Originally coded by the Naga hacker Basilisk, the Petrify program is a modified Nuke program, and follows the normal rules for such programs. Petrify comes in two versions. The Rating 4 version has Armor Piercing 3 and Rust options. The Rating six version is identical to the less powerful version, with the addition of the Area 3 program option. Visually, enemy icons struck by Petrify appear to progressively turn into stone.
