what country will spawn of the next 'thought i knew' computer 'cracker'

autonomous? no user interaction? exploit code readily available? sounds like another soon to be dismantled bot-net.

If I lacked the ethical value in which i, today, hold dear (over five years ago is another story [statute of limitation for computer felony eq 5 years]) i might be programming the next self progating worm right now.. exept my payload wouldn't be an irc remote-controlled bot-net.. it would be a variant of the bit-torrent system where all infected machines would activly communicate with each other to achieve max efficiency, understand how to determine ip <-> latitude/longitude, and have a pre-programmed range of IP's to DDoS off the iNet. a.k.a. iran/north korea/syria/terror sympathyzing web sites..

what an ethical payload... btw.. self propagating worms are not ethical, they mangle valuable systems and cause monitary damage.. although it is debatable if you single handidly DDoS'ed off the axis of evil?

p.s. I in no way condone exploiting remote systems unless I have prior written concent, or i own the system, or i know it will never come back to me. A.K.A. dont be that guy on the front page..
