Do you really think that a person who knows forth and assembler and has great knowledge in the field of low-level wormproduction would be that stupid? I think not. As Frank Knobbe said, you just swallowed hook, line and CVS tag. :D
Hi Henrik,8086 asm and Forth knowledge, although less common these days, isn't necessarily an indicator of shining intelligence or insight. And as for your 'great knowledge' comment -- the sad reality is this: It really doesn't take a whole lot of skill to implement a Windows worm.
It's a bit presumptuous to say with any certainty the cvs tag was a plant -- people make dumb/costly mistakes. Personally, I could care less about whether or not the mydoom author is caught -- there are thousands of kids ready to take his/her spot.
