ELF Virus Writing HOWTO


{LANG_NAVORIGIN} Malicious Code
By: Alexander Bartolich, 04/27/2004



Linux has remained remarkably virus-free for years, yet the anti-virus experts always warn that "malware" will target Linux next. In this paper, Alexander Bartolich taunts the anti-virus experts by writing detailed instructions about how to write a Linux virus, almost, but not quite writing the actual virus. This paper has been out for at least a year, and as long as 3 years, and we still don't see Linux viruses. Perhaps Bartolich is correct, and the anti-virus community is wrong.
One problem: Bartolich doesn't really attempt to explain why linux hasn't seen the kind of plague that Windows and Mac OS have.
