Anyone know of such a tool?
I hope you're not doing this on a real network! There are a number of network simulators that would simulate such things. One that comes to mind is SSFNet at http://www.ssfnet.org . SSFNet has a package called SSF.App.Worm that "models the spread of a network work such as Code Red v2 or Sapphire/Slammer."

Well, technically yes, it is a real network, but it is not a production network and it is not connected to the Internet :-). We have rebuilt a clients complete WAN on our test bench and are trying to replicate/simulate a "router meltdown" that seems to happen each time a department gets a virus.
So far we can't break it, which tells me either our replication is imperfect, or the problem is somewhere else...
Thanks for the pointer, I will go take a look.
