Re: Possible First Crypto Virus Definitely Discovered!

Whatever ssl is, I don't know but it's using the so-called "ssl" port on
the web servers. I don't think it has anything to do with whatever ssl
was back in the old days of UNIX. It has a lower port number and that
means it's an older port! Probably from the 1970s!

Besides, why should I see any encrypted traffic on any port other than
SSH? I don't expect to see encryption on anything other than the SSH
port 22 (which is a very old port).

You are kidding, right?  SSL = Secured Sockets Layer.  It probably includes 
encryption.  It would not be too _SECURE_ if it was plain text.

SSH = Secured Shell

Notice the use of _SECURED_ in both their names?
