I just completed some tests on the Bliss virus (available first for Linux). I tested it on FreeBSD, with Linux emulation. With emulation, the binary can infect EVEN FREEBSD FILES. Apparently we got something right with our emulation. (Note that the infected files will, from that point onward, need Linux emulation to run) If you try this, and manage to infect yourself (tisk, tisk), then the following bliss command will remove infection: bliss --bliss-disinfect-files-please I will not mention where to get bliss, nor will I respond to mail asking. Currently, it is relatively safe, as it displays hundreds of messages on your screen when you get it, but I would hate to see that modified.
