2. Polymorphic code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphic_code

   Polymorphic code. In computing, polymorphic code is code that uses a polymorphic engine to mutate while keeping the original algorithm intact - that is, the code changes itself every time it runs, but the function of the code (its semantics) stays the same. For example, the simple math expressions 3+1 and 6-2 both achieve the same result, yet ...

   Metamorphism does not protect a virus against heuristic analysis. [citation needed] Metamorphic code can also mean that a virus is capable of infecting executables from two or more different operating systems (such as Windows and Linux) or even different computer architectures. Often, the virus does this by carrying several viruses within itself.

   Polymorphic engine. A polymorphic engine (sometimes called mutation engine or mutating engine) is a software component that uses polymorphic code to alter the payload while preserving the same functionality. Polymorphic engines are used almost exclusively in malware, with the purpose of being harder for antivirus software to detect. They do so ...
