Thats a good point. What if one was to write a worm to reproduce and innoculate their own systems. IP Based, can't get out. A user plugs a laptop in, worm jumps ship, user takes laptop and plugs into another network, worm is loose?. Could a strikeback worm be 'released' and claim to be an innocent escape or a bug? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Albert > Sunseri > Sent: Tuesday, 28 January 2003 13:10 > To: Richard M.
