So what they're saying is: "We can't possibly defend against any attack if the attacker bothers to take the time to test their attack against our software."
That's a startling admission, not just because they're saying "our software ain't that good" but because they've also gone and told you exactly how to defeat it.
[insert conspiracy theory here]
- berntb 14y agoA nation state might have access to the antivirus source code (and maybe some of the ex-programmers (or present!) as consultants). What was it the guy said, who was poisoned with Polonium in London? Something like "Spy organisations are made to compete with other spy organisations, with budgets in the billions. As a private person, you're hopelessly outmatched."
- Achshar 14y ago> they've also gone and told you exactly how to defeat it. No, what they said is that since they [hackers] can test their code with antivirus before deploying, they can be sure of the fact that it wont be detected. So it's obvious that to "defeat" the antivirus, they have to test against it. It's in no way a solution. Anyone with a little common sense will tell you that to defeat an antivirus, the best way is to test against it before you release your malware.
