I very carefully didn't say if it was a known virus or not. I'm sure that half the people on this list have, at one time or another, been working with an as-yet-unknown virus.
I am sure the other half of this list would forward an as-yet-unknown virus to the previously mentioned half that probably works for the AV\AS\IPS industries. ;-) I have done that on many occasions, meaning I spread unknown viruses willfully.. I guess... Good point V,..damn, that means I better turn myself in :-( -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
