\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A guarantee? You want a guarantee?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Misha frowned at the screen. His negotiations with kru5h3r via IRC had been going well, till now. Kru5h3r wanted a full-function rootkit that he could distribute to build a botnet. He was willing to pay, but he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want his investment to go up in smoke if his rootkit signature found its way into popular intrusion detection software.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right… we offer them insurance!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Misha grinned. Slava looked at him in disbelief. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of course, they pay for the custom rootkit, but for a little bit extra every month, we will give them protection from the signature databases. If their kit is spotted and tagged, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give them another one that does the same thing, but doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t match the known signature. They pay us a subscription fee through Aurum, so it all stays nice and anonymous.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
