I too read frustration and sarcasm in his post

It did remind me of one linux operator that got tired of rogue machines probing his linux box trying to infect it with windows exploits. One in particular, that I can't remember now.

He wrote a script that targeted that particular exploit and would infect the machine attacking him and actually clean the exploit off the infected machine and then remove itself.

Even so, it was illegal for him to do that, but I do wish someone would allow this kind of script to clean up all the infected machines.

Not a prudent approach. What goes around comes around.
