It's simply a matter of rewriting the bits in the compiled code,
or attaching a jmp instruction in the program to the Trojan code
to be attached at the end of the program. After all, it has to be
converted
to machine code somewhere and a simple 'print "Hello World"' one line
program has many lines of actual instructions. There's bound to be a jmp
instruction in there somewhere.
