Kaspersky: Duqu Trojan uses 'unknown programming language'
Submitted by l33tdawg on Fri, 2012-03-09 00:24

The payload DLL, which communicates exclusively with the Command and Control (C&C) server so that the worm knows what to do once it has infected a system, has code that doesn’t resemble anything seen before. While secuirty researchers have worked out what the mystery code does, they aren’t sure about the syntax.
