Raj,

        Can you make the interface to the PIX a routed port? Then enable ip
accounting on that. Otherwise, find or borrow a sniffer and span the port
going to the PIX. Or have everyone leave their PCs on overnight. After
everyone's left, look at switch interfaces and find the ones with relatively
high PPS over the 5 minute interval.

HI Danny,

There are no routers before the PIX. We have only have L3 switches in which
we cannot enable ip accounting or ip cache flow on the vlan or trunk
interfaces.

Rolando - i'll check up the logs on the proxy server and see if it fetches
me with some useful info.

Cheers
Raj

Hi, Raj. What I was saying was to turn on accounting on the last router
that would reflect the original source before the traffic reaches the pix.

Check the diagram on the following link:

Hi Danny,

The PIX is sitting in between the router and the switch and doing a PAT. The
ip accounting on the router shows huge traffic from the PAT IP. This will
not reflect the original source.

I'll not be able to turn on ip accounting or cache flow on the VLAN
interfaces.

Cheers
Raj

Raj,

What do here to identify infected machines, is to turn on ip accounting on
the last internal router's outbound interface facing our firewall. If you
see many entries for one packet from one source and they are the same byte
count and they are sending to many different IP's, that machine is infected.

HTH,
Danny

Hi guys,

Nachi virus stroke my network. My router melted down after the attack.

As such, there are huge no of PC's sitting on the inside interface of the
firewall. the router having the internet link is sitting on the outside
interface of the firewall.

The internal users/servers are connected to the PIX via a 4507 internal L3
switch.

I have identified the traffic coming from inside to outside on port 0800
(icmp type 8 packet) from the patted IP to some arbitarty IPs on internet. I
have blocked icmp on PIX and stabilised the situation.

But I still am not sure, which hosts on the internal network is pushing this
traffic (ie affected with nachi). Am ready to put nachi patches in all the
500 odd machines, but is a bit tough !!!

Is there any way to find the machine pumping this traffic from the switch ?
am not able to enable ip route-cache flow or ip accounting on the vlan
interface nor able to enable MLS. Is there any other way to see this
information?

Cheers
Raj
