"skiddie, n00b, moderate, skilled" classified attacks, with probable origins. again, not really insightful, but certainly more informative than your typical "threat intelligence service" *grin* in the future, crypters will not just obfuscate the mechanics (for A/V avoidance), they'll distort the semantics of your attack technique (for attribution denial). and of course, what none of these systems tell you is there inherent limits and severe constraints affecting utility. there have been some good presentations on "signal jamming machine learning", but i'll have to dig them up later unless someone beats me to it :) best regards, CoderMarkovMan
