A malicious piece of software
Published:
22 July 2001 y., Sunday
The CODE RED worm is a malicious piece of software that replicates
and propagates to unpatched Microsoft IIS webservers running on
Windows NT or 2000. Once the worm has infected a machine it begins
scanning random IP addresses looking for other IIS servers
to infect. The worm is currently estimated to have infected at
least 50,000 servers and is spreading fast. The scanning traffic
generated by the worm is now causing denial of service effects on
many networks. An analysis of the worm's programs indicates that
all infected machines will begin waging a flooding attack
against www.whitehouse.gov sometime tomorrow (July 20th). The
effect of this many machines operating in concert in a DDoS
attack could possibly be devastating to the Internet infrastructure.
