Online Services Let Virus Writers Check Their Work
An anonymous reader writes "Former Washington Post Security Fix blogger Brian Krebs has launched a new blog at krebsonsecurity.com, and his first story highlights a pair of underground antivirus scanning services that cater to virus writers. Scanning services like virustotal.com scan submitted files against dozens of antivirus products, and share the results with each of the vendors so that all benefit from learning about threats they don't yet detect. But there are number of budding online services that allow customers to pay per scan, and promise that the results will never get reported back to the antivirus companies. One service even tests how well web site 'exploit packs' are detected, while others promise additional layers of protection. 'The service claims that it will soon be rolling out advanced features, such as testing malware against anti-spyware and firewall programs, as well as a test to see whether the malware functions in a virtual machine.'"
I came in here to find my karma is bad. I don't know how, or what it even means, but... Fuck this website, fuck karma, and fuck 2010.

I'm a really funny guy, too. Just check this shit out, which I totally wrote myself:
If you are stimulated by new ideas and if you can think for yourself rather than simply accept what David Gerard dishes out, I think you will find this letter of interest. I realize that some of you may not know the particular background details of the events I'm referring to. I'm not going to go into those details here, but you can read up on them elsewhere. His strictures are a conduit that funnels uncompromising thoughts into the heads of crafty varmints. We can therefore extrapolate that I fully intend to denounce those who claim that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not. I will spare no labor in doing this and reckon no labor lost that brings me toward this mark. Even so, David wants to commit acts of immorality, dishonesty, and treason. Why he wants that, I don't know, but that's what he wants.
David surely believes that he acts in the name of equality and social justice. Unfortunately for him, that's all in his imagination. David needs to get out of that fictional world and get back to reality, where people can see that what really irks me is that he has presented us with a Hobson's choice. Either we let him needle and wheedle moonstruck voluptuaries into his terrorist organization or he'll cast dissent as treason and criticism as espionage. A small child really couldn't understand that he justifies his plans to spatter my reputation as "preemptive self-defense". But any adult can easily grasp that if you can go more than a minute without hearing him talk about scapegoatism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial.
And for those reprehensible backstabbers who want to hide behind the argument that David's allies are not obtrusive propagandists but rather unbridled sandbaggers, my question is simply this: What's the difference? All David really wants is to hang onto the perks he's getting from the system. That's all he really cares about.
David hates us with a hatred so steady and deadly that it consumes in him all sense of time and place. There's really no other conclusion you can reach. I guess that my take on this is that every time he gets caught trying to destroy the natural beauty of our parks and forests, he promises he'll never do so again. Subsequently, his subordinates always jump in and explain that he really shouldn't be blamed even if he does because, as they aver, superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles.
David frequently avers his support of democracy and his love of freedom. But one need only look at what David is doing—as opposed to what he is saying—to understand his true aims. To say merely that he is capable of a large array of negative feelings is a vast understatement. His fusillades manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: institutionalize fetishism through systematic violence, distorted religion, and dubious science. Phase two: blitz media outlets with faxes and newsletters that highlight the good points of his muddleheaded jeremiads. The end.
