It would seem, based upon my reading the page, that most of us will have to
patch our kernels before this will work, so being somewhat idle, I promptly
downloaded the patch and applied it to the RedHat kernel running on one of
my "spare" boxes, rebooted and tested it. Heck, it works. However, I should
say that it slowed things down quite a bit, running only 64M of memory. I
don't have anything scientific to prove that, just the observation. However,
within five minutes, it did capture and DROP a set of packets. I was
impressed.

There it is. I'm going to experiment some more with this with a box and see
if there are any additional drawbacks to using an iptables filter to trap
Code Red. Then I'll summarize back here what I find. I'm still somewhat
surprised how easily it all flew together, and it works! 8-)
