- As a Student Informatica (Polytechnic School) I am intrested in both, the way
- Virus are working and how they are build. But since I am no American and you
- didn't put any adress off the CERT team I have no idea how to contact them.
- Further, do I need premision from a teacher of mine or will they believe my
- baby-face that I mean no harm with the code??
