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."

    DHS, conspiracy theories aside, is likely conducting their own investigation into DuQu, the details of which are unlikely to be shared with the general public. TFA is about Kaspersky Labs, an independently owned security firm, asking for help from the general public.
