You are welcome to try! Please make sure you use some sort or open source or open source related data if you want to be successful. It also doesn't hurt if the app in question is interesting to a large chunk of readership (well, the mods at least). :)

Did you even read the article?! It's based on the fact the code does SPECIAL THINGS when it encounters specific information used in a nuclear plant. From the article: "It's looking for specific things in specific places in these PLC devices. And that would really mean that it's designed to look for a specific plant". I would consider that some decent evidence.

I do have mod points today, however I did not have any left prior to responding the first time. Modding people down for trollish comments is perfectly acceptable. Telling someone that their respectable and difficult job is "dubious" is really trollish. As for reason, I gave reason in my response. Evidence is not called for in this case; reason may suffice. If you do not believe that to be the case, give evidence yourself so I can see what kind you require to satisfy you.

Wait what? Since when is ethical hacking dubious?! If I had mod points, you would be modded as a troll. Also, there are very good reasons for ethical malware creation. These are the guys who do research for anti-virus and security firms, not released to the wild. Learning how to do it, so code will be available to STOP or prevent it. If Microsoft and other software companies don't have people at this conference, then they are losing a great opportunity to gain knowledge that can be used to prevent this stuff.
