Title: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Rootkit For Spyware? Hide your adware from

It depends on which kit they based it on. My guess is these guys weren’t good enough to do the coding themselves so they stole someone else’s code. Of course I can’ t think of any rootkits under any kind of license so I guess it isn’t really stealing. Maybe the kits’ authors should track these bozo’s down and ask for some compensation. They are probably good enough to find them.   James Cupps Information Security Officer -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Darren Reed Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 5:25 AM To: Matt Cc: GuidoZ; Will Image; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Rootkit For Spyware?
