Show Notes
In this episode of In the Shell, we dive into the story of the Code Red worm, one of the most notorious cyberattacks in history. We explore how it all began with a vulnerability in Microsoft IIS web servers, leading to the rise of multiple versions of the worm. From defaced websites to failed DDOS attacks, and the eventual rise of the dangerous Code Red II, this episode uncovers the chaos it caused and the lessons we can still learn from it today.
