LUA!

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunityinc com>]

Everyone basically ignores LUA <http://www.lua.org/about.html> as much
as possible - not as useful for large projects as Python or Ruby, not as
fast as C. But eventually every big C project wants a scripting
language, and they look around at licensing and features and choose LUA.

Wireshark is the obvious example, but LUA is small enough that it's a
natural fit for trojans as well - especially trojans that are embedded
into the memory space of something else (Outlook or your kernel, for
example).

I notice that as of today D2 includes a LUA trojan, and that
WhitePhosphorus includes an exploit for the Wireshark LUA problem. Both
of which are fun to test!
