The next sentence made sense of that first comment .. legit stuff is signed

Id like to see proof of concept mechanics to see how stealthing would work &
how the apparent apache viiri effects all other binaries cuz it must run as
root to be able to do what is claimed.

Since each linux system differ's quite substancially from the other creating
a viiri that would be effective is practically zero ... proof of concept in
europe show'd that getting a viiri in to some system setups is not a problem
but when you start patching the kernel and having your daemons running as
users and not root forget it..
