The reason : Everyone is infected with some nasty turd of a virus. which is slowing down everything and Creating huge log files in all my firewalls.
My thoughts :
These people need help and help desks everywhere are jammed up with people to thick to google for it.
It would be easy to scan a range of IPs if someone were to put together a little tool to do so and check for the exploit and repair it where it is found.
Other Thoughts
Strawberry Cheese Cake Kicks Ass
hehe Warlock trying to use complex sentance structure and criticise my motives then mis spelling "Thoughts"
Closing Thought.
It was just an idea.
Forgot to mention

Since you clearly didn't understand what I ment with the sand thing warlock. It was Metaphorical
P.P.P I know I misspelled "meant" but that was intentional honest

Mark want's to be the Cyber Robin Hood of sorts :) Sounds good to me but if it fixes the hole doesn't that limit it from propogating? Since we are discussing the hypothetical; cherry cheesecake over RuleZ. :D

mark >> this person would be somewhat likened to Batman. stopping crimes as/before they start, yet remaining nameless. someone would assume the person is doing a bad thing and attempting to DoS, or something. people get freaked out when that activity light on the cable modem blinks.
on the other hand, it would be extremely interesting, and good-will based. like helping old ladies across the street. a good guy hacker protecting against bad guy hackers.
-
Theoretically this would seal all top level IPs which would reduce the traffic being sent to me.
Not really robin hood. I'm just sick of my log file being longer than my , well something pretty long anyway.

Mark: While I am down with the idea I gotta say that looking at the practicalities it's not feasable.
MSBlaster.exe = 7kb and the scanning and downloading has made a noticable slow down in my region - lets talk logfiles..... :mad:
WINXP patch = 1.28mb...... Now that's what I call DENIAL OF SERVICE...... ;)
-
Mark its a very bad idea...I just spent (and will spend the rest of my day.) fixing the mess that the MS patch created.
-
Difference being that It only has to download once and all these people should be busy doing it itself.
Damn, I never thought of that. I know. It could connect to the machine remove the msblast and variants.
I could let it go and we could have a chimera vs balerafon type fight to see who wrote their code better.
No, Damn it thats just as bad. hmmm, What if I just patch the registry and leave a desktop shortcut to the download and a msg box telling them of the exploit signed The Cyberhood

OMG,ill thank god for m blaster.This way billsoft release some patch.Please keep on programming some worms for masses.that helps.

In the digital age there is a fine line between hero and criminal.
I'd like to see the aforementioned nameless person make a worm of that nature work without choking too much bandwidth. Would be nice to see.
