SQL Slammer observations
Robert Graham on SQL Slammer:
- Internet Infection was instantaneous
- For individuals, it was binary, a square-wave
- Better patch management would not have solved this
- Easy – and obvious – remediation
- The worm attacked everyone, all at once
- Worst attack ever
“ ‘This is a wake up call’
This is what they say every time a worm hits. It’s hard to believe them when their next sentence contains statements that demonstrate that they still don’t get it.”
