[ale] Code Red II!!! Disregard previous reply!!!

[SAngell at nan.net]

I think you are correct. Microsoft reported that the patches to correct the
vulnerability in Index Server was downloaded over 1 million times since June 18,
2001. Seeing that you have to wonder if there is any other objective by future
attacks other than to absorb bandwidth.

Ale'rs

I think that the main idea behind code red is not actually to
really cause problems with M$ servers, but maybe our bandwidth. Because
I'm getting hits from everywhere too.
