MyDoom.B apperntly enters into you hosts file along with a lot of others
www.microsft.com with address 0.0.0.0
I think a DoS sending http GET requests to www.microsfot.com from that
machine is probably not going to reach microsoft.



It was mentioned somewhere (I think f-secure) that it will remove certain entries before it starts the attack.

http://f-secure.com/v-descs/mydoom_b.shtml

"An additional line is added before the the date when attack against Microsoft begins:

0.0.0.0 www.microsoft.com

Which will make the site unaccessible. The 3rd of February the entry will be removed so the attack can be performed, which will probably cause some difficulties reaching it, if the DDoS is successful."

It's just SCO trying to gather publicity from the whole situation.

"Oh, look at us - we're under attack by an evil virus."

What's the bets they try to blame the open source community? Especially with
Microsoft also being the target for MyDoom.B

Anyone with MyDoom author info, a reward is posted.



No honest person would take those 30 silver coins from SCO.
