Code Red... again

[krusty]

I have logged about 16 attempts by the code red worm to infect my web server.

I contacted my ISP who gave me this addy to download a couple of utils that will test to see if your pc is vulnerable and if the worm is resident.

happy hunting.

That's not good. Can it spread to systems not running win2k? I haven't been too worried because i am running win me.

SUPPOSEDLY-it will not affect home users-only servers.....

 

[glussier]

An home user with win2k/winnt installed on his/her computer operating a tiny 1 webpage webserver qualifies for RedWorm.

Yep... gluss is correct, the worm looks for IIS on http ports.

And I only have a 1 or 2 page website... it doesn't differentiate
