Hi malware fighters,

Just a scan to see whether you are infected and with what kind of conficker variant:

Hopefully you aren't detected,

Hi onlysomeone,

This scan was developed by the Conficker Work Group -ANY - infection has been traced through this group, the scanner was developed by the Univerity of Bonn, I have no second doubt that it is genuine and very advanced, their infection maps : http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/ANY/InfectionDistribution#toc2
The scanner was developed by thet Honeynet Project online as I gave it. "This detection method is more reliable as the network based scan. Happy scanning!", says Tillmann Werner.
The best in the field made this, as I say to you: Deutsch gründlich!

Me being a trusting sort NOT, don't see how this can see if your infected by conficker in the blink of an eye as it clearly isn't scanning your system. So it really can only be checking something like network connections to see if there happens to be a conficker port/connection present.

No anyone with a half decent firewall should effectively block any such check, so I have little confidence in its ability to see if you are infected.

So I'm not to concerned who designed it if it isn't downloaded to your system and run (so your AV would be ding the same thing) there is no way to tell if you are infected and it lies dormant.

I told you I was a trusting sort.

Hi DavidR,

It was based on the more intricate network test. Here is the original site: http://www.seibotec.com/2009/04/02/ein-conficker-schnelltest/
Here is where I found it: http://www.security.nl/artikel/28239/1/Online_scanner_detecteert_Conficker_worm.html

To-day is the second of April and I read there 2009/04/02... the scanner was made possible through the team of the anti-Conficker consortium that made the recent breakthrough on detecting the network of Conficker, I do not think a German top University like that of Bonn is working on SnakeOil or serving a bogus scanner up to users to give them "cheap" ease of mind, so until I read of the contrary why not use it next to other scanners,

Sorry, I'll have to agree with DavidR on this one.  Without it downloading a program of some sort to actually "scan the system", this pretty much holds no bearing.  I don't care who made it.

It's scanning for ports/holes that might be open, HAD you not installed windows updates to close those ports.

I can vouch for the following software. I used it on my network.
It can check your network and get rid of the infection if you should have it:
Download the Sophos Conficker Removal Tool v.1.10

The more hard drives you have, the longer it takes. On my network it took almost 24 hrs to complete.

Hi ace2701,

You can also use this POC scanner, made by Dan Kamisnsky et.all:

Sorry for the error, I've corrected the link to point to:
http://mysharedfiles.no-ip.org/Sophos Conficker Clean-up Tool 1.3.exe
I know that works because that's what I ran. :)
