The virus doesn't have ordsprog

The virus doesn't have any practical application -- it's classic proof-of-concept code, written to show that it is possible to create a cross-platform virus. However, our experience shows that once proof-of-concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code, and adapt it for their own use.

We have read articles where anti-virus executives say that MARA has published virus source code. We believe that this may be libel. It is certainly not true: A couple of MARA members contributed to an article on the Dust virus (the first Pocket PC Trojan) last year that also had a separate, Part III written by a virus writer, in which he lists some proof-of-concept code. However, contrary to some reports, this was never published by MARA.

If we joined, we couldn't share any identifying information about MARA members, so if we found someone in the group publishing virus source code, or co-authoring articles with known virus writers, we couldn't divulge that information.

A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. Writing a cross-platform worm is difficult because it limits you to functions that are available on both operating systems. You have to also code the virus in assembly to make it work without relying on any OS-specific function.

The last time we had such advance warning was with the Michelangelo virus [in 1992], but back then people were running around wondering what to do. This time I've been impressed by the number of our clients taking a proactive approach to the problem. It was almost a proof of concept virus, a 'Let's see what happens if you give people all the time in world to prepare' attack.

With respect to the students involved, the paper as presented is rather weak. The 'real' virus, they claim to demonstrate in the paper, is not a virus, just a self-replicating piece of SQL code.

Code Red means there's a framework for a worm out there right now that has proven its effectiveness to spread. All [virus writers] need is a new vulnerability.

Since we used a virus to deliver the gene, there is always concern that virus doesn't transfer to the babies. We were able to show that the virus was not passed onto the pups.

There's always code reuse in development, which is a good thing. No one writes an entire application from scratch. But if you're using someone else's code, you're relying on the security of that code. Developers need to apply the same level of security testing to those shared pieces as they do to their own code.

Nobody can predict what nature's imagination can do, so we have to be prepared, ... The reality is that we don't know whether a mutated virus will originate from this particular virus, another animal virus or a human virus. This doesn't change the need for our advance planning and preparation in order to minimize the impact.

Now computer companies will have a nice precedent. They just have to wait for the researcher to publish his findings -- [a] detailed technical article with maybe some code or proof of concept -- and then they will sue. And they will win.

Critical Oracle vulnerabilities are being discovered and disclosed at an increasing rate, and exploit tools and proof-of-concept code are appearing more regularly on the Internet.
