The third mechanism for worm executable delivery is through a central site. In this system, the parent node executes a request from the new child node to the central site to retrieve the programs that make up the worm code from a central site. This can include a malicious Web site or file distribution server or some other system.
This method for delivering the worm payloads is most directly related to the methods used by attackers in manual compromises. Typically an attacker who amassed many hosts via a compromise distributes their programs to the compromised hosts from a central system. Early worms, which were wrapper scripts around the exploit process, often utilized this mechanism.

While the intentions of those who write and release worms are difficult to report without a representative sampling, much can be gathered based on the capabilities of the worms they create.

Can the visitors you hope to attract access your site without barriers? Do visitors experience your site in the manner in which you intended?
Does your site get your message across? Does the site entertain or inform? Can you quantify the site’s success through increased sales, decreased support calls, or inquiries from markets you’ve not previously been able to enter?

Obviously we want our computers to be secure against threats. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as absolute security, where a computer is either secure or it’s not. You may take a great deal of technical precautions to safeguard your computers, but your protection is unlikely to be effective against a determined attacker with sufficient resources.
A government-funded spy agency could likely penetrate your security, should they be motivated to do so. Someone could drive a truck through the wall of your building and steal your computers. Old-fashioned ways are effective, too: there are many ways of coercing people into divulging information.
