This paper delves into the state of the art of computer virology formalisation then tackles the development of a new malware algorithm. It details how the work leveraged Blockchain to create an undetectable malware depicting two versions of the new malware, starting from a first naive version to achieve an advanced armoured undetectable k-ary malware that leverages decentralized storage namely IPFS. The detection of the new malware algorithm has been proven NP-complete.
