Re: new round of nimda on 9/28

> Are you participating in the DShield.org stuff from them ?
no - haven't signed up yet for DShield (you allow intrusion detection
software to be
installed in your network, to feed info back to incidents.org so they can
create
"global analysis" of what's going on).
I check www.incidents.org every morning & use it and www.sans.org reading
room
as resource pages to understand these exploits. Have been sending the NT
techs there
also (because they had no clue except "call Norton").
For those of you with network security responsibility, the reading room at
sans.org is
very helpful.
