RE: Windows Dcom Worm planned DDoS

The examinations of the code so far indicate that the worm is
coded to DoS the windowsupdate site from the 15th of August 
onwards through the end of the year.

I'll ignore the sloppiness in that description, as several of the 
published descriptions have (or at least initially got) it confused 
through slightly wrong too...

The examinations of the code *that I have read so far* indicate 
that...?

... the Dos takes place any month it the day is after the 15th, or any day if the month is after August. So starting 
from August 15th it wil DoS windowsupdate.com to the end of the year, but the attack is possible in earlier months as 
well. And it will not stop at the end of the year, just gets paused for 15 days.

Gabor Szappanos
