Ian, Do you know of worms that would actually try to leverage a web service such as google, and interpret the results of that search? I always assumed that all they would do is connect over port 80, and try to retrieve something like /admin/, or another platform-specific resource over http, and there's not much that excluding the URL through /robots.txt is going to do to stop that. I'm actually curious though -- is there enough advantage to be had by parsing the HTML response of a google search, that malware writers would bother to write that, rather than just trying IPs at random?
