After hearing so much about this, I decided today
to point netcat at port 80 and see if anything
came up. Wow. Three hits in 10 minutes (two
CR1 and two CR2). It's amazing that a pathetic
little dial-up connection in a far off corner
of the world would get hit like that.
If any of you are interested in trying this,
the following will output Code Red attacks to
your screen.
------------
nc -l -p 80

Pipe it through |more to see all of it.
Linux and MSwindows versions of netcat are
available here:

It any of you guys would like a version of
netcat that runs in BasicLinux, let me know.
Cheers,

P.S. While writing this letter I have been
hit twice more.
