    Hello All,

    Here is a simple way to detect which hosts on your network have been
    infected with the CODE RED worm.

    1. Use the Server->Forwarding option to forward samples to localhost
    port 8888.
    2. Run the following script:

    sflowtool -p 8888 | awk --source '
    /srcIP/ { sourceAddress = $2; }
    /4E-4E-4E-4E-4E/ { print sourceAddress; }'

    This will print out the IP addresses of infected hosts, by detecting a
    signature in the URL that they are using to scan for new "victims".

    Notes:
    ======
            1. This will only work if your monitoring is sFlow or HP-Extended-RMON
    based. Cisco-NetFlow monitoring does not include the appropriate
    information.

            2. For notes on configuring the forwarding, click on the on-line help
    links in that page. For example, to forward everything in your entire
    site to the script, just set it to:

            agent: 0.0.0.0/0 address: localhost port: 8888

            3. The sflowtool utility is available at
