That, or they're learning (rootkit coding training via Blackhat), or they're simply purchasing it (there are folks who do custom rootkit coding for hire). > Of course I can' t think of any rootkits under any > kind of license so I > guess it isn't really stealing.

I don't see a correlation between coding and tracking someone down. Also, as stated, there are some who are already writing rootkits for pay. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
