Not so sure I can agree with you.
It's still a worm to me. Although the author had good intentions, the
concept is still the same. Anyone who touch my machine(s) w/o my knowledge
and processes something should be shot. In fact, I should be shot if I
allow it.
Don't you think that in a corporate environment that this type of stuff
should be done in a test environment PRIOR to release to real world systems?
What would happen if this is run against a system that wasn't tested and in
fact brought down a major corporate application?
Who's then at fault? Good? I think not... Sorry..
Just my $0.02.
Rick

Well, seriously, I've never seen a "good" worm until now.
