Evolution

Came to read news on Habré.
Evolution in the Infosphere is gaining momentum. In one of my blogs (I’m not afraid to give this address on Mail.ru), I have already thought that we are witnessing an evolution in the Infosphere, which so far is driven by more people than machines. Pre-evolutionary stage ... which has already led to the fact that network worms are fighting with each other for a place in the sun on the servers.
And now I read this ...

(cited) ... An interesting Vigilante program is being created in the Cambridge division of MS Research. This program detects and responds to attacks of an unknown type of network worms. In order to detect them, bait servers (honeypots) are placed on the network, which must be attacked by worms first. On these servers, incoming traffic is being analyzed, and in the case of the discovery of a new "infection", the program informs security specialists about this.

So, in addition to the brood of proto-creatures, we have “the least favored zones” (well, or you can call this the mutagenic factor) in the Infosphere, where ill-adapted kodotvari will die out as whole species. The next step in development, I suppose the emergence of a generation of code-makers capable of detecting such places on the Web, and rebuilding my code so as not to get caught in these traps. From there, close to cross-species coordination, and before crossing.

So far, the main activity of the worms is the devouring of a resource (with the corresponding “waste” in the form of spam), and reproduction. But the development is ...
