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... Maybe by infecting mail clients (like Nimda) and make them scan for web servers and crash them?
I *think* Nimda and CodeRed end up with enough privilege to simply issue a reboot command if they want. As I recall, CodeRed II does reboot after a while, which gets rid of any CodeRed I running. BB
