Sasser coded by 18-year-old german student
'Sasser' coded by 18-year-old german student
It's not like Sasser used any NEW Windows 2000/XP exploits and it still had a nice population this week since you could find it on public top10 lists.
Just by reading the 'features' on some tech news sites I could basically tell that it was written by a student... *sigh* If I had the time to not only THINK about ways to exploit security holes but to REALIZE my own little malicious code as well I would take that time and double my yearly income just by coding on a legal basis. In the end that's better than ending up arrested as well :)
