Nimda and CodeRed created huge security holes on the infected machines. This is far worse a payload than having a server reboot. Crashing a server is silly. If you propogated n times then crashed the server, you would lose the exponential spreading effect. Right? -Chris
What if something like this would be used in a worm like Nimda or CodeRed, would it crash all the infected servers? Bet that'd really call the
admin's
attention. Though it'd make the propagation a little difficult...
