    SQL Slammer hits

    Is anyone else seeing a spike in SQL Slammer worm hits on their perimeter?

    I have 124 uniques hosts hitting me with 533 events. This is particularly high and my guess is that it might be tied to a worm we discovered in the wild earlier this week.

    I've been getting 300+ MS-SQL worm attempts for a week or two now. Don't know or care if it's Slammer or not since I don't have the ports open to the world. I've had 290 in the last 24 hours.

    Thanks fellas,

    My firewall is tighter than a frog's ass in water. I was just curious if others were getting fired at by this. It was more to satisfy my curiousity than anything else. There is no way it's gettin in here!

    My Snort logs show...

    Yesterday: 49 unique hosts, 80 hits
    Past 7 days: 249 unique hosts, 536 hits with about 10 hosts hitting 10-15 times.

    Mostly normal

    Firewalls can do some good even if you don't think it would

    Sorry, don't have access to current stats... but I can tell you that the last 3 days of July, the corporate HQ dmz sensor triggered 1394 events (tcp1434) from 300 unique hosts. It's up a little bit, but we see it all the time at this client's site.
