From what i read about the 'Code Red'-worm, it was supposed to be scanning

for IIS-servers. It obviously is'nt, i believe it tries to infect
everything they find on port 80, or something as simple as that.


Run nc -l -p 80 > worm, and you'll get a copy.  It's not scanning
in any sense, it just tries a connect, and sends the string.
