RE: [cobalt-users] The Code-Red Worm is attacking... GOD it's attacking.

yeah, that's it. default.ida is a windows file. we don't really have to
worry about it on the cobalt. it can annoy the hell out of you and could
cause a (small) DDoS but it seems like the attacks stop if unsuccessfull
after X attempts.

any windows users out there just go to your box and remove all mappings to
.ida files.

I have several of these entries in my access log:

"GET

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

HTTP/1.0" 302 578 "-" "-"

(sorry if this doesn't wrap or comes out horrible)
I've had 80 of these entries so far.
Are these log entries related to the Code-Red Worm? Shimi, can you post some
links to more information about this worm? I haven't found anything doing
searches.
Thanks,
Paul
