Re: [LUG] Virus



hi jon,

i think this sounds like a great idea - just make sure the popup is nice and big, the words shouldn't have too many syllables and possibly the URL of the patch download site :o) also, penguin icon - plug for linux etc.

Speaking of viruses, Nimda/code red etc are really beginning to get on my

These damn people who run IIS and don't patch it are driving my web logs
crazy. My var partition isn't massive and it's come close to filling up on a
few occaisions - obviously this would have cripple my server.

question:
As these viruses are requesting something from my web server, if my sever
served say a file called nimba.ida would I be right in saying that this
would be perfectly legal.
I have a script (untested at present) which would cause a popup window on
IIS servers saying that they had a virus.
I know that code red leaves a huge backdoor on systems that it's infected
and I'm starting to get to the point where I'll take advantage of it and
start leaving some nasty messages for incompetent administrators.
