That's not entirely true, although I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
I've tried a couple of times to create signatures for Javascript malware
(and asked for pointers on this list a couple of times), based on an
obfuscation pattern in a series of raw files. I have yet to find a way
to actually match on the actual raw file in those cases.
