ISC Diary

Over the last few hours, sensors detected a remarkable increase in ICMP
traffic. At this point, we assume that the traffic is linked to the
'Nachi' worm: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100559.htm
The worm is also known as 'Welchia' (
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.html )
While the investigation is still in progress, we did identify so far the following characteristics:

- some of the traffic is spoofed

- the data content is all '170' (0xAA)

- ICMP echo requests (type 8, code 0)
