What if something like this would be used in a worm like Nimda or CodeRed,
would it crash all the infected servers? Bet that'd really call the admin's
attention. Though it'd make the propagation a little difficult...
Maybe by infecting mail clients (like Nimda) and make them scan for web
servers and crash them?
Cheers,
Rodrigo
