Abstract

The availability of source code for both exploits and malicious code is higher than it has ever been in the history of computing. More important, the source codes for highly successful, high- profile malicious tools are now available. Several years ago it was almost impossible to obtain the source for these worms and exploits, forcing actors to rely on minor changes to binaries to generate new variants of a family. With the source code, attackers can easily edit code, compile new “undetected” variants, and copy and paste code from multiple creations to create new codes.
