Since .7z files are not scanned by most places can viruses live inside them? (i.e., Google does not scan .7z, so when I send my code to Gmail for storage, I wrap it in .7z, otherwise, if I just .Zip it, Gmail will kick it back with a message along the lines that it is illegal to store .dlls in an email or along those lines. Sorry Dustbin if you don't know what I'm talking about--you're not a programmer after all--but I trust the rest of you do).

I'm not talking about encrypted compressed files either.

Viruses *live* in executables, not data files. Yes, executables can be
stored in archive files and many if not all scanners can (and do) scan
within archive files.

Ray, you should become a politicain. You really don't know what you are
talking about most of the time, and yet you convince yourself that you do.
That would make you a good candidate.
You'd fit right in. :)

Of course, but a seven bit system may require that you encode your
binary into a seven bit representation so that it will pass through
uncorrupted.

I wrote viruses. It's you who still hasn't grasped how they work. Nice

Depending on the dll.. perhaps. Some .dlls aren't really .dlls.
Extensions aren't all that helpful.

Indeed, in fact they can be very misleading.

Do you agree with this Dustin?.........

"Virus writers aren't necessarily exceptionally intelligent. This is not a
collective slam on their brainpower, but more to suggest that it doesn't take
elite technical skills to write damaging viruses — which is scary. "Virus
writing is not rocket science, and it doesn't take any special elite skill to
be able to write a self-replicating program," she says. Essentially, virus
writers produce self-replicating code that includes a damaging payload."

Not really sure what it has to do with the conversation between Ray and
myself.

Or, in other words, I speak about viruses/malware from experience gained
on both sides of the fence. He doesn't. It doesn't take much technical
skill on it's own to write a very simple virus that doesn't do anything
and makes absolutely no effort to hide itself. The payload section can
be simple or very complicated, just like any other program.

It's overly generalizing to categorize all viruses in the same manner as
this author has. An overwriter takes little skill. A prepender takes.. a
little more skill. When your virus starts actually protecting itself and
doing other tricks tho, it's not "simple" anymore.

Either way, Ray can't wrap his mind around how Irok works and is able to
cross infect PE NE and standard MZ based executables. [g]

So what exactly does that say for Ray's intelligence Bear? HAHAHA.

You're right Bear. That's why I try and keep my real self out of Usenet as much as possible. By contrast, Dustin uses his real name and even has lawsuits pending from his online activities. The mark of a pretender and drama queen. He gets off from anonymous strangers praising or cursing him.

I have a bit of background information on how that hack was done. :)

He took full advantage of some semi published vulnerabilities in a
series of web servers and windows workstations. I wouldn't say he can do
it better, as he managed to get caught doing it. Seems he didn't delete
ALL of the log files while he was roaming around.

You make it sound like our military/nasa have super computers so
different than what you or I use day to day. In some areas, they do; but
newsflash! everything's all fucking PC clones now a days. I kid you not.

Running combinations of windows XP to various flavors of linux.

Hacking is hacking, doesn't much matter how you do it. Dumpster diving,
fishing for passwords, or good old fashioned social engineering.

I sense a little jealousy with you JaX regarding my superior skill
compared to yours; that's two people you've tried to google that should!
(but aren't) better than me at this... LOL.

Asbergers is also something i'm familiar with... It's not a complete
disability; He's not slow or mentally disabled in the ways you might
think.

> You're old school.... he's one of the new generation of truly leet

if I told you his hacks involved using software he didn't author to
expliot known vulnerabilities that our government didn't patch...
(that's how this went down), do you still think he's a truly l33t
hacker? [g]

Background information makes the difference, eh, simpleton? [g]

I don't by any means claim to be the greatest hacker, but I'm not a
chump. You'll be able to find better/same skill as me, but you won't
ever be able to say I'm some half ass wannabe script kiddy like Assange
