"A worst case worm" paper by Nicholas Weaver and Vern Paxson (and Stuart Staniford)
This entry is for Axel (Balrog) Eble, who hasn't seen that one on the f-secure blog before . - No really, I wanted to blog this, but then I somehow forgot.
Nicholas Weaver et al. published a paper on a worst-case worm that could cause $50 billion or more in damage by attacking Microsoft Windows systems and carrying a destructive payload.

Apparently, quite a few people are developing worst worm scenarios now (incl. Axel, Marcus and me..) Bruce Schneier just commented on WITTY and the "firsts" that came with it elsewhere. (Basically, he is commenting on that other Weaver paper blogged below.)
