I wouldn't dare run this on this Linux machine, nor especially on my
Windows machine. (It would be interesting to see what it would make
of SuSE, but I don't think I'm going to find out!)
Check this code snippet from the page's embedded script
and its sophisticated method for finding infected files:
I never realized that random number generators were
so useful!
if(parseInt(Math.random() * 100) == 5)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
{
if(parseInt(Math.random() * 10) <= 5)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
{
meminfectedcount += 1;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
};
objinfectedcount += 1;
infected.innerHTML = '<img
src="images/shieldred.gif"
align="absmiddle"
width="17" height="19"> '
+ objinfectedcount
+ ' items detected, '
+ meminfectedcount
+ ' issues found';
button.style.visibility = 'visible';
};
if(parseInt(Math.random() * 100) == 5)
{
if(parseInt(Math.random() * 10) <= 5)
{
meminfectedcount1 += 1;
};
objinfectedcount1 += 1;
infected1.innerHTML =
'<img src="images/shieldred.gif"
align="absmiddle" width="17" height="19"> '
+ objinfectedcount1
+ ' items detected, '
+ meminfectedcount1
+ ' issues found';
button1.style.visibility = 'visible';
};

It's very true.
I spent a year in Baghdad in that exact position.
