There’s [not](http://www.fbcinc.com/conference2005/bin/win_incident.ppt) [much](http://www.fbcinc.com/conference2005/bin/threat_demo.ppt) out there on it other than mention of a tool called SandStorm in a [recent press release](http://www.state.gov/m/ds/rls/56504.htm) from State’s [Bureau of Diplomatic Security](http://www.diplomaticsecurity.state.gov/). According to the site, “SandStorm simultaneously collects, correlates, and analyzes data on multiple computer systems and departs, leaving no trace of its activities. The White House is championing this cyber tool and the Department of Homeland Security has selected it as a cornerstone application for a cyber toolkit being made available to all Federal agencies.” Sounds scary to me, but may be a step in the right direction.”_

i love how this shit pops up …

its a virus , its a secretary , its an fbi agent AND its a janitor … ALL IN ONE …

as far as i know its impossible for a program to leave absolutly no trace of itself … theres always that last file that CANT DELEAT ITSELF … unless it edits another file w/ instructions to deleat inself … and in that case theres still evidence of it

plus that whole thing about how anything thats deleated is actualy still information on the disk … it just doesnt have a filename anymore …
