This rootkit could be a good thing

The rootkit is so poorly written it will hide any file that begin with $sys$ in the filename.

So far it's being used to defeat the anti-cheating technology on World of Warcraft. The Warden software can't see the hidden processes, either!

To what other uses could this be put?

Well, you could hide your pr0n directory, or your mp3 server, at work.

Any other ideas?
