    I've got these requests going back to May, beyond that I'd have to
    uncompress logs but who cares. If I grep for "255" and/or ".." and
    "cmd.exe"... well.. yeah. lots and lots of entries. It's code
    red/blue/green/god knows what and Nimda and lord knows what else.
    
    Make sure your servers are patched before they go online and if you're like
    me find someone nice to have dinner with and forget about it. There are much
    better things to do in life then worrying about the latest (or not so
    latest) windows worm.
