Peoject CANCER: Bringing VX Back

Presented at DerbyCon 3.0 All in the Family (2013), Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Project CANCER is a proof-of-concept – ZOO – virus that tries to take the bar up in terms of complexity and advanced technology. The virus is divided into various different engines, each in which has its own functionality for the generation of the new infected binary file. Having the features of, but not limited to, metamorphism and virtualization combined is for sure a high difficulty in detection. The technologies introduced in this virus is quiet a few, so its not your typical virus. The virus was written over the years where it was picked off and on depending on the motivation and mood.
