code red and linux?

[wurmy]

has there been any sign that the code red virus has affected/infected any linux webservers at all? or has it STRICTLY been going for ms?

it affects internet information server, but i heard that cisco uses IIS in some routers, and they aren't as easy to patch as a regular winders box

no linux though

I have a cisco router, and the update was fairly simple, about as complicated as flashing your bios..atleast for me

CISCO routers running IIS? I've never heard of that. Are you sure?

I know some routers and other devices got knocked out by the worm, but they weren't infected by it -- they just choked to death on the bad HTTP.

Yes, the worm only affects IIS. On Linux, however, you CAN put a happy little script on your web server that'll automatically reboot or otherwise trash any infected system that tries to connect to your box.
