Enclosed is a list of the passwords that is encoded into the virus/worm; apparently it tries these, working under the assumption that these are fairly commonly used. Lew Doll of our staff found the list; a simple way to recreate is to strip the high-order bit from each byte of the executable, and then use "od -c", or "strings", or whatever you like to search for the list. They're in alphabetical order, and the first one is "aaa". [ I don't know if anyone else working elsewhere found these independently. ] If any account at your site uses one of these passwords, and the virus progressed to the stage where it tried these, you may want to change the password on that account. (Heck, you may want to change it anyway.)
