It is handling the/. effect miraculously well. I've seen sites die much worse deaths than this. It's as slow as my 14.4 connection of 5 years ago. But it is still working.
As far as I can see, the mysmart pad is ps/sc compliant. This means that it has drivers so an OS (especially windows) can treat it as a generic smart card reader. There is also a Linux project for this stuff (muscle) so anyone can use it. There are several *nix projects on sourceforge too just search. This type of card is different in form-factor to DirectTV ones. The chip is placed in a different part of the card but I am pretty sure they are otherwise similar. Though I haven't used the mysmart pad myself, I do like the quick-link ideas though it depends on software running (like cuerat). And you can replace the sheets that allow OEMs to put their brand on it. It has been around at least a year so someone is buying them. For lotsa fun in smart card microcontroller programming (cheap too) see BasicCard. Cheap too.
This and other stores selling 2nd hand crap can be a decent place to look for parts. They also have no really set prices so you can bargain a bit. But they usually hate buying stuff from you.
By the way, has anyone noticed that most of the proves are coming from dsl/cable modem connections? Well I did.
Is it really possibel that there are that many NT/2K machines on these networks and if so, are so many of them running IIS?
Anyone know of a site that gives a good technical explanation of the worm? I'd like to know if it shows up as a process of its own or if it is part of the IIS process. Also, can it be killed without a reboot. What about if you received two separate probes (potential infections)? Would you have two processes trying to spread the worm?
I think this worm was relatively sophisticated. Was there a similar expolit of IIS put to such use in recent history? I think most people just rebooted and it went away (of course they are open to exploitation again now). And they will get infected by this worm or a variant. Also, how many servers didn't even get hit this time around? They could be waiting to be expolited. Has anyone seen worms hitting their (patched) servers since the weekend? If so, has the code changed?
Sorry, I have a lot of questions.

funny? yeah that's a frickin blast.
check the mirror out beforehand...

My neighbor kid just earned a whole lot of ACNE. Any he's just 14. Kids today...
code red II doesn't infect NT I think.

just how will that get your beer back?
