The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner there may wait...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Ugh...let me know if you figger out what it is. Wouldn't be surprised if it starts hitting student machines, and at least then I could tell 'em "Seeeee what happens when you ignore our advice to patch and run antivirus software?"

What are the symptoms, besides network stuff?

I don't remember the movie. But I saw Yakov Smirnoff at the Comedy Club here way back in 1985...man we're old...

You mean Jen doesn't know who Yakov Smirnoff is? ;~D

Bay watches progress on the new back wall of the new stalls. We installed that new post and half wall this afternoon. Have to cut the small pieces of OSB tomorrow to finish that wall, then partition between them and cut new doors from each stall to the outside.

Well... that's the kicker... this one is not detected even by updated antivirus patterns. Ours is Trend Micro, but we've tried some other vendors and they're not finding anything either. But we can isolate the infection... and it *should* be detectable, many pattern versions ago. It looks and acts like a variant of RBot.jp.worm, but isn't detectable as such.

Symptoms are that the infected machine opens hundreds to thousands of connections to the Internet, clogging the NAT translation tables of the router, effectively killing Internet access to anyone else. It also starts brute-forcing network accounts, looking for common weak passwords, which of course starts immediately locking accounts accross the domain.

Nasty bugger, that.
