Hi Frank,

Just a thought...

Why are we waiting for the source code?

When people suspect a virus, do they look for the source code of the virus? No.
You won't find that anywhere. Instead, they look at the binary and disassemble
it because it is the code ifself. You only need to look at the binary of
ElChinto and disassemble it.

In any industry, you don't have to look for the paper design of the product to
determine if one product is a copy of another. When BMW thinks that Mercedes has
copied their car engine technology, all they do is disassemble a Mercedes
engine. They don't need to see the CAD design from Mercedes.

It is already disturbing to see that the Crafty code has been copied. But to see
that the Crafty bug is copied too, I get the impression that the copier is
"stupid".

Regards...
