How can we defend? Files fill with junk and no way see which is your work, which is your fault or external overflow.

Looking at my own server logs from back then, it was using this long string of characters as the beginning of the query string (the part after the ? in the URL) to overflow the buffer. I'm updating the article to clarify this. Mpeg4codec 02:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I explained the worm payload is the set of characters following the last 'N'. --_N_e_g_r_u_l_i_o 19:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
