Thoughts on companion worms

I wrote a paper almost a year ago now and since it has been
reviewed by a lot of skilled people including, but not limited
to, anti virus researchers, its time to make it public.

Its about a special kind of worm and vulnerabilities
which are commonly under-hyped like CVE-2008-2383 which
most people would probably only recognize as local, if at all.

You can find the paper here.

Enjoy reading it, if you feel that X-mess is coming :)
This is most likely the last posting for this year, so
I wish you merry X-mas and happy new year. You can find me
at the 26C3 in Berlin this year, if everything goes straight.
