self mutating code can be more useful than dangerous..

[Joel Jose]

agreed the 'mutation engine' by dark avenger was a real deadly
master-code piece..,
but then.. if one could create a self mutating code..in real
time then i think it would just b the most technical advancement of
this century!!!
just think...
instead of those nagging.. and more irritating than
helpfull death screen(error logs).. that windows shows every other
time.. if it could evolve itself to cope up with the error..
if the pe structure could b changed by the os every now
and then..
so thatany pe file operation..could b done only with "ethical"
coding.. then.. viruses might just dissapear..like the dinausours
dissapeared...
more importantly.. the IT industry could recope it
self..re evolve..re emerge.. after the downfall.. the reccession..
like a pheonix!!!

if any one could think about this... only if atleast a small
fraction of brains.. used for unethical ..works could b usedfor such
legitimate actiities..

well... i dont want to b idealistic at least here..

i think..bosh pc emulator is a gr8 resource.. to start..
hey any one planning on this.. plz contact me.. thro mail..

It is impossible to create self-mutating code in standard C++. You
are off-topic here, go away.

That 'advancement' took place years ago. Self modifying code was used
back in the stone age when there was little on board memory and programs
had to be crammed into it. Luckily for me I wasn't really a coder at
that time (minor basic programs) and so didn't have to try debugging
these types of monstrosities. Since we no longer have to resort to such
tactics to fit our programs into system memory you won't see much self
modifying code anymore.
