This is a downright stupid criticism, malware can be interesting in itself without discussing the delivery mechanisms.

  it isn't. for symbionte to take hold, it has to social engineer it's way into a system, with a person executing it. there's nothing novel nor interesting in capturing a few system call to hide oneself, malware has been doing that since the nineties. unless it can get some privilege it shouldn't, this "malware" is mostly user error.

    This is not being distributed by social engineering. Yes, this particular malware is boring. However, exploits are only tangentially related to malware. Malware by itself can be interesting and worth discussing. > for symbionte to take hold, it has to social engineer it's way into a system, with a person executing it. This is an utterly stupid criticism, as it could be applied to almost all actually novel malware.
