[GLLUG] Linux.Simile Virus

[Brian Hoort]

"It is the first known polymorphic metamorphic virus to infect under both 
Windows and Linux."

"This variant introduces a new infection mechanism on Intel Linux 
platforms, infecting 32-bit ELF files (a standard Unix binary format). The 
virus infects Portable Executable (PE) files as well as ELFs on both Linux 
and Win32 systems. So far Symantec has not received any submissions of this 
virus from customers."
