Talk:SQL slammer (computer worm)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the Impace section, it says, "Yonhap news agency in South Korea reported on the Internet services had been shut down for hours on Saturday, January 25, 2003 nationwide." Should this be "reported that the internet services had been shut down" or "reported on the internet that services had been shut down"? Banaticus 09:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, SQL Slammer ruined Mr. Weaver's theory because the worm didn't use permutation scans, partitioned permutation scans or hitlist scans to propagate in 10 minutes. Keep it simple! Gritzko

Is there any reason this article is located at SQL slammer (computer worm) instead of just SQL slammer? Parentheses are for disambiguation, and I don't think there's any ambiguity here. — Jonathan Kovaciny (talk|contribs) 19:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Size of the worm

The beginning of == Technical details == reads:

• "The worm is a small (376 bytes) piece of code that does little other than generate random IP addresses and send itself out to those addresses."
• And the end of the section (which has been mistaken for the discussion page):

"The size of the Worm isn't 376 bytes. The worm sends 376 bytes to UDP port 1434, the SQL Server Resolution Service Port."

I deleted the last sentences and the alleged size in the first sentence. Apokrif 16:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
