It was mid-January 2003. Things were going well in my role as a network engineer supporting data center networks at Cisco. My team celebrated on January 21 when our site vice president powered off the last Avaya PBX; the Research Triangle Park (RTP) campus telephony was now 100% VoIP. We had just completed several WAN circuit and hardware upgrades and were beginning to see the highest availability numbers ever for our remote sites. Then, on January 25 (a Saturday at the RTP campus), the SQL Slammer worm wreaked havoc on networks around the world. Slammer, also known as Sapphire, targeted vulnerable MS-SQL servers using self-propagating malicious code. Security professionals surely remember the event well. The worm’s propagation technique created a potent denial-of-service (DoS) effect, bringing down many net- works as it spread.
