The virus is written ordsprog

The virus is written in assembler and is relatively simple. However, it is interesting in that it is capable of infecting the different file formats used by Linux and Windows - ELF and PE format files respectively.

It's a technical achievement within the virus writing community, in this case the ability to infect both Windows and Linux executable files.

Anti-virus companies have the problem that the attacks involve a file format that was not used for previous attacks. The researchers had to dig through the file format, and detection routines had to be carefully tested in order to avoid false positives.

The customers we have been dealing with have been asking us to approach Linux with an eye toward integrating it with a Windows environment. Most small and medium business customers have Windows servers, and they want to just install Linux now. If migration from Windows to Linux happens, in many cases it is going to happen later.

When you're running Windows on a Mac, you're as vulnerable as any Windows user. An interesting question is, would a malicious Windows program affect Mac files on the same computer? It's theoretically possible but extremely difficult to pull off and would reach a very small audience in the Mac market.

We will continue to have this problem with drifting file formats and the loss of society's memory. That will continue to be a problem until there is a multi lateral baseline file format.

Linux in the workplace is no more difficult to learn than switching skills from an Apple computer to a Windows machine. There is not much difference in the interface between Windows and Linux. For a new user, Linux is just as easy, if not easier.

Why bother writing a virus for Linux and Mac when you can get so many other users by writing one for Windows? This is especially true because, for a virus to become serious, it has to find other vulnerable systems, and with Macs, that would be a very limited spread.

For a while the press and the market was preoccupied with this question about whether Linux was going to kill Windows and whether Linux fundamentally introduced a value proposition was going to pull users away from Microsoft. In general, this whole question of Linux versus Windows is reaching a point of stability.

Even if you've got a homogenous Linux or Unix server environment, at some point you are going to have a business partner, a customer or a supplier that is using Windows and is going to touch your network. And if you haven't secured those environments, then that could be a backdoor for a worm or a virus to infect your Windows network.

Linux has been somewhat suspect in performance compared to NT 4.0, and if Windows 2000 raises the bar, it raises the bar above where Linux is competing. On the other hand, there's no stopping Linux being the key alternative to Windows 2000 for as far as we can see.

For too long, special interest groups have attacked the manageability of Linux, and fueled the F.U.D. that Linux environments are somehow more difficult or labor-intensive to manage than Windows environments. In fact, Linux system management tools are in many cases outpacing Windows management tools.

We'll start seeing viruses attacking Windows with the ability to infect Linux and Mac machines. It's not a stretch to imaging a single virus going across all three platforms and even further.

The XM Passport is a whole new audio format, in the same way that CDs and MP3s are audio formats. You can take a CD from the stereo to the car, or take an MP3 file from the computer to the portable player. With the XM Passport, you can take XM from one product to the next to listen. It goes wherever you go. A pe𝗑y man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive.

Antivirus companies have the problem that the attacks involve a file format that was not used for previous attacks. The researchers had to dig through the file format, and detection routines had to be carefully tested in order to avoid false positives.
