There has already been a massive application of the patches, according to www.netcraft.com at http://www.netcraft.com/survey/#August, Code Red vulnerability has dropped to less than 20%, since July. It continues to drop. Your general characterization of cluelessness is a bit unfair. It is puzzeling that root.exe vulnerability is the only indicator that continues to rise, albeit slowly. Netcraft shows it to be >10% at the moment. BTW, I'm still seeing massive scanning activity. |> From: sigma@pair.com [mailto:sigma@pair.com] |> Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 10:37 AM |> |> Along those lines, weren't there some projects last time |> around to find and |> clean up the affected machines?
