Very Fast Worms
Nicholas C Weaver writes about Warhol Worms: The Potential for Very Fast Internet Plagues. The author proposes a few ways of accelerating the spread of “active” worms like Code Red, etc. Interesting stuff, hopefully we won’t see one spread this fast.
Given the problems caused by Code Red and the fact that it spread over the course of 24+ hours, I’d hate to see what something which is designed to spread in 15 minutes does.
