Code Red II: Shells for the Taking

sigurdur writes "It seems there is a new and more malicious version of Code Red out there. This one seems to try and copy cmd.exe into a position where it is accesible to us all - the scripts directory. So far I have seen it reported on the intrusions-list at incidents.org where they also just put up a notice about this third generation Code Red worm." I still think sircam is more annoying since it affects every email user, and not primarily poorly administered websites. But imagine how much bandwidth Code Red and Sircam have wasted in the last few weeks?

    Yes, but that would be illegal. We don't want to do that now do we, or we would be as bad as the worm author.

    Is there away to use this exploit to shutdown the offending machine, or send a message or something? I'm tired of having my cox@home subnet flooded with crap traffic.

    You really think that someone who reads slashdot won't have patched their system by now if they were going to?
    Anyone who pays any attention to the media has patched their system. The fact that there are so many people htting my box (and everyone else's) just shows how many totally uninformed idiots there are out there.
