Consider this case
A web page /default.ida exists on a server which when requested (via Code
Red)pops up a message on the affected computer. How can it be illegal when
it was the affected machine which requested the script in the first place ?
I have not initiated a hack nor attempted to infiltrate the system. It was
the originating syetem which requested the file, which in turn executed a
legitimate script.
