Why Microsoft’s MSMQ is Giving Me Nightmares: A Hilarious Dive into Packet Decoding!
Decoding MSMQ packets is like deciphering hieroglyphs with a magnifying glass. Yesterday’s Microsoft Patch Tuesday highlighted a critical code execution vulnerability in MSMQ, and port 1801 started humming suspiciously. Anyone fluent in MSMQ protocol? Let’s crack this code before it cracks us!
Hot Take:
**Ah, the joys of deciphering cryptic messages. It’s like being in a digital escape room, except the prize is a malware-free existence.**
Key Points:
- Microsoft’s latest Patch Tuesday included a critical vulnerability fix for Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ).
- The vulnerability is a code execution flaw that could be exploited via port 1801.
- Johannes B. Ullrich, Ph.D., observed suspicious activity on port 1801 using netcat listeners.
- The TCP payload he captured suggests MSMQ activity, probably probing for an MSMQ server.
- He’s seeking advice on how to respond to this suspicious activity.
