Where the hell is the microphone?

Well? Where is it? I make a joke about the hole being so blatantly unpatched still despite all the noise, that someone ought to write a worm to patch it, and within 48 hours this happens.

Add to it that, when MS0-026 came out, it was obviously a problem calling for a worm. Loudly. When I wrote up the advisory for a client's internal service delivery (ops) staff, we said the patch timeline should be: ASAP for critical infra and border hosts, Aug 1 for all servers and as many laptops as you can get, and Aug 8 to wrap up desktops and everything else. On Aug 11, the worm showed up.

Now I wonder when the prediction about an MS03-030/MS03-026 combo hole worm will come out. If it does, it will be veri nasti.

Friend in Japan is having fun explaining to guys who don't know English or tcpdump or unix how he can tell which machines are infected.

Hai! Hai! Porto 707/TCP.
Bad randomnumgenerator.
135 scans. Ping ping ping!
I listen.

If I had the will, I could probably make a haiku out of that.
