据唐威介绍，“超级火焰”病毒结构相当庞大，可以比喻成一个完整的“应用程序”，病毒包的完整大小有数十兆之多，其复杂性和危害性都大大超乎了用户对于一般病毒的理解。

sKyWIper uses compression and encryption techniques to encode its files. More specifically,
it uses 5 different encryption methods (and some variants), 3 different compression techniques,
and at least 5 different file formats (and some proprietary formats too). It also uses special code injection techniques.
Quite interestingly, sKyWIper stores information that it gathers on infected systems in a highly structured format in SQLite databases.
Another uncommon feature of sKyWIper is the usage of the Lua scripting language.
sKyWIper has very advanced functionality to steal information and to propagate.
Multiple exploits and propagation methods can be freely configured by the attackers.
Information gathering from a large network of infected computers was never crafted as carefully as in sKyWIper.
The malware is most likely capable to use all of the computers’ functionalities for its goals.
It covers all major possibilities to gather intelligence, including keyboard, screen, microphone, storage devices, network, wifi, Bluetooth, USB and system processes.
