This code is purely for research purposes and so that the reader may have a deeper understanding
of UNIX Virus infection within ELF executables.

Behavior:
The virus copies itself to the first uninfected executable that it has write permissions to,
therefore the virus copies itself one executable at a time. The virus writes a bit of magic
into each binary that it infects so that it knows not to re-infect it. The virus at present
only infects files within the current working directory, but can easily be modified.

More work-related lols. Two folks were having a lengthy discussion about how they could possibly find out how long a process had been running. `ps -ef` completely escaped mention, but I'll let that slide as they wanted it to be automated. Cropping stuff from ps is a pain. I get it. The very first option they came up with was ... kernel modules. -_-
