Denial of Service Payload
On the first system startup on February 1st or later, the worm changes its behavior from mass mailing to initiating a denial of service attack against the sco.com domain. This denial of service attack will stop on the first system startup of February 12th or later, and thereafter the worm's only behavior is to continue listening on TCP port 3127.

It saddens me that someone who is too immature to find a better way of proving their point than to waste everyone's bandwidth and their time. SCO knows about this, I am sure. There must be at least one person there who has a clue. They'll do the same thing Microsoft did when WindowsUpdate was targetted. The DDoS will not happen. Shame they couldn't devote their skills towards a worthwhile project. There are plenty of projects needing good programmers.
