Trojan Source is a software vulnerability that abuses Unicode's bidirectional characters to display source code differently than the actual execution of the source code. [1] The exploit utilizes how writing scripts of different reading directions are displayed and encoded on computers.
Source code viruses are rare, partly due to the difficulty of parsing source code programmatically, but have been reported to exist. One such virus (W32/Induc-A) was identified by anti-virus specialist Sophos as capable of injecting itself into the source code of any Delphi program it finds on an infected computer, and then compiles itself into ...
This is a list of proprietary source-available software, which has available source code, but is not classified as free software or open-source software. In some cases, this type of software is originally sold and released without the source code , and the source code becomes available later.
Metamorphic code is used by computer viruses to avoid the pattern recognition of anti-virus software. Metamorphic viruses often translate their own binary code into a temporary representation, editing the temporary representation of themselves and then translate the edited form back to machine code again.

The concept behind a fork bomb — the processes continually replicate themselves, potentially causing a denial of service. In computing, a fork bomb (also called rabbit virus) is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack wherein a process continually replicates itself to deplete available system resources, slowing down or crashing the system due to resource starvation.
Flame (a.k.a. Da Flame) was identified in May 2012 by the MAHER Center of the Iranian National CERT, Kaspersky Lab and CrySyS Lab (Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security) of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics when Kaspersky Lab was asked by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union to investigate reports of a virus affecting Iranian Oil Ministry ...
Between 2019 and 2021 K1n9_Duk3 recreated the source code of Commander Keen 4, 5 and 6, based on the already released source code of Catacomb 3-D, Wolfenstein 3-D and Keen Dreams. When compiled with the Borland C++ v3.0 compiler, compressing the newly created executables with LZEXE 100% identical copies of the original v1.4 executables are ...
