Re: OT: NIMDA worm

Actually, you might want to reconsider.... I'll play devils advocate here... Consider the guy a few years back who fell through a skylight trying to break into a house, then sued (and won) the homeowner for being injured on his property. Or... The guy who sliced his hands up on a booby-trap of razor blades taped to the back of a car stereo while attempting to steal it. He sued and won also. Personally, I'm just banning IP's as I see them. Less work, less hassle, and just as effective. Just a bit of food for thought.

They didn't need to query the server. I could just put up a file /nobodyknowsthispath/whoami.xyz on my server which would erase my local harddisk (by whatever means) if I query it. It's not my problem if someone else queries this obviously not advertised file. Not to mention your right for self-defense.
