Pierre Vandevenne to someone:
Hey, that's a great idea. Why didn't anyone think of it before!OS> I am well aware of CME-
CME is NOTHING like what the OP asked for... In fact, just like CVE, it is specifically, by design _NOT_ a naming convention...
There were earlier attempts. That one for example A New Virus Naming Convention At a CARO meeting in 1991, a committee was formed with the objective of reducing the confusion in virus naming. This committee consisted of Fridrik Skulason (Virus Bulletin's technical editor) Alan Solomon (S&S International) and Vesselin Bontchev (University of Hamburg). http://downloads.securityfocus.com/library/naming.txt
FWIW (and I know this is _fun_sec and malware naming is anything but fun...), that initiative continues and is, in its contemporary form represented thus: http://www.people.frisk-software.com/~bontchev/papers/naming.html That is the (updated) version of Vess' VB2005 paper and, for now, the official home of the CARO naming scheme.
