Great. A lack of responsibility is the cornerstone to microsoft's terms of service, why should anyone expect any higher of it's users. > Be sure to have understood the code and it’s pupose before beginning to play > with it. > Tell that to the kids who unleash this and eat up bandwith on corporate networks that expand all over the globe, believe it or not some companies have routers failing because of bandwith issues dealing with Code Red. You also forgot that many companies restrict the rights of users on machines so once they are infected, even if you download the patch it might not be installable (I don't give a shit what user the exploit runs as, so don't bother making it an issue). And what if the patching fails? You've just infected a machine with a worm that searches out other hosts to infect, even if it means well it will eat bandwith. > Feel free to modify the code at will, but don’t blame me, in case something > should not work like expected. > How about making a tool that patches machines and isn't a worm? > Aloah, > Der HexXer. > > -- > GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. > http://www.gmx.net > My opinionated 2 cents.
