Tools for detecting Rbot and security holes that Rbot uses

As mentioned previously, There is now a vulnerability out on the net that exploits the latest security hole in MS Windows.

Whilst Microsoft has released a patch (MS05-039) it will only work on Windows 2000 SP4 and above so if your like the majority and running SP3 it's time to get over it and upgrade to SP4 then deploy these patches.

Eeye have released a free network scanning tool that will show what machines are vulnerable to this security hole. Note: It doesn't work on NT4 so other methods will need to be used to be sure that NT4 domain controllers are safe. Note that at this time there is no way of knowing for certain if they have been affected, it may well be that the architecture of NT4 is such that this security hole cannot be exploited.
