Legal Retalliatory DOS Attacks?!?	by GeekPrincess	2006-11-19 12:55:59
I have in the past suggested,	by pecosdave	2002-08-06 07:26:20
a "retaliatory patcher" for Nimda and codered. A script that would scan your Apache log for attacks by those infected and generating false traffic, we already know what attacks those systems are vulnerable to so why not forcibly patch and reboot them. I've written emails to some of the system owners that have attacked me. One of them got really defensive and denied hacking, but the rest were really helpfull and fixed their own systems. The fact that I offered to help didn't hurt matters. The sad truth I've found however is 98% of infected IIS systems don't have a website, and investigating which ones do takes a tremendous amount of time. I think a hack back script would be just the solution in this case. So it reboots your server at an inopertune time while the patch is being applied? Tough should have patched well over a year ago in this case, you're fault.
