That's exactly the mistake that Robert Morris (of the infamous Sendmail worm[1]) made: he kept re-infecting the machines.

Yeah, I read about Morris worm a year later in my networking textbook. It was a good feeling to realize what I have done was similar in nature. Of course, Morris worm was a real technical exploit (buffer overflow was involved IIRC) Mine was nowhere comparable to that in sophistication.
