Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To those that read my first answer; *ER* then I stand humbly corrected, the why and the who plays a very vital part in trying to figure out the where and how of Code Red, but the number of attempts on a server(S) will not always provide that answer. If I count the amount of buffer overflow attempts and pass that on, it does not always provide the answer or solution to the problem. We all know the magnitude of this but by passing numbers, does it not then place emphasis on the count vice emphasis on the who and why. I love statistical analysis, but simply looking at numbers does not provide the needed in-depth analysis, it points to a problem but not to the overall solution. Well for Rob, that was my 2 cents worth, and now I will go back to my darkened corner, and once again watch what goes by. *ER*, I am not against your answer and nor do I disagree with it, but by simply counting and providing in detail the number does not provide the who and why, it provides a statistic of amount, if it provides the who and why then great, but by simply counting attempts it will not always provide the who/what/where/when/why and how, if it did then we would count every single malformed packet that touched our servers as that alone would provide the needed answer. Glenn Did perhaps the thought that people were trying to understand the "why and who behind Code Red ever dawn on you? That will find you far more than just looking at the Code. The answers are only there, in part. As who and why now-then you will start to understand the problem far better, ------------------------ Yahoo!
