DNA matching for real diseases is at least more accurate than string matching for computer viruses. Sig-based AV scanning will always be behind on variants. If I can take a virus, change a line in it and infect 100 people without an AV product even winking, they things can be changed.
But maybe I am the only person that wants to be protected? We have made the public more scared of 12 year old script kiddies then real hackers working with organized crime family. Funny the way the world works. =) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 10:45 AM To: Frank Knobbe Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] (no subject) On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 10:33:50 CDT, Frank Knobbe said: > I know, my wife has type 2. They still call it diabetes. By that logic, we have "bagle", "agobot", "netsky", and "mydoom". No need for variant names, and no need for a name for an attack of pancreatic cancer that knocks out your insulin production, because that's just diabetes too. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
