>From: Rick Moen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >OTOH, I love Linux malware. Fascinating stuff. The ELF-infector class are pretty pitiful, but tend to be implemented as payloads on other attacks, e.g., as a backup means of keeping a UDP-based backdoor open after the bad guy has entered through other means entirely. Most of the slightly, briefly successful malware were "worms" that essentially were canned attacks against obsolete versions of buggy network daemons. My rundown:
http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/index.php?page=virus#virus5 --- Hey Rick, that is very cool stuff. I'm reading through all of those links on that page right now... I do have to ask/mention, is there even Linux anti-virus software to detect the vulnerabilities on that page, for example? (Not looking for a literal answer- just making a point here.) Running clamav or something meant for detecting windows viruses is not going to protect you against Linux vulnerabilities. I think that is where a lot of the 'anti-virus for Linux' confusion is...
