Does anyone know which infection always has the NICK set to start with a carat ^? Thanks! On Sat, May 17, 2008 at 4:10 AM, <admin@systemstates.net> wrote:
Hi Tony, Never seen this before with a bot - would be worth running some of the rootkit checking programs (e.g. Rootkit Revealer - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb897445.aspx) and having a look through the startup entries using HijackThis. Having said that, if it comes up 'clean', you still won't know for sure. It might be better to scrub the box and start again from known good backups. cheers, -- www.systemstates.net - penetration test / IDS / incident response -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Possible Zombie/Bot?

And what kind of botnet/worm exhibit the behavior as above? Thank you very much. Sincerely, Tony
