Yes I think that there is no need to panic too... I even add, even if some people will find me cynic, that I wonder how the Internet will react to this worm. Now that security IS a professional priority, that the vulnerabilities are for a large part known an categorized, that IDS are common, and security 'expert' even more common... Will the Internet handle it better than the Morris worm ? Now just a 2 cents analysis : I fear far much a huge DDOS attack, with this new BIND exploit and the formatstring exploits 'popping' everywhere... For me a new wave is coming, I just wonder who will be the authors : black-hats or government agencies (They're all talking about cyberwar and none of them try anything ?) :-) "Trying to be a SMART lamer" (thanx to Merlyn ;-)
