Theoretical Malware Concerns

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Theoretical Malware Concerns

Post by xxxcastenada »

After reading this story in the news:

http://www.nowpublic.com/tech-biz/nasa- ... orne-virus

I was wondering what types of advantages hobbyist as well as non-mainstream operating systems might offer as a "feature"?

PS -- I'm not necessarily implying OS that haven't yet developed a TCP/IP stack. Moreso, how different implementations, algorithms and data structures(et all) might *prevent* infection / malware where mainstream OS like windows, MAC OS, and linux cannot.

.

If that made sense.
