SunONE: 1.33 Source

So maybe you should check your facts before you post?

The problem is still far from over I'd say (all of those unpatched SQL2K servers), but the DDoS effects of it should at least taper off a bit as ISPs/backbones will start filtering that port.

I woke my girlfriend up so she could check her servers at work. Some of their SQL2K servers were unpatched but luckily their firewall managed to hold everything off. She axed all outbound in the meantime just in case, and she'll go in later today to patch everything up.

so far my brother hasnt been woken up. The last time we had a problem like this it was Nimda or something like that cause us to get up at 3 am and help him patch the servers.

Now they are all Linux/freeBSD etc... only 2 win boxes.. they had 10 earlier..
The two win boxes are test boxes apparently so they dont care if it goes down or gets infected they just reinstall from teh image.

Soooo many slow browsing calls at work tonight... and of course you have to troubleshoot everything as usual, because none of the tech's know theres a DDOS attack going on. :(

Works fine here. Most likely unavailable for you because of name server problems.

Hmm.. guess I need to actually wake up before I start reading OT... I could have sworn the headline said "Massive DOGS attack all over us"

I was like "whoa, cool, massive dogs..."

I was just now able to reconnect to the net.

My ISP has been down since like 2am EST this morning. It was affecting their login servers (At least it was giving me an invalid UN and PW). It is still running pretty slow..... especially UUNet from what I can tell.
