Decoding Code red

What do you do if another computer, infected by the Code Red worm, attacks your machine? You could:

• Knock the attacking machine off the net by deleting its routing tables
• Refer the admin to the Microsoft patch by sending a message
• Come up with some other way of exploiting Code Red's vulnerability to outside control

NOTA BENE: Some of these tactics may not be legal where you live.
