ISPs must shut off service to infected clients until they repair the damage. A user in such situation can telnet to their own port 7597 and type the commands. If they want service back, that's what they have to do. If they can't handle it or can't be bothered then they can't have service because it is an AUP violation. doesn't matter how big or small the provider, you are helping your own uninfected customers because the behavior seems to be to scan local netblocks. Aggressive action is required because things are going to get worse if it is not taken. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Fraizer" <[email protected]> To: "Dan Hollis" <[email protected]> Cc: "Mike Lewinski" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 4:29 PM Subject: Re: Disabling QAZ (was Re: Port 139 scans) > > On Fri, 29 Sep 2000, Dan Hollis wrote: > > > > > On Fri, 29 Sep 2000, Mike Lewinski wrote: > > > "exit" will close the connection but not the QAZ server, while "quit" does > > > appear to shut it down.
