I've been looking at some perl scripts that purport to create cmd.exe shells bound to a tcp port on a remote machine. I'm curious, how would someone connect to these shells? The code looks very compact, I wouldn't imagine you could just http to the port bound with cmd.exe? Perhaps telnet? Is this how Code Red and Nimda were operating?
Ah, that would be (well, one way at least) using the network swiss army knife 'netcat': http://freshmeat.net/projects/netcat/?topic_id=150
