Nothing really impressed me since CEH, the Chenobyl virus, not the crappy 'hacking' course! That was some good shit.

That's a pretty depressing statistic come to think of it. Fact of the matter is, this will remain a never-ending battle and it will continue to do so as long as software is created by humans. In the end, even that Trusted Computing stuff is bound to have implementation errors that allow exploitation. An average of 6.2 of 19 new virusses evaded detection?
