Is Code Red still in full swing?

[ShawnD1]

I know Code Red is like 2 years old or something but my firewall (Sygate Personal Firewall) tells me that I'm blocking this worm at least like 10 times per week. Does this worm still go around attacking on a regular basis or is my firewall just screwed. How is this worm attracted and what ports does it usualy attack?
I have all MS updates, the firewall on at all times and I'm behing a router but I still have to make sure this thing never actually gets through.

Code red attacks port 80.

How do you know it's code red? I've never received info from sygate fw on what is attacking, just the origin of the attack and the port targeted.

OH wow crap... I use port 80 to give people files and post pictures at sites. In the log it says it's code red.

This has nothing to do with your question ShawnD1... but can you tell me how you posted your pic so it appeared in the post? The only way I know how to do this ends up as a link to my pic and the quality is nowhere near as good as your above pic.
Thanks

doc you need to add the image tags

[im g]whatevertheurl.jpeg[im g] and it will show up


at the end you need to put [/img]

of course take the spaces out

now becareful and dont start trying to link pictures that others are hosting. thats hotlinking which is stealing

[ShawnD1]

To post a pic you use the tags [ img ] [ /img ] but without the spaces.
To get good quality, either safe it as jpg in Photoshop or as png in MS Paint. When paint saves as jpg it uses the lowest quality and it looks all crappy.

Thank you both.
GroundZero, Thank you for the hotlinking info. Fortuanately this is not what I was intending. The pics I'm posting are, like ShawnD1, pics of screendumps from a machine I am having trouble with... actually you have participated in this thread... the "bastard" desktop on a lady friends XP Home machine. Which incidentally is not completely resolved but headway is being made.

To me it looks like a regular DoS attack, which could be anything. Perhaps it's just listing code red as an example of DoS attack.

I doubt code red would send it's identifier to a system being attacked

Well it's not like it's sending tags. You know how things like Norton detect a virus program and say it's blaster.virus or something like that? The file is not actually named that, it just detects it as being that
