Hands-on testing of the new Linux virus (NewsForge)
[Posted April 18, 2006 by ris]
NewsForge tests
a cross-platform virus. "Our tests shows the code's viral nature
is sometimes -- but not always -- effective on both platforms, depending on
the kernel being used. Of course, it's impossible for us to test every
version of the kernel out there, but thus far, it looks like those prior to
version 2.6.16 are susceptible, and at least some of those after that
release are not. Here's how we tested at NewsForge."
