Back when the Code Red worm came out, somebody wrote a program
that responded to Code Red probes by using the same hole to
break into the infected server and disable it.
Is anybody doing that with this worm?
Or does it step on the infected process too hard for that to work?
Even if people don't want to run it on the open internet,
due to concerns about appropriateness of reverse hacking,
it might be useful for inside-the-firewall cleanup=20
for corporations that get hit.
