I have seen several analyses of StarShip. Two excellent ones are by
Dmitry Gryaznov and Igor Muttik. Dmitry's analyse is published in
Virus News International (I think). Maybe Ken has Igor's description
on-line?

Commander Bomber is a damn hard thing... Something like the MtE, but
the MtE is about 2.5 Kb and this one is 4 Kb... :-( The virus itself
is relatively easy (I'll post a short description, if you are
interested) - just like the Dedicated virus is relatively trivial. The
hard thing is the code generation engine generates the small pieces of
code that transfer control to the main body... I have not "cracked" it
completely yet... :-(

Regards,
Vesselin
