Researchers Seek Help In Solving DuQu Mystery Language

An anonymous reader writes "DuQu, the malicious code that followed in the wake of the infamous Stuxnet code, has been analyzed nearly as much as its predecessor. But one part of the code remains a mystery, and researchers are asking programmers for help in solving it. The mystery concerns an essential component of the malware that communicates with command-and-control servers and has the ability to download additional payload modules and execute them on infected machines."

Mystery Code

The mystery code isn't really much of a mystery- it's just how Duqu communicates with the sith lord.

It's either:

[blueforce]

Objective-Brainfuck or Brainfuck with Classes

Any sucker can tell it was written in Linda.

Can't be perl. It's far too readable, for a start.

fine, you've made your point

but the official coder manual officially classifies neckbeards as

young neckbeard, adult neckbeard, elder neckbeard, and ancient neckbeard

with Hit Points 100, 300, 700, and 1500, respectively

the ancient variety is allowed to cast Befuddlement at will with a savings throw adjustment of -6 on your character's intelligence rating. i see you tried to cast that spell in your past post

but i have no idea what this "advanced" neckbeard is you refer too. i don't think such a neckbeard classification exists... oh shoot, did you just Befuddle me?

fine, i'll wait out the next 3 turns

*sigh*

DHS, conspiracy theories aside, is likely conducting their own investigation into DuQu

No need for that unless they snuffed the original developer before securing the relevant docs.~

Hey, everyone makes mistakes. That drone was supposed to have been loaded with tranquilizer darts, not Hellfires. Boy, there were some red faces in the office when we found out what happened.
