 I've done that and after 12 hours I had about 27 files. 8 of them
were unique both in size and content. I've identified the one that drops
the .tbz with source code but that leaves me with another 7 different
files. Question is, how many things are out there piggybacking on
mydoom's backdoor? And now the source code is public many more
will emerge in the next few days...
