It has the capability of connecting to an irc server, and the "owner" can then execute commands on the infected box. This includes appending files. The attacker could download a specific file, add the worm code to it, and re-upload it to the comprimised computer with little effort. What better file to hide it in than a c node file that will possibly be compiled and distributed to others? Just knowing this gives me reasonable doubt as to Rafael's participation in infecting users. Seeing how you read that bulletin yourself, how is it not possible that you still remain steadfast against Rafael? Peter
