I apologize if in my previous email I didn't make it clear, this is an
important issue for system administrators world wide, so I am emailing
again in regard to this subject alone - a time table for the Mydoom DDoS
attack.
In my post from the 30th of January with the subject: "Refuting
tall-tales and stories about the Mydoom.A and Mydoom.B worms" -
we released an analysis of the Mydoom worms DoS mechanism, refuting
rumors about it not existing (http://www.math.org.il/mydoom-facts.txt).
You can find a _time_table _for when the DDoS attack will happen, as
calculated by a C program Joe Stewart wrote at:
http://www.math.org.il/mydoom-a-timeline.txt
Mydoom.B has a time line too, but it can't be predicted as definitely
because of an extra random check.
For more information about the DoS attack itself performed by the worm,
how and when (including reverse engineering bits) you should check the
above mentioned article.
