If you have any microsoft machines residing behind the router:

Click Start->Run
Type "dcomcnfg.exe"

disable DCOM
then use ingress and egress filtering on port 135. I am sure the problem will get worse before it gets better.

Also on IIS:
Disable TCP port 593 (RPC-over-HTTP)
 
IIS COM Internet Services are vulnerable as well.

I am afraid this one could get nasty

Here's a perliminary snort ruleset that may bring false positives:

alert ip $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 135 (msg:"SHELLCODE - DCOM";
content:"|93 CD C2 94 EA 64 F0 21 8F 32 94 80 3A F2 EC 8C 34 72 98 0B CF
2E 39 0B D7 3A|"; classtype:shellcode-detect; sid:6666; rev:1;)

Also , Todd Sabin, at Bindview, made note that theRPC/DCOM interface is accessible over any RPC protocol sequence that the endpoint mapper listens on.

That includes:

o ncacn_ip_tcp : TCP port 135
o ncadg_ip_udp : UDP port 135
o ncacn_np : \pipe\epmapper, normally accessible via SMB null
                  session on TCP ports 139 and 445
o ncacn_http : if active, listening on TCP port 593.

Hope this helps anyone unfortunate enough to administer microyuck networks.
