Will the Sasser worm become the next Blaster?
The LSASS Sasser worm is spreading through the documented MS04-011 (LSASS)
vulnerability. Presently this worm has not gotten to plague proportions but
statistically it may well.
Apart from the Sasser worm problem, there also remains the problem of human
hackers exploiting this hole. Warez ftp hackers have already started using an
exploit targeting unpatched systems creating "pubstro" warez dumps. The DCOM
vulnerability saw numerous script kiddie tools created that allowed trojan
hackers to upload and run trojan servers, will we see another wave of tools
being created?
