>News: Nachi is spreading, an anti-Blaster worm that patches up the vulnerability after getting in through the same hole and cleaning up after MSBlast.

The main question right now is if it preys on any other known windows vulnerability in the background, and the issue being that it’s still getting in — and restarts your computer as soon as it’s downloaded and installed the patch.

** Faction Theory **

So here’s my theory – cyberspace has always had the “bad guys” the |-|4X0Rz. Well, now is the time for the vigilantes to emerge. They reverse engineer the virus to undo what it’s done and protect against it for the future. The only issue being that someone could get ahold of it and modify it further… but since it’s only hitting unpatched, vulnerable computers… they’re still better off getting the “fixing virus” instead of the “self-populating internet stomping virus” although this new one is still slowing systems by scanning random IPs at the indicated port(s).

I think the factions have started to appear, the black and the white, the good and the bad, the angels of darkness and light. There shall be a revolution, with people’s parents and the dumb… protected by these cyberspace guardians.

Eh… maybe fiction, but it sounds cool — now just to go underground with the Scrubs from Demolition Man. Oh, BTW — did I mention that Demolition Man is one of the greatest movies ever? I have this thing with the future:

Back to the Future

Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey

Demolition Man

T2/T3

All of those are really good in showing what the future may be like… I’m all for that, and intrigued by any details they want to give.
