That's certainly one problem with it. The other major thing it was doing last week is attacking some Cisco routers which have their web server turned on to the world. We have a customer who's on a DSL connection with a Cisco box connecting to the DSL which bounced several times before their DSL provider figured out what was going on, and had him disable the server. Our upstream provider had a significant outage on the same day which they said was due to routing problems which could be related. Personally I think Cisco is to routers what Microsoft is to desktops. We configure routers so that all access to their admin servers is filtered to prevent access except from specific sites. We're now using Linux boxes with WAN cards in new installations, and these are only accessible with secure shell.

I was refering to Code Red being a bandwidth hog as it's infecting IIS and probing other boxes. Then again, I could be wrong.

It appears that some Cisco equipment runs a web server that was vulnerable to the attack. Of course I have to ask why anybody wouldn't have already either turned off the web interface on their router, or at least put in filters to restrict access to it to just those people who should be doing the administration? Then again, I've never been able to figure out why responsible people run Windows on anything critical.

Quite a few people were getting this error. Possibly due to the Code Red worm. It was supposed to hit 8pm EDT, that would be about 10am your time(if my math and timezones are correct). Haven't heard if it was unrelated to this or not.
