I would suggest you are talking about different people. The malware analysts at any AV company probably dig through more malware
samples than you do on a
regular basis.
I would hope so, seeing as it's at the top of their job description. But you know who's probably not elbow-deep in malware these days? Mark Harris.
Underestimating your opponents is a fatal mistake either way. The best
malware analysts I know are well
aware of the skills of the authors. Likewise so are the authors I know
aware of the skills of the
analysts.
In fairness to Mark Harris, the malware submission that sparked his post 1) didn't run and 2) contained furry pr0n. Maybe he's not underestimating in this one case.
