What are your ideas on evolving viruses?
Thats what you meant, right?
I have thought of that too, a virus that mutates itself randomly every time it infects a new binary. I have come to the conclusion that such a virus would have to duplicate very many times before it mutates into something that runs. One incarnation of a computer viruses infects all the binaries on a computer at its best. On my windows box i have 1185 binaries. I dont think that is enough to create a new working virus threw mutation.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I don't neccassarily agree. dependent on the way the virus mutates/duplicates (hardcore binary against mutation of some "higher language" rules) it could be enough.
If you take a generation size of 50, you can get quite some generations.
However, in that case you can't randomly change hex-codes of your virus, it would need heuristics, rules.. which would make it bigger than you would want to, if you'd use it as a virus...
But as I understand the virus thingy, it's not about actually making a new vicious virus, but rather to try to learn from concepts used there....
correct me if I'm wrong

Virus programming, in a sense, is the beginnings of AI. Giving the computer the ability to adjust itself as it sees fit, as well as explore its surroundings, is the beginning of any intelligence, the same way us "humans" learned when we were first brought into this world. We explored. This is why I think virus creation should be explored in the design of AI. Please contact me. I believe you(two) have very intriguing visions in the direction of AI design and research.
