Viruses and worms pose some of the most formidable threats in the modern computer security landscape. With some virus writers on the bleeding edge of technology, making use of 0-day exploits and innovative techniques to circumvent system security features. However, for every Blaster, there's a worm that repeatedly attempts to infect the same machine. From exploitable vulnerabilities in their code to incomprehensible goofs there's no shortage of evidence that a large proportion of virus writers aren't quite as capable as they would like others to think. This paper takes a look at the legacy of these slightly less than expert level virus writers, and examines the threat they continue to pose.
