Is it possible to implement a self-propagating hidden virus-miner?

Question

Malware

I welcome everyone. I have heard and seen many times hidden miners written in high YP. As a rule, they are written in C ++. Its essence is that the finished exe miner is stitched together with the finished program and distributed. The problem with this method is that you need to distribute this infected program yourself.
Therefore, I asked myself the question: Is it possible to write at a low level (C and ASM) a hidden virus-miner that will spread itself by mail or via a local network and subsequently insert its code into primitive programs?

Answer 1

Can

Answer 2

Only recently, one "hacker" was asking for article 272 here, but article 273 came in handy! :)
RF Criminal Code Article 273. Creation, use and distribution of malicious computer programs (
as amended by Federal Law No. 420-FZ of 07.12.2011)
blocking, modifying, copying computer information or neutralizing means of protecting computer information, -
shall be punishable by restraint of liberty for a term of up to four years, or by compulsory labor for a term of up to four years, or by deprivation of liberty for the same term, with a fine in the amount of up to 200 thousand roubles, or in the amount of the wage or salary, or any other income of the convicted person for a period of up to eighteen months.
2. The deeds provided for by paragraph 1 of this Article, committed by a group of persons by prior agreement, or by an organized group, or by a person using his official position, as well as causing major damage or committed out of selfish interest, -
shall be punishable by restraint of liberty for a term up to four years, or forced labor for a term up to five years, with or without deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term up to three years, or imprisonment for a term up to five years, with a fine in the amount of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of two to three years or without it and with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a period of up to three years or without it.
3. The acts provided for by the first or second part of this article, if they caused grave consequences or created a threat of their occurrence, -
shall be punishable by deprivation of liberty for a term of up to seven years.

Answer 3

Can. But the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, art. 273 brought here not without reason :) From four to seven (years).

Answer 4

Even if it doesn't really work for you. That is, one thing will not perform from the declared functionality:
- stealth from antiviruses. It was not in vain that he mentioned exe, which means that under Windows sharpness;
- self-replication;
- the possibility of distribution by mail;
- the possibility of distribution over the network;
- embedding code into primitive programs (cmd.exe,...)
- main functionality - crypto miner.
And all this on ASM. I think competent people from the authorities will offer you a contract at the FSTEC, and not a term at the Federal Penitentiary Service.
