Strikingly simple protocol -- too simple for MS's own good, to judge by
the worm...

One thing that caught my attention in the code was this block --

        string[] rawtokens = rs.Split(';');
        Hashtable data = new Hashtable();
        for(int i=0; i<rawtokens.Length/2; i++) {
                data[rawtokens[i*2]] = rawtokens[i*2+1];
        }
        if(!data.ContainsKey("tcp")) throw new +TcpNotSupportedException();
        Port = int.Parse((string)data["tcp"]);

I wonder what other options this thing throws back besides the 'tcp' port
option? Hmm...
