So far I've never used Ventoy due to these issues. The concept sounds great though.
A simple virus could easily backdoor every binary on the system which built the file, rince and repeat.
Before anyone says that Linux virus do not exist, I have written a handful, as I'm sure many others have. Do not assume lack of observation to be confirmation of your view.
The second I wrote was attempting to exploit the trust that erlang VM's have with each other. I have rewritten a few in various BEAM based languages, this was to give evidence to management that security/protections should be put in place for erlang clustering (rabbitmq, HA erlang, etc).
Another was for working for a large north american linux vendors product security group, In an effort to know ones enemy and the effort involved in some of the 'in-the-field' backdoors that were found. In this case, I was reproducing the "virus/RAT" (I use that term loosely) that contained dirtycow exploit primitive in the wild. I also reversed/reproduced/(exploited ?) their exploitable C&C infrastructure. This information was handed over to the law enforcement and I've never heard any more about it.
Each virus had its own reason, none of them escaped my demonstrations.
that sounds extremely interesting and useful. specially now with the elixir renascence
or that you've genuinely never come across one?
I mean, just stop by reddit!
