I know this is old but just in case someone else is also interested in this question: this book has a very slowly described gang-rape of a minor after being drugged scene (from the pov of the rapist who is very positive about it) on the first few chapters that is absolutely disturbing and I wouldn't recommend for anyone to read, let alone young people.(less)

Is it any good? I didn't like Brad Thor's Act of War. Hope this one will be much better.

I wasn't that impressed with Act of War either. I write suspense thrillers so I'll pick up books in that genre, not sure why I bother with Thor. I've read four of his books, and I can honestly say as I go through my read books on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, I can't remember anything about any of the four.(less)

A JPEG file contains only data, but if that data is constructed in a specific way to leverage a programming vulnerability in libraries which read the data, virus-like behavior can be created.

The virus would only be effective if the JPEG was opened using the flawed library.

Such a problem was discovered in 2004 within the Microsoft JPEG library within Windows XP, it was quickly patched though.
