Unclean
Y'know, it's strangely tempting to write a devastatingly pervasive all-rounder virus/worm hybrid with some kind of vaguely internet-crippling payload.
Why? The intellectual challenge, I suppose. It's a try-to-do-better-than thing. The majority of new nasties seem to be fairly lame - with the occasional exception, they're buggy, or they're strong in certain areas but very weak in others. And decent polymorphism appears to have all but died out - the moment Symantec et al get hold of a specimen, the virus is ultimately doomed. A worm that combined the "best" features of many of its predecessors, and then some, tested to the hilt, would be highly likely to survive in the wild.
I wonder if the act of actually writing a virus is illegal yet, or if, as the Dr Solomon told us in his lecture a few weeks ago, you can only be prosecuted if you actually release one.
Either way, I fancy doing some research into "fully" polymorphic executables. Maybe as my third year project. I can't think of any non-malicious applications for such a technology yet, but I'm sure there are some :-)

You really have to fuckin' provoke me, don't you. The reason I blasted you, was not because I was sticking up for Dave (he'd be the first person to tell you that I wouldn't stick up for him) but because you insulted the work of myself and others just to get a cheap shot at someone you don't like. I don't put up with that crap, so anymore bullshit out of your mouth sonny, and I will hunt you down, and kick the living shit out of you, I fucking dare you.

Graeme isn't my boss. Where in the hell did you get that info from? Graeme and me are business partners. Fool.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Unclean
Hehe, getting your boss to insult someone on a blog for you :) This has reached a new level of maturity.
Don't you just love the professionalism of some companies these days...
Re: Re: Re: Unclean
Fuck you, ya little shite
Re: Re: Unclean
Yeah Paul, what are you thinking of...
You need to get out more like Dave says and then maybe one day you too can make a 10-years out-of-date Cannon Fodder clone that is the pride of all of E3!
Sigh, some people don't know how lucky they are...
Re: Unclean
