I need some information on a strange topic.

i want to know if there are any viruses out there that can propagate
via the SNA network/stack protocol?. Most virus would use TCP/IP to
transmit themselves but are there any viruses that specially effect
only SNA based networks....
thanks

The viruses you'll find in the wild mostly are the harmless variants.

The real threat is the malware, which is designed to attack, and the
attacker, which has you in focus.

So, I don't know SNA based worms in the wild - how could that be,
there are no end-user SNA networks or something like that.

But of course it's possible to create SNA based malware also.
