> That's not true - there's heurystic analysis techniques, generic signature detection etc. Of course they may not meet your definition of "reliably"

The only reliable things in security are the things that an attacker cannot bypass even when knowing that they in use (e.g. RSA). The premise of the article being discussed is that heuristics are trivial to bypass.

I think that when it comes to this, each individual gets to define what reliably is, and nothing else matters.
