Has anyone determined a method for triggering the DOS attack manually? We've attempted this by changing an infected machine's clock, however it did not work on our test box. If anyone has triggered the attack, do you have a copy of the sniffed data stream?
Josh, Have you tried rebooting the infected box? Apparently, the date check and decision to DoS or infect others comes early on in the code and is not rechecked. - Christopher ======================
