So I spent some time last week watching this talk, and a few of the other Hack.lu talks. A large part of this talk is about a historical walkthrough of both public work on the subject, and public examples of various worms which operated as semi-parasitic patching cycles. It left me with a lot of questions though: - In the future, will all worms patch hosts as they move through, as a form of NOBUS? - Are there lots more worms we don't know about? What percentage of worms DO we know about? - Will Automated Exploit Generation (and Mutation) ever get good enough to send downstream to your worms? Most conferences have their entire body of talks online, and most of those talks that I watch (which is a lot of them since I need a hobby) have like maybe 30 views (which is a damn shame). Everyone seems to be looking for the "big bug" or star researcher, but I think a wider view of the field is both difficult to get and necessary for any kind of predictive research. Anyways, as we pick talks for INFILTRATE <http://infiltratecon.org/cfp/>this year, part of the thing I always have in the back of my mind is "will this hopefully raise more questions for the audience than it answers?" because INFILTRATE is a body of researchers, and they always want to leave hungry. -dave
