A security researcher shunned by the anti-virus community for violating its unwritten rules has attempted to turn the tables, erecting a Web service that virus writers could use to make their creations more stealthy and undetectable for longer periods of time. At issue is a new site called avtracker.info, which aims to keep tabs on the different automated analysis services used by the security industry, such as Virustotal, ThreatExpert, and Norman Sandbox. Researchers who unearth new malicious code samples often submit them to these services to learn more about how the malware behaves and to see whether the samples are currently detected by anti-virus products. The results of each scan are shared broadly within the security industry, allowing anti-virus makers that don't detect the malware to incorporate detection for them in future updates that are pushed out to customer PCs Enter AV Tracker.
