From: rslade at sprint.ca (Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah) Subject: malware added in transit From: Paul <onestepto@...oo.com.au> Date sent: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 23:58:07 +1100 (EST) > Hi all, perhaps I'm way off-base but I've been under the impression that > malware can be added to clean transmissions as they pass through infected > nodes. Is this possible? Hmmmm. Interesting concept, but unlikely. (Maybe if you were clearer about the definition of a node?) I can't recall anything that actually did this. Happy99 and PrettyPark did something similar, but really just creating a followup to the original (innocent) message. It's unlikely you'd find something that would/could infect a router to perform this kind of action. Not impossible, but unlikely. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade@....bc.ca slade@...toria.tc.ca rslade@....soci.niu.edu Never mistake motion for action. - Ernest Hemingway http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev or http://sun.soci.niu.edu/~rslade
