"In lieu of a paper, submit a new, previously unknown mobile malware binary, along with a description of how you reversed engineered it."

So, if you want to become member (and looking at the member-list, who doesn't....) you should first write your own malware (if you can't get hold of any). I guess that explains why this malware only is available at MARA.

To me it looks like a group of individuals which one should be kind of carefull with.
