I would hope leased line/colo machines would be better set up, but I am probably dreaming. Just for referance I an one of the net/security admins at distributed.net and there are a number of win* worms running arounf in the wild carrying the distributed.net client as part of their payload. So far in the past 3 months ( since the worms appeared) I have logged over 400,000 unique IP addresses returning data to distributed.net from installs created by the worms. We have spot checked a number of these IPs and find win9x boxes with open C shares and signs on multiple infestation including QAZ and other DDoS payloads. daa daa@distributed.net
