"The next person that says anything about writing a good worm in my
presence had better have insurance. Len, I love you, you're a great guy,
but this worm is not "benevolent" -- it's just a piece of crap, and very
poorly thought out at that." --nanog-list

any software that opens (especially privileged tcp) ports on my
computer without my consent is also not "benevolent".
