Code Red III

· Score: 1
Code Red exploits an.idx vulnerability causing a buffer to overflow with a string of NNN's or XXX's. Code Red I searches for other machines to attack and basically eats up bandwidth. Code Red II searches for other machines to attack as well, but also installs a back door on the system that it infects, giving system access to anyone with a web browser.

The same instructions stay in the instruction register, only the data needs to be swapped.
I've never taken a COURSE in ethics, but I know what the right thing to do is. That's not always the fun thing though :).
