I've heard that the latest Version of Zonealarm (2.6.231) can cause stability and connectivity problems for people with cable modems, anybody want to share your experience with it?

It does. I used Zone Alarm for a long time. BlackICE is good for detecting, and in combination with "other" programs that I use, is doing quite well. Thanks for the info though, and stay protected.

The server may not have been hit by the ORIGINAL Code Red but there are at least two new variants now starting to circulate. How infectious these are and if they have adjusted for the patch remains to be seen. Looks like life on the Internet is not going to get safer anytime soon.

Anybody care to propose a solution (no matter how draconian) to the hacker problem? Seems to me to be the new millenium's Version of graffiti, and just as hard to combat. Do you send some teenager to jail for "spray-painting" the net? And yet, it's more costly to society than old-fashioned vandalism. Also, ironically, it is much more likely to strike at the middle-class than at ghetto-dwellers.

Just as an FYI, if you are fully patched against Code Red (v1) on your IIS server, you won't be infected by the subsequent Versions. The new Versions have changed the signature (so an intrusion detection system "IDS" won't see it via the same ruleset that spotted the original) and one of them now installs a back door on your machine. You can get specific details at www.sans.org.

Thus, if Code Red didn't kill shrapnel's server, Code Red II and III won't either.

Richard, good job applying the patch before you got nailed, even if the cure still caused pain.

Col. John
