  1. Who and how? on Looking At The New Linux Trojan · · Score: 1
    They're a few thing that I just don't get about that trojan...
    1. Who's gonna send me an infected binary?
    2. Why would I run it?
    3. Why would I trust that guy enough to run that binary... as ROOT?

    Even if I finally would run that damned binary, I would run in on my workstation in my office behind my firewall, not on my webserver on the internet...
    Okay I would then have infected binaries that could be copied to my webserver and been run again. I honestly don't seen how that trojan could become more threatening to the internet than Code red and it's 80 hits a day on my machine at home (cable)...
    And anyhow what could be more than weird to all a sudden get hunderds of emails claiming:

    Hey! run me i'm a ELF binary that you can finally run on your machine...
    Not like those 'could you have a look at this please' infected win32 binaries from your friends using Outlook!!!
