Schneier on Attack Trends: More Complex Worms

Posted by timothy on from the malice-on-the-loose dept.

Gary W. Longsine writes "Bruce Schneier has posted an interesting entry on expected attack trends to his blog. Of particular interest is the increasing sophistication of automated worm-based attacks. He cites the developing W32.spybot.KEG worm -- once inside a network it scans for several vulnerabilities and reports its findings via IRC. Trend Micro also has information on a scanning-capable version of this worm, which they call: WORM_SPYBOT.ID"

    You wouldn't know it by reading slashdot, but The Boston Herald got ahold of John F. Kerry's Yale grades. Turns out that "Gentleman C" George Bush (1 D) is a better scholar than "Genius" John Kerry (5 Ds). Maybe you should ask for a refund on your fancy european boarding schools John!

    Not only that, but GWB did better on the military aptitude tests as well.

    Of course, GWB also had better grades than Al Gore (the guy who flunked out of divinity school and law school). One wonders whether George is smarter than people give him credit for, or Democrats are just dumber than they think they are.

    In related news, John Kerry looked much gayer than President George Walker Bush while in college.

    Seriously, that is a horrible picture. I thought my picture was bad, but Jesus Fucking Christ.
