Looking thru my logs I've seen attacks from source addresses that had
previously been trying to pass the code red virus/trojan. These new
attacks may be or new variation of code red or they could be a script
ran from those machines that were infected (and never cleaned up). One
of the results of code red is that it made it possible for someone to
install a backdoor into the system, thereby, allowing some other code to
be ran at a later time. This may be that code, or perhaps someone just
figured out a way to take advantage of the infected machines.

This worm could be extremely nasty...testing a variant of one of the
requests in my web proxy log, I deleted a file from the root directory
of my ISA server.

If you're not 100% sure your web server is immune to these requests, I
suggest shutting it down now.

As a precaution, I suggest you shut down port 69/UDP, which is tftp.

Yes, my ISA server is being hit by it. Every 10 minutes or so, it's
being
hit 50 times in a matter of seconds.
