Yes it has been months since the worlds greatest worm came out and cause devestation to specific server (SCO). Well finally I have the FULL C source for it. If you guys want it to analyze just ask me. If you already dont know already I have two great Internet Security Sites that are constantly being used my thousands of IT Professionals each day.

I have a couple thinks to say:
1) If this is so simple why dont you code one?
2) If this was "copied" by many than howcome the "copiers" havent been able to surpass the 193 million infected machines overnight? Most people would revolutionize this code and make it better than it is now, making it more destructive.

3) Get a life skript kiddie

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't other widespread e-mail worms such as Netsky and Bagle nearly identical to MyDoom? Furthermore, it's not the actual executable trojan that is revolutionary, but the clever way in which people are socially engineered into setting it loose on their systems. Most of the infected messages I've seen pass through my company's spamtrap seem to be pretty convincing to people who don't keep up with the latest tech news and antivirus definitions.

In the case of Netsky and Bagle, it doesn't seem to be a case of aiming for mass destruction, but rather a case of sparring worm authors (http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/articles/wormwar.html). It's incredible what bored coders can be capable of.

I'm not going to comment on item #3.
