RE: [LIH] New Linux worm: 'Adore' makes its appearance Article by Robert Lemos, ZDNN, 05 April 2001

The Ramen, Lion and Adore worms can paralise work -- but will not destroy any 
data.  They generally replace system binaries (eg. finger, ifconfig, et al) 
found in the /usr/sbin or /bin directories with their own versions [which will 
make system administrators go crazy!]

Information on how to avoid and how to tackle affected systems is available at 
www.cern.org

Happy deworming!!
