The strange thing about this 'worm' is that it is totally dependant on several central servers. Firstly, the FTP server where the files are retrieved, secondly the IRC server (that has been slashdottet now apparently). With Nimda, the tftp transfer was made from the infected to the infecting host. I am not trying to give advice on writing worms, but that is obviously a much better design. This worm will not spread massively since the servers it is depandant on are down within hours.
