It was named Code Red because the the pair were drinking Code Red Mountain Dew at the time of discovery. The worm targeted computers with Microsoft IIS web server installed, exploiting a buffer overflow problem in the system. It leaves very little trace on the hard disk as it is able to run entirely on memory, with a size of 3,569 bytes. Once infected, it will proceed to make a hundred copies of itself but due to a bug in the programming, it will duplicate even more and ends up eating a lot of the systems resources.]]> 2017-12-07 16:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/taylora110/v5m0rhsfhb4p/wish/214214387 taylora110 https://padlet.com/taylora110/v5m0rhsfhb4p/wish/214214882
