[cobalt-users] Port 135 Attacks

["Dan Kriwitsky" <list1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, if you start seeing a lot more of these, (if you're using a
security package on your RaQ like Solarspeed), blame Microsoft. Not that
it affects the RaQ, except you'll probably see more hits on the affected
ports:

"Microsoft has classified the situation as "critical." Given that the
problem affects both servers and desktops, hundreds of thousands of
computers could be affected."
"In addition to applying the patches, users should also restrict traffic
in ports 135, 139, 445 and 593, by blocking them where they are not
absolutely necessary."

Glad I use a router at home that blocks those.
