It's been quiet on here for a while :( so I thought I'd kick off a new thread with a cool challenge. How can we create some code that modifies itself without DOS'ing itself and can evolve. I started something extremely simple that modifies the number in the code and continues until the regex cannot match anymore but we need the code to continue regardless and somehow be aware of objects and functions.

It's probably worth reading some old info on the subject, lots of viruses have tried with varying success.

He's using assembly in that paper, but the ideas are the same.

It's hard to construct some code that doesn't break after x timeouts and that actually does something useful but this is why I posted it for us all to figure out. I do actually think that this sort of thing can produce real AI and self producing secure code along with the obvious obfuscation value.
