There's a very interesting article detailing the theory that the nimda virus was developed by someone using linux here. Basically, it says that the way the binary was laid out hints at a certain set of tools common on linux.

Hmm...Am I the only one who finds it ironic that both the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and kiddie porn are mentioned in the same post?
While your post is informative, your comment.. by Genjurosan · 2002-09-18 04:17 · Score: 0, Offtopic

about "US" sysadmins is uncalled for. Perhaps if the HR department of the educational institution wasn't so gullible, they wouldn't have hired incompetent sysadmins. Your dislike for anything "US" shows by your broad statement. Does your use of the word "they" encompass 2 maybe 3 sysadmins? I'm sure that "they" represent .0000000000000001% of all sysadmins that hold US citizenship.

Yes my post is flame bait, sorry.. but I don't think the last post deserves a 5, perhaps a 3-4 since sys-admin skill has NOTHING to do with citizenship. Perhaps making broad uneducated comments about the people of Morocco will get my post modded up.

You're probably posting too often -- I didn't get moderator points until I went on vacation for two weeks. Since then I've never got them when I've been posting regularily ...
