What bother with the email.

Since CR installs a CMD Shell that is freely accessable, 
Write a script that write a text file to that users computer.

Hi Peter,

There are a few tools that will slow down, redirect, or block code red
probes.  Not sure how effective they are...I was lazy and just filtered
incoming code red probes via a dirty little script that updates ACLs on
my
Foundry switches.

Some links/tools:

I wrote one too, but in awk.  With a shell script add-on.  It's running
on FreeBSD 4.3 with the following added to apache's httpd.conf:
       CustomLog "| /path/to/coderedalert" common

http://www.it.ca/software/coderedalert - build the email
http://www.it.ca/software/ipcontacts - grabs contact emails for the IP

I got my copy from http://www.dasbistro.com/default_ida_info.html

For Apache, try Apache::CodeRed... available from http://www.cpan.org

To download CodeRed Scanner go to:
http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Tools/codered.html

CCO official release on blocking code red w/ IOS NBAR -
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/nbar_acl_codered.shtml

There is a useful document at: http://www.incidents.org/diary/diary.php
which offers an explanation of what CRII does and some useful ways on
how
we can stop it eg by filtering at transparent caches etc - worth a
read.

Regards,
