    So, essentially, really poorly written malware? Given the number of assumptions it makes without any sort of robustness around system configuration it’s about as good as any first-pass bash script.

    It’d be a stretch to call it malware, it’s probably an outright fabrication to call it a virus.

        I wasn’t sure about it either. There’s security researchers out there who might genuinely want to get a virus to run in a VM.

        But yeah, the cmalw-lib-2.0 gives it away…
