news.cnet.com — Malware developers are going open source in an effort to make their malicious software more useful to fraudsters. By giving criminal coders free access to malware that steals financial and personal details, the malicious software developers are hoping to expand the capabilities of old Trojans.

Software would not be unsafe if there werent any people there to exploit it in the first place...but that's not the point.There are good hackers that exploit systems so they get patched, but then, like juggernut said...you have your spammers, adware, pyramid scheme operators, and just underground hackers which main purpose is just to destroy, for the hell of it...

was the entire thing coded in assembly? I don't know much about programming above asm, but that seems pretty impressive to me.

The s**t some people do online is f**king crazy. I always thought all those retarded "omfgz, i am 19 yo double D girl with shaved puss-e looking for sex wit u tonite" on craigslist were just bulls**t to get you on some mailing list or something, but it's all part of people trying to get you to sign up for pay per install malware. When they pwn you, they get paid. There are entire forums of people trying to do this s**t. Some people actually make a living and the only thing they do is try to screw dumb people over.<a class="user" href="http://www.moneymakerdiscussion.com/forum/e-whoring-cash/10804-diary-my-journey-into-e-whoring.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.moneymakerdiscussion.com/forum/e-whorin ...</a> or anything on those forums will make you go "WTF."

Couldn't tell you for sure, but undoubtedly. It was either assembly or Microsoft's Basic (LOL).68k was incredibly easy to program on the Amiga. 16 data and 16 address registers. A psuedo OO multitasking OS designed from scratch free from legacy BS. You only need to know one memory address and thus most programs started with move.l 4,a6 which have you the address of the exec.library from which everything else was accessible.For example an assembly language program to open and display a Window was as simple as:move.l 4,a6 ; get base of exec.libarylea IntutitionLibrary,a0 ; 'intuition.library' by namemoveq.l #0,d0 ; any versionCALL OpenLibrary ; Macro equating to jsr OpenLibraryVectorOffset(a6)move.l d0,a6 ; move default return register to default library pointer addresslea NewWindowsStruct,a0 ; pointer to structure/object for a new Window (position, size, etc)CALL OpenWindow ; Create and display a managed window..............The windows would have a full window manager meaning you didn't have to catch WM_paint message and manually redraw/manage windows - unlike the amateur Windows of Microsoft that ironically lacked a window manager. Full blown 32bit multitasking GUI applications were measured in KB rather than MB. You want to know why your computer need GB's of RAM? Ask Microsoft... Amateur buffoon. (Smart now, but building upon layers of incompetence). Best thing Bill did was quit programming! /end reminiscent rant.

That's a white hat environment, slightly different, no "notional" execution there
