Visualizing Viruses
Penguin April 11th, 2008
This odd virus, called Parite, debuted in 2001. It wraps itself around every executable file it can find on a compromised host, and thus runs along with every program executed on the machine. Here Parite is shown with its tentacles wrapped around NetSky.
Wired has a gallery of Alex Dragulescu who scans virus source code to find patterns and then visualizes it, adding color.
