~From Heise News (IT Magazine) 2006-oct-09 http://www.heise-security.co.uk/news/79212 ~From Deutscher Bundestag (sorry PDF in german only) http://dip.bundestag.de/btd/16/039/1603973.pdf Some people think it might be a programme like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_(software) others think it might be something totally new. At least one of our polititians gave us the clue about the programme attacking the router. Some groups within the pirates party started analyzing possible scenarious and how to dectect the vermin or how to even profit from it. It is said (polititians) that every packet transmitted is also send to another place, not by the DSLAM but by the troyan because it has to work in foraign countries too. So to be invisible it has to double your DSL-bandwidth. People are looking for the api to switch bandwidth, hacking the software of the motorola and broadcom chips. The Deutscher Bundestag says they dont know at this moment wether it is legal or not. http://www.bundestag.de/aktuell/hib/2007/2007_004/04.html There have been at least to orders by judges to use the troyan. It is rumored that it might be easier to let a private company do the development and let them sell it ot spammers and phishers to earn the money for develloping the software. It is rumored that less than 1 of 100 troyans will come from the gouvernement and they will deny it. Colateral dammage will be blamed on spammers.
