The Sadmind worm was a computer worm which exploited vulnerabilities in both Sun Microsystems' Solaris ( Security Bulletin 00191) and Microsoft's Internet Information Services ( MS00-078), for which a patch had been made available seven months earlier. It was discovered on May 8, 2001. [4]
Specifically, the virus affected the sadmind daemon on Solaris systems which had sadmind enabled in inetd.conf, due to the fact that the sadmind daemon normally ran with root privileges. [5]
The worm defaced web servers with a message against the United States government [6] and the anti-Chinese cracking group PoizonBOx. [7]
