Some additional info. The mention of "Day 0" might be
of concern.


How so?  Are you saying that just b/c Dennis Fisher
says that there's a "Day 0" out there, it must be true?  

So far, all that's been made available is a bunch of
packet captures, and even more speculation.  Sure, I
agree that it *could be* a Trojan, but we don't know. 
The only person who seems to have found anything
resembling source code or a binary for this has been
Joe Stewart.  But even he says:

Maybe someone is just testing a new implementation of
the synscanning code in a distributed 
manner, and has some bugs to work out.
