Subject: Sasser skips 10.x.x.x Why?

Why on earth would sasser skip 10.x.x.x?

I would venture to say there are a lot of unpatched machines hiding behind
corporate firewalls.

I guess it could be that the target machines are mostly internet based home
machines that have no 10.x.x.x ips to infect and would thus be wasted
infection attempts.

Blaster skipped 10.x.x.x too and was just wondering why...
