Grab the reins..(Re: [Xitami] Another CodeRed solution...)

[Craig Morrison]

Only Windows NT/2000 machines running IIS 4/5 are vulnerable to the attack.

Don't wait for your ISP to start blocking ports. Write to them now telling
them that you do NOT run a web server that can be exploited by Code Red. Tell
them that if they block HTTP requests that you will find another ISP who is
more attuned to the real world.

As Arlo Guthrie said, "if enough of us get together they'll think its a
movement". Don't let your ISP determine what gets to your server, it is not
their place. This is an administrative issue, not an ISP issue. Take the
initiative. Hit them where it hurts, paying the bill.

It is just like voting in the states, the powers that be are there to serve
us, not us there to serve them.
