Code Red Worm Propagation The following graph shows the difference between the number of UW-Madison IP addresses that have transmitted traffic and the number that have received traffic. These values are plotted independently for each of UW-Madison's four class B networks. This metric represents the number of campus host IP addresses that participated in "monologues" - one way exchanges of IP information with hosts in the outside world. A negative value indicates that more src addresses have been used as received IP traffic than have generated outbound IP traffic. Negative numbers in the plot are an indication of inbound "scanning" or probing behavior (such as that done by the hosts in the outside world that were infected with the Code Red worm) because those scans often attempt to talk to unused campus IP addresses or to hosts which simply do not respond because of firewall policies.
DOS Attack On Monday, July 9, 2001, UW-Madison network engineers discovered that for the past two days, various campus hosts running the Windows IIS HTTP server were enlisted as slaves in an outbound Distributed-Denial-of-Service attack. The outbound traffic consisted of large ICMP ECHO packets to a small set of destination "victim" hosts.
