worm creates a known backdoor.  I'm certain that both the CodeRedII author
and other black hats would love for us to compile a list of afflicted hosts
for them to use.

They have a few 'friendly' webservers collecting addresses
just like we do. Everyone on the 'net with a sniffer or web log now
has such a list. It's a good thought though. 

If we are pretty sure that is the case, how about posting a list somewhere
for the good guys to see--or somebody send email to the ARIN-listed
contact for the IP addresses detected.

I'm trying to build a detector here, but it is hard, given the resources
I can bring to bear.  Mostly me, which means we are in really bad
shape, resource-wise.
