SECURITY

Determine SQL Worm Vulnerability
eEye Digital Security has developed a free tool to help you determine whether your systems are vulnerable to the SQL Worm that infects SQL Server. The Retina SQL Worm Scanner can scan as many as 254 IP addresses at once. If the scanner finds a vulnerable IP address, the scanner alerts you. You can then double-click the IP address to find information about how to fix the vulnerability. eEye Digital Security has also developed a special version of the Retina SQL Worm Scanner, Class B and A, which can scan an entire Class B and A subnet at one time. The Class B and A scanner is available for purchase by request only. Contact eEye Digital Security at 949-349-9062, 866-339-3732, or http://www.eeye.com/html/research/tools/sqlworm.html.
