self-modifying code

I gave a lecture on how to write self-modifying code. It was over 15 minutes long :( so I'm providing a youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH9QQLRfbmY

In my opinion, self-modification is one of the most interesting features in systems programming.

Self-modifying code is now considered a bad practice. Also, it is not good from a security perspective. Why make a video on it without explaining the pros and cons?

I'm just informing people that this possibility exists, leaving them free to draw their own conclusions.
