Loosely coupled hybrid threat gobbledybloop nonsense spasm

Yeah, that turned out to be... nothing but an older lolol pseudo-worm with a new sploit and scanner loosely cooked into the package using a VB program. Waste of time in many senses.

But, it's a step in the [your adjective here] direction.

Tick... tick... tick...

Didn't you repeat yourself when you said 'VB' and 'Waste of time?'

I mean, seriously, sample proof of concept sploits - perl. But I guess it's difficult to install perl on a windows box. You have to, like, download things. And click on things. And not pay for stuff cuz it's free from either place you can get it from (that I know of.)

Ah well. At least it wasn't php. I hate when someone writes something in php and calls it from the shell. I'm like "ok seriously dude like, learn summat else. Please." Seriously, dude I know was trying to get me to debug this ircbot written in php. I seriously didn't get it - I kept trying to tell him to check the apache config.
