Virus HOWTO

[Anonymous Coward]

A much more interesting LDP story is the ongoing debate on the mailing list regarding the proposed virus writer's HOWTO.

Basically this boils down to the free speechers vs. those who feel it's inappropriate for the LDP and would be bad for PR.

I tend to the latter view: let it be published elsewhere, but it's too contentious for the LDP.

This is not the whole truth. There is no question of whether we will publish the document. The question is how it needs to be expanded in order to be a responsible document that helps people defend as much as it helps people potentially attack Linux systems. We are not into the censorship business.
