But this has a way of spreading and causing DoS
Yep, one lousy windows box infected with Sasser managed to DoS the router for one of the T1s in my office for the better part of a day until our desktop support guy found and defected it. Apparently the router was spending so much time dropping the broadcast packets from sasser that it was basically overloaded and not passing any other traffic.
