[techtalk] Question for the group

[Elaine Poulsen]

There was a virus "demo" created for linux called bliss or .bliss.
It would attach itselft to binaries and propagate much like win/dos
based viruses.
However the only damage it could do would be to files that it owned.
Unless it was part of a trojan and gained root perms it wouldn't be 
a big threat.
You could probably find more information about it if you searched at
datafellows.com
or maybe mcafee.
