Description
This is the Hellbot Polymorphic Engine. Hellbot uses this code to mutate the binary executables that are dropped onto the end computers. This is used to thwart signature based malware detection techniques. This means that every dropped copy of Hellbot is not the same every time. Malware that uses this kind of evasion tactic is extremely difficult to detect by a lot of security programs.

This code although it is a part of a malware program will not harm your computer and is in fact completely useless alone even if copied and compiled. I am posting this because it looks interesting, that's all.

Also as far as I know, the full malware will only work on Windows operating systems. It is not compatible with Mac OSX and Linux without running a program called Wine. As a matter of fact, most malware only works on Windows. That is because Mac OSX and Linux work differently from Windows.

Note that I said MOST malware only works on Windows. The amount of malware being written for Mac OSX is increasing. Linux still only has an extremely small selection of malware that works with it mostly because not a whole lot of people use it. In fact there is only one or two pieces of ransomware that work with Linux and both of them use encryption that is trivially easy to crack with some effort.
