does anyone know a way to protect yourself? i'm currently running a redhat 6.2 server, and i'd like to get my hands on a copy of this ramen worm to see if it affects my server, before a script kiddy tries...
Does anyone know where i can get the code to analyze it?

there are some threads on this in web serving/security
including one from someone that got this worm about 1 day before the news broke

yeah, i read through them.. and i've been doing a little research here and there. It sounds like a horrible worm. It could be altered slightly, to allow connections in through a backdoor. I certainly don't want this to happen to me or anyone else
