Due to the 'never-addressed-mime-issue' of Internet Explorer reading
even dog poo as html, opening start.txt will effect the exploit
partialy.
Namely:
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe
will be overwritten by simply viewing the attached text file.
It is apparent the original intended payload .exe is no longer at the
location, but the wmplayer.exe is still overwritten with a 1KB
wmplayer.exe containing the following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>404 Not Found</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Not Found</H1>
The requested URL /eg/1.exe was not found on this server.<P>
<HR>
<ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.26 Server at onway.net Port 80</ADDRESS>
</BODY></HTML>
<!--
Out of curiosity I
followed that link which loaded start.html (attached).

Caution: off-site archives will and have already stored this as:
text/plain attachment: start.txt
