There is video hosting web sites on the intertubes?
Now where would those be found, I wonder. All I have ever seen is macro-st=
reaming that is fraudulently labeled and advertised as video -- the worst b=
eing something called FlashVirus, which was written by a company called Mac=
roVirus Media or something like that, and currently owned and flogged by Ad=
obe along with their "Proprietary Document Format" (the latest versions of =
which boast UVTD technology -- Unstoppable Virus Transport and Distribution=
).
If the so-called video contains arbitrary executable code (or can run arbit=
rary executable code), or requires the use of a specific application to "pl=
ay" (or infect the target), then it should not be described as "video". It=
is a streaming-macro.
Microsoft was the first OS vendor to add the "Execute Payload" header to IP=
which saved much time and effort in the distribution of malicious code via=
the internet. Unfortunatly, Adobe and several other vendors have patents =
on what is called the method of "Executable Data" and made Microsoft remove=
their wonderous invention under pain of patent lawsuits.
Of course, maybe whats meant is File hosting, where the File being hosted j=
ust happens to contain video data in standard data format (preferably a pur=
e-data format that does not embed execution macros of any type).
