North Korean Antivirus Software Uses Decade Old Pirated Scan Engine (betanews.com)

Posted by msmash on from the closer-look dept.

With a name like 'SiliVaccine' you could be forgiven it's something your doctor would give you if you were worried about turning into a clown. But in fact this is North Korea's home grown antivirus product. From a report: Check Point Software has obtained and analyzed a rare copy of the software and discovered key components of its source code to be identical to a 10-year old copy of Trend Micro's AV software. Analysis has also uncovered that SiliVaccine is designed to allow a specific malware signature to pass undetected to users, and an update patch for the software contained JAKU malware, which has been used to target and track specific individuals in South Korea and Japan. Check Point believes this could have been used to target journalists who write about North Korean affairs.

    Socialism is Common Ideal of Mankind

    The future of mankind is socialism.

    The popular masses have long desired an independent new society in which all of them live well on an equal footing free from exploitation, oppression, domination and subordination.

    Socialism makes it possible to realize such an ideal and capitalism tramples it down.

    Socialism provides genuine freedom and equality for all people.

    In the capitalist society complete equality cannot be provided as it is based on individualism and divided into hostile classes.

    Socialism is the just cause of realizing the requirements of the popular masses for independence and their ideal and it is the law of human history to advance toward socialism, which no one can hold in check.

    Transition from capitalism to socialism is a law-governed process of the development of human society.

    Socialism is an inevitable phase in the development of history and it is a rule, but it does not come true of itself.

    Socialism advances amid a fierce struggle against all hues of counter-revolutionary forces including the imperialists.

      I lean left enough that I've been called socialist, but this is nonsense.

      The popular masses have long desired an independent new society in which all of them live well on an equal footing free from exploitation, oppression, domination and subordination.

      That you call people 'the masses' gives a pretty clear insight into how you view people; that there's a line and that you're on one side and 'they' are on another.
      The 'masses' are people. Some want change, others really don't. Most want to be safe and well fed, free, as you say from exploitation and oppression but while some may certainly wish for equality for all, others are just as keen on being above other people.

      Socialism makes it possible to realize such an ideal and capitalism tramples it down.

      Like so many things, the poison is in the dose. Both are toxic in extremum; both have strengths and benefits as well as weaknesses.

      Socialism provides genuine freedom and equality for all people.

      The same kind of simplisitc and idealistic definitions can be used to justify capitalism. It's hollow rhetoric and little different to any other religion. It's an article of faith that denies anything that contradicts its axioms.

      In the capitalist society complete equality cannot be provided as it is based on individualism

      Complete equality cannot be provided, period. It's a direction, not a destination. Confusing the two leads to some truly horrible consequences.

      and it is the law of human history to advance toward socialism

      It is equally true that it is a law of human history to advance towards capitalism. Maintaining a balance and tension between the two is a reflection of the balance between co-operation and competition that is inherent to all social species. Thinking that one is greater or better than the other, overall, is like declaring that your right side is better than your left.

      Transition from capitalism to socialism is a law-governed process of the development of human society.

      'Law' is a social construct. It can be good or bad, oppressive or the expressed will of the people. All you are saying is that it's organised. Their have been _genocides_ that were law-governed. This is a hollow piece of rhetoric devoid of any meaning while trying to appear to be a claim of moral superiority. If you belive this, I pity you. If you are parroting this, then you're a useful fool.

      Socialism is an inevitable phase in the development of history and it is a rule, but it does not come true of itself.

      All true of capitalism. This is like a horoscope. Statements that appear to be meaningful but which are so vague and broadly defined that they are trivially obvious.

      Socialism advances amid a fierce struggle against all hues of counter-revolutionary forces including the imperialists.

      Power accumulates until the inequality exceeds the tolerance of those oppressed. Imperialism is sometimes opposed by socialism, sometimes by capitalism (look at the beginnings of the French Revolution, where it was the rising merchant class that began to protest the power of the aristocracy, allied with the workers against a common 'foe'). Sadly, each revolution simply transfers power from one group to another. The initial success of the revolution is in the relaxation and reversal of the accumulation of power, but rather than recognising that, a new group steps in to try to accumulate power to themselves. Socialists will claim it's for 'everyone' but if you really want to oppose centralised power, you need to find some way to make anarchism scale and stable - I'd kind of hoped that ubiquitous communication tech might make that possible, but it won't in my generation. Otherwise the best you can hope for is a kind of cyclic oscillation between accumulation and relaxation. Or revolution. I'll

      Can't prove you've done anything of any worth?

      No, because we have different meanings of 'worth'. You've ignored what I wrote because it doesn't suit your world view. You can't argue with it, discuss it or reason with it, so you just ignore it and attack. You have a very subjective and distorted view of success and worth, and try to force people to play by those definitions.

      No. My list of achievements is trivial for most adults. That you lack in so many areas is something you refuse to even answer, let alone acknowledge. Why should I bother answering or acknowledging your claims when you will not, or cannot reciprocate.

      You're an asshole

      Says the stalker who makes up names, chants silly songs, makes utterly grotesque statements about gender and sexuality ...

      See, you really do conflate criticism with an attack. Any criticism, no matter how it is presented, gets a response like this.

      his BETTER

      Not even when you capitalise it.

      You put me down

      I criticised your behaviour. That you can't distinguish between the two is your problem.

      better show you've done more

      No.

      It's irrelevant. Either my statements, here, have meaning, or they don't. Whether I wrote shareware in the 90s has no bearing on this discussion.

      I've seen people who have taken you at your word and shared their achievements. What you can't deal with you ignore, everything you use to attack and belittle. It's a toxic behaviour.

      And you still have no idea who I am. I've never replied to you while signed in and you lack the wherewithal to look at clues in language and grammar. I've signed anon. posts in the past because you complained and seem unable to distinguish people based on tone, but you simply used that as something to try to insult me about.

      I'm AC because of your behaviour, as are other posters who want to engage you. You can hurl whatever insults you like, all they reveal are your own fears and flaws.

      Take this as an example;

      DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

      I've made no grand claims. I've not boasted of anything except achievements that are true of most healthy adults, and then described it as such.

      On the other hand, you're the one who keeps trying to bring up the last time you had anything like success - for a program over a decade old that was, at best, shareware.

      Delusions of grandeur, indeed.
