You're missing the point, as i've tried to outline. This is an active project, and written code for such an outbreak is already within the hands of *underground hacker communities*. If you look at my background posts, as posted earlier on the threat, you'll see the lead up.
Perhaps, and perhaps you danced about mine and missed them as well. 9 of 10 websites use off the freeshelf code, and most used dated code that was never written with a mind towards secure. So if folks are going to use tools in existence rather then create their own hammers and drills they should go for other then perhaps the first click in a google search and find something that was coded with security in mind, rather then the first link that likely pops up in a google search. If the code is good that they incorporate into their designs, then it kinda devalues the current tools that nasty boys <and grils> are using, does it not? If their tools reply upon poorly written code, then replacing it with far better code makes their efforts kinda nill, yes? Thanks, Ron DuFresne
