RE: Is TCP 135 clamped down?

Hi Simon,
 
sorry I don't quite understand your question, but it's late already. If
you plug an infected sytsem into the network and nothing is patched
you'll end up having blaster on all your machines (including SBS/ISA).
 
Having the MS network client bound to the external interface exposes tcp
135 to the internet. Anyone correct me if that's wrong, that's what I
recall. This could be another way for the virus to get in. 
 
The virus gets into a system via port 135. As long as a system's not
patched, it is vulnerable to the exploit. It doesn't matter if it's a
server or workstation. Once infected, the machine will try to establish
the virus on all machines on the same subnet.
 
I can't think of any other ways the virus could have got into the
network. Well that's not exactly true, my mail scanner isolated an email
with msblast.exe attached, but this was on purpose :) The virus itself
does not contain a mass email element.
 
Hope I could help.
Mark

        If someone accessed the PC behuind ISA, but still was NOT
patched, would it still cause an issue? Likewise, if the Server was not
patched, could the risk still occur?

                if you the client for microsoft networks has been bound
to the external interface, this might be a reason. Another possibility
is that someone plugged an infected system (eg notebook) into your
network.

                        I ran the scan and it came back with STEALTH -
as if there was no real way to say TCP135 was Open :o)
                        So how did it get in?

                                Guys
                                Just a very quick question! I met a new
client that was infected by teh 2 latest worms going around the streets!
                                 
                                They are running SBS2k with ISA setup,
however the worm still got into the System.
                                 
                                Is there a way to prove TCP135 was being
protected? I have now patched the Server, and ALL workstations, as they
were all infected!
                                 
                                Finally, if the client PC's have the ISA
Firewall Client turned OFF, are they still able to access teh Internet,
WITHOUT Firewall Protection?
                                 
                                Thanks for your help
