[NTLUG:Discuss] New IIS Virus

[Mike Hart]

What if the counter attack were only launched on sites
that tried to load stuff onto your box?  that is, if a
webserver tried to hand you readme.exe, you go in and
wipe the nimba clean. That could legally put you more
into an active defense of your own site, rather than
intruding into others. 

That is, the software pretends to be a 'stupid'
microsoft server, and gives the answers that an
unprotected microsoft box would. The counter attack
waits until an illegal activity has occured before it
initiates a wipe sequence.  Would this still be an
illegal program?
