The Bright Side of Blaster
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-08-14

The Blaster worm has infected hundreds of thousands of Windows machines, shut down the Maryland state DMV, put network administrators on overtime, crashed countless consumer's home computers, and on Saturday it will attempt a denial-of-service attack on Microsoft's Windows Update site. But that doesn't make it all bad.

Pretty clear to me who wrote the Worm..

Micro$oft...

Why ? As discussed it has got macines patched around the globe without to much damage..

Why do I think this? Its lame programming and the Syn attack (when it works) does not even hit the write site. It is made to look as if was written by a M$ hater but i can see through that surely you can to!

A non I mouse
