for those interested in the polymorphic libraries which became prevalent in the early 90s, I've got a disassembly of MtE at https://github.com/bnjf/mte/

I'll be interested to look at that MtE disassembly in detail. Thanks for doing that work.

If you enjoyed MtE you might enjoy the polymorphic engine from Natas (published in 40Hex[0]). It's not as complex as MtE. It's a bit oddball in that it appends the decryption routine to the payload.
