Passive Trojan (was:Re: HAZ-MAT virus)
This has been done in the past using several vairants (but not in a image

The key to the success is that the application in question has to be
compromised to respond to these codes, either by design or by hacking.
Either way the individual responsible must modify the execution
mechanism, not just the data itself.
Let's see -current examples of computing items with this kind of a
"feature"... magic cookies, macros, OLE, DDE, MS Objects, JAVA, and the
list keeps growing.
