Re: [aspectj-users] Virus / unwanted code modification

At this point, the only way to have AspectJ affect your code is to:

a) Use the AspectJ compiler to compile it
b) Use a load-time weaver (weaving classloader)

Since both of these modes of action imply significant control over an application, AspectJ seems an unlikely choice for the basis of any virus. Furthermore, AspectJ does nothing to subvert Java's security model, which I understand is quite tight.

Cheers,
Nick

Are there any papers in this direction?

Yours,
