I updated my virus definitions and checked my firewalls website for any patches and installed them. Other than that I ignored the latest virus gossip. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that this virus DDOS'es sco's website. I would be so happy that I would even consider (for about half a second) infecting my own machines.

That's exactly what the virus does. It is a SCO.com ddos virus.

Isnt there another version of the virus that will target Microsoft on Tuesday? But probably that one won't be as effective as the one targetting SCO...

SCO should have tried one of Netcraft's suggestions.

Preferably one of these:



Solution 3: Point www.sco.com at someone you don?t like.

Consequences: SCO Executives take a poll on which web site annoys them the most. Slashdot wins. hostmaster@sco.com CNames www.sco.com to slashdot.org. SCO Execs cackle demonically at the prospect of slashdotting Slashdot.
Solution 5: SCO Execs point www.sco.com at the loopback address 127.0.0.1, end lawsuits, dismiss lawyers, and invest remaining corporate cash reserves in call options in Dell & Microsoft stock.

Consequences: No denial of service traffic whatsoever seen on the Internet. Millions of Windows users notice that their computer is running extremely slowly. Many buy new machines, which fixes the problem. Dell & Microsoft stock rises. Everyone lives happily ever after.

Why would they target it on a Sunday? sco.com wouldnt have much problem with this. Hit them on a business day for maximum effect.
Dumb coders anyways :p

Thats a different story. Still, just set up a packet sniffer, then after you see what they are configure your router to drop the traffic. Ah well, still, I like it. :cool:
