Hello All,
I am currently trying to penetrate a client having the mydoom virus. Any
suggestions? Does anyone have any kind of client I can use?

My understanding is that Mydoom-infected hosts receive commands by
connecting to an IRC channel. I don't think you can connect directly to it.
It's always possible (but not that likely) that the author of the virus has
controlled your client's PC and uploaded some other Trojan, which might be
controllable by connecting directly to it.
Simon.
