bandwidth - typically FastEthernet. So targetting IIS servers is a sure way of maximizing your zombie power (the only more powerful worm would be an Apache zombie which has about 18M potential clients or a bind worm-zombie).
Cut it out! You're making my blood run cold. Four years ago, I had three systems cracked by mwsh. The entry was via BIND. They were a Linux boxen and the exploit downloaded mwsh source code and compiled it. It could, just as easily, do that with CodeRed sources. Fortunatelyy, most BIND installations have been upgraded since then. But, I'll bet that there are a few that haven't been. Is Raul Dhesi listening? <shudder>
