A simple infection method ------------------------- This method was inspired by Silvio Cesare (http://vxheaven.org/lib/vsc02.html). (Read the "The non ELF infector file virus (file infection)" section) In order to make the executable strip safe, the idea is to load the host in memory. $ make $ ls -l target -rwxr-xr-x 1 dbourbaki dbourbaki 6768 Feb 23 11:35 target --> infected.s %define SIZE 6768 $ make infected nasm -f bin infected.s -o infected cat target >> infected $ ./infected Infected ! I am the target $ strip infected $ ./infected Infected ! I am the target
