CODE RED

Code Red is an Internet worm that attacks Microsoft IIS web servers. The first
Code Red worm is believed to have been released on August 1st 2001. Code Red exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the indexing service of IIS and propogates from the first to the nineteenth day of each month by connecting to TCP port 80 (the standard http or web port) on randomly selected systems. From the twentieth through the twenty-seventh day of each month Code Red runs a packet flood DoS attack aimed at IP address 198.137.240.91.
