G2 is a computer virus creation tool written by Dark Angel of the Phalcon/Skism organization. This organization also wrote the "Phalcon-Skism Mass Produced Code Generator" [PS-MPC] which was used in the creation of Abraxas and numerous other viruses.

G2 generates compact, easily modified, fully commented, source code of .COM and .EXE infectors. It also supports the creation of resident and non-resident encrypted and non-encrypted viruses. The PS-MPC has similar use.
