NMAP 4.85BETA remotely detects Conficker worm
Its rather old news but Nmap 4.85beta7 is capable of detecting Conficker worm remotely along with many other improvements. Check out announcement at insecure.org.
By the time, I wrote this article Nmap 4.85Beta 8 was also available.
#nmap -PN -T4 -p139,445 -n -v --script=smb-check-vulns --script-args safe=1
A clean machine should report at the bottom: "Conficker: Likely Clean", while likely infected machines report "Conficker: Likely INFECTED". Refer to How to use Nmap to scan very large networks for Conficker? at nmap development page.
