Follow this up with extended unicode directory traversal attacks. The script kiddies best friend!
Good article though.

SgtB, when I clik the link, my firewall blocks it. Warns about Nimda_Propagation attack. What is it?

 

[SgtB]

Weird. Well it does have the code in there for the attack so your firewall or proxy might be seeing the code and therefore blocking it.
I could email it to you, but your gateway might stomp on it there too.
I'd get rid of the code in the doc, but I think that's the whole point of me positng the new article. You might need to access it from a different location, or disable the worm catcher on your firewall/proxy for a minute to view/save the doc.

Trust me though. It doesn't have nimda. It does have a string in there that nimda uses though.

Cool upcoming game! Check it out!
