The 12KB Bomb
Kelly Martin, 2004-03-17

It only takes a 12KB virus for total system compromise and a highly effective spam engine. Anyone can make one. Some assembly required.

I think the writer missed the vastness of the two main projects (MyDoom and Bagle), or it looks that way from the line relating to kids in parents basements randomly editing the binaries to make new varients.

That is quite far from the truth in the case of MyDoom, Bagle, and netsky (the latter being a slightly different case), which are all organised projects as opposed to random mutations.
