From: "Geo." 

I can't find write-ups on any recent worms, seems the details don't get
posted to the AV sites anymore for some odd reason. However if you want to
see for yourself, install NT4 or W2K on a box, don't patch it, and stick it
on a routable IP for an hour or two. I guarantee you will have all the
proof you need.

The ones you hear about that run native code, infect in 3 stages, via an
initial overflow, write a script to disk, then execute it to download the
native code. The worm part, the thing that's running after the machine is
infected is native exe but the scripts are left on the disk so you can see
how it launched.

I did post the script from this worm earlier in the thread

   Can you name some?  The ones I remember hearing about lately are native
code.  I'm not counting the "worms" that aren't worms that
require users to click on a link or file in some IM program.  Or do you
think that malware that requires user interaction can be rightfully called
a worm?
