From vnunet.com: “Following on from this week’s discovery of the Jac Linux virus, an open source hacker from the University of Linz, Austria, has released a definitive guide to writing Linux viruses … Alexander Bartolich released ‘the Linux virus writing howto’ …
Bartolich said that ‘an astonishing number of people think that viruses require secret black magic.’
This may not be entirely the case, but ‘writing a program that inserts code into another program file is one thing. Writing that program so that it can be inserted itself is a very different art.’ ”
