The Nimda Virus

What did the virus effect?

What is the Nimda Virus?

The Nimda virus caused traffic slowdowns as it rippled across the Internet, spreading through four different methods, infecting computers containing Microsoft's Web server, Internet Information Server (IIS), and computer users who opened an e-mail attachment.

The Nimda virus was a multi-vector virus that surfaced to the internet on September 18th, 2001. The Nimda virus was the fastest propagating computer virus at that time.

How was this virus so effective?

The virus was so effective because it used these different infections sectors:

- via email

- via open network shares

- via browsing of compromised web sites

- exploitation of various Microsoft IIS 4.0 / 5.0 directory traversal vulnerabilities.

- via back doors left behind by the "Code Red II" and "sadmind/IIS" worms.
