That's the hard part. We don't know yet. Service directors, gazillion   
printers, routers, switches, and multitudes of appliances with more processing

network security and topology come into play. 
 
The Internet was started 'cause folks were curious about coffee pot.  Guess 
eventually there will be a vulnerability scanner. Some of the worms are  
quite clever and may do nothing except sit there and wait for the call to 
attack  or replicate to rest of network.
