A well written, and long, article. I had fun reading through it
 It seemed to glamorize the art of writing viruses though, and it made their creators sounds like digital-gods. Anyways: http://www.collisiondetection.net/mt/archives/000704.html |

A long time ago, i used to write in visual basic (college made me !)
i was writing a simple activeX controll for VB that allowed forms to upload and download files from otehr programs using the same activeX control. i put it on a VB programming website as an example / tutorial to whow otehr basic winsock use, and earn myself a few points. however, their was no securety or authentication on the porgram, so in the read me, i wrote a little warning... "When active, this control will listen on port XXXX and allow anone else who makes a conection to upload / download freely. their is no securety, running this on an un-firewalled machine is almost as bad as installing sub7, this code is given as a tutorial only, DONT use this code for anything directly, i am not rsponcible.. blah blah blah" unfortunatly, it seems google picked up the keyword "sub7" and i started getting instant messages from self proclaimed *hackers* when such people contact me, i tend to ask one question. can you program assembly ? if they answer yes... (and i believe them) i call them annoying ace holes. if they answer no, i call them stupid script kiddies. unfortunatly, any idiot can cause havvok, the "i love you" worm was written in visual basic. |

*Googles Sub7 but only finds reports from security firms.
The worst Visual Basic program I wrote and I suppose it was a virus of some type or description printed the number 7 and didnt stop, it gave a pentium 4 a hard time. Pretty silly mistake really. |
