If you ask me, you sound like bragging on something you wrote.

Either that, or you're clueless to what you are saying.

Just because my younger brother won't understand 5 lines of code I wrote
doesn't make my 5 liner smart...
Applying the analogy here, just because they're possibly clueless to how OS
internals work doesn't mean the virus is doing anything particularly smart.

Or, set up well to spread and then hide, and doing so with even its phone
home, wich is normal nowdays, for example consider an ircd, it uses
PING/PONG, what if you change the rfc, and use ascii characters,then do this
to the bot, remove USER mode completely only allow it for set modes/opers,
and then try take the thing down, if it is connected thru about 40 different
ips and does not rely on dynami dns...
it is not impossible, it is happening now, and, it is also visible,
however, these c7c centres are so advanced, Ids are just not getting enough
info...you cannot do a thing on the properly modified control centres, and,
i have seen that code, it is extremely modified version of ircd... it cannot
be used by a NOn operator, and uses a totally different rfc to phopne home
etc, thus making conventional methods used atm, useless... as they will
loook for the strings that they know, and always ids will perform some
string of commands, and, then slowly the operator sees the servers, and one
by one he blocks YOU out of his network.
This is a dog eat dog world, bot masters can be exceptionallt ingenious
when it comes to these things, and masking an exe nowdays, is not as simple
as some peoples SFX rar kits :)
So even kits nowdays, can be way more advanced than 2008/2009 even...
there has been a burst of tech, so there is also a burst in virus
numbers... but, smart c&c centres, you wont take down so easily, and they
will move before you can even decrypt theyre settings... wich is exactly why
stuxnet is non stoppable.. unless the owner shuuts it down, it wont  be
killed..

It already broke the "air wall" to get in. It can certainly do so to get
out.
