- SURVEY DEFLATES COMPUTER-VIRUS DANGERS
-
- But safeguards are few as cases proliferate.
-
- Computer viruses, those nasty bits of distructive programming unleashed
- by deviant hackers, are multiplying at a startling rate - but haven't proved
- nearly as troublesome as once feared and aren't scaring users enough to take
- even simple safeguards.
-
- Dataquest Inc. a marker research firm in San Jose released a ground-
- breaking 150-page survey Monday showing that almost two-thirds of business
- and government organizatons with more than 300 personal computers has
- encountered a viurs at least once this year. Yet only 15 percent of them
- has installed anti-virus software.
-
- What's more, Dataquest found the virus encounters more than doubled
- in each of the first three quarters of 1991. **<smile, smile>**
-
- The National Computer Security Association of Washington D.C., which
- represents 1,000 developers of anti-virus software, hired Dataquest to
- conduct what is apparently the first study of virus proliferation by a
- reseacher not directly employed by an anti-virus software company.
-
- Computer viruses hide themselves in legitamate files, jumping from
- machine to machine. Triggered either at random or on a set date, such
- as Friday the 13th, the most destructive viruses gobble up programs and
- data in their host computers. **gobble???**
-
- Robert Morris, then a student at Cornell University, unleashed a
- the biggest virus to date in November 1988 **please** when a program he
- intended to queitly slip onto a network call Internet went out of
- control and temporally shut down 6,000 computers at universitys and
- government reaserch labrotorys nationwide. In the wake of the Internet
- case, there were dire predictions of future virus attacks the could
- bring the entire economy grinding to a halt.
-
- But there haven't been any major virus outbreaks since then and, it
- turnded out, the Internet virus **Internet worm, damn it!!!** did little
- permanent damage.
-
- What's more, most viruses are relitavely mild - more like a case of
- sniffles the double pnemonia. Typically, these mild viruses take up
- space in the computers memory and slow down operations, but don't
- destroy data. ** :) :( **
-
- "Many viruses are very innocuous," said Shella Cotter, director of
- software consulting for Dataquest. "You find them, you identify them and
- you get rid of them."
-
- "Many of the viruses I've heard about have not been big problems,"
- added Jay BloomBecker ** tell me he aint gay **, director of the
- National Center for Computer Crime Data in Santa Cruz. "But it's
- significant enough that if you're not paying attention to it, you
- security is probably inadeqaute."
-
- Anti-virus software sold over the counter automatcally plucks out
- the most of the roughly, 1,000 viruses identifey thoughout the world.
- Occasoinally however, killer viruses can take over an entire computer
- system and threaten a buisness with massive losses of crucial information.
-
- Dataquest talked to 600 orginazations during October and dicovered
- that 63 percent had encountered at least one virussince the beginning of
- the year. Of these reporting and encounter, 62 percent claimed "a
- definite loss of productivity," although the $70,000 study did not
- tabulate the total cost.
-
- In the survey group, 9 percent reported a "virus disaster," defined
- as a single incedent affecting 25 or more personal computers or
- diskettes. On average, computers involved in a virus disaster were out
- of commision four days and required reprogramming at a cost of $6,200.
-
- And, in 3 percent of virus attacks, either the person who introduced
- the virus or the person responible for computer security was threatened
- with dismmisal. Dataquest didn't count how many were actually fired.
-
- "Computer viruses are much more prevalent than people think and,
- unless we think, and unless we take precautions, over time they are
- going to get worse," said Andrew Seybold, head of the Dataquest servey team.
-
- But anti-virus software and strict enforcement of computer scurity
- policies could change in the future.
-
- "The good news is, it's solveable. The bad news is companies aren't
- chossing to solve it,", Cotter concluded. ** The other way around for us **

- The Typo COM Virus
-
- The Typo Virus comes in 2 forms - a boot sector infector, and a
- COM file infector. This version is the COM version. The effective
- length of the virus is 867 bytes, and it only infects COM files. Typo
- stays resident, and can infect files whether they are run or not, from my
- experience. Typo isn't a destructive virus, but it does garble any
- output to the parallel ports, by exchanging certain letters with others
- that sound similar, and by transposing numbers. Sometimes it replaces
- one number with an entirely different number. Typo is believed to have
- originated in Israel, because some Hebrew letters are changed when it is
- active, and it was isolated in that country. Typo is easily detected by
- SCAN, and the scan string is "A1 58 00 2E 89 84 99 FE 26 A1 5A 00" in lines
- 400 and 410 of the hex dump, below.
-
- To assemble TYPO.COM, cut out the following hex, and name the resulting
- file TYPO. Then, issue the command DEBUG < TYPO and you will have a
- working version of the virus.

- Hi. Is there a known virus which displays a screen which reads "INC, for
- quality cracks?" I have recently inherited a computer at the company I work
- at and there was apparently some tetris and blockout games on the disk which
- are the source of this message. I found a file called "runme.bat" with the
- text in it, but even after I deleted it, it still pops up the aforementioned
- message. Also, the message gives me a choice of EGA CGA or monochrome and in
- general, the message makes life difficult for me.
- any help with this would be vastly appreciated.

- The Marauder Virus
- ++++++++++++++++++
-
-
- December marks the first year of the group Skism. The alliance of
- Phalcon/Skism took place around July 1991. Me and a few freinds at
- school started the group by hacking old viruses into new strains.
- Well I have lost contact with these people since then and a new
- breed of members has risen from the ashes.
-
- Well, I myself have learned a lot over the year. I went from virus
- hacker with about three viruses to my name, to overwritting man,
- to what I am now. An advanced (kind of) level assembler programmer,
- writing parasitic infectors. Well come this time next year I belive
- I'll be into more major stuff, ya know sick mother fucking DIR-2
- type action. I've written a couple of TSR viruses shells, nothing
- completed yet. Well anyway here's my personal latest creation -
- Marauder. What Marauder is, is this ----
-
- Marauder Virus
- By Hellraiser
- of Phalcon/Skism
-
- Aliases: Deadpool-B, 808-B, 860.
-
- Marauder is a non-overwriting, non-resident, encrypting, semi-mutating,
- .COM file infector.
-
- When a file is infected with the Marauder Virus the virus will search
- the current path for a .COM file and infect it, adding 860 bytes to the
- files size. If not .COM files reside in the current directory, the
- virus will go up one directory and check for .COM files to infect untill
- it reaches the root. At the root directory the virus will scan for
- other directorys to find .COM files, until one uninfected .COM file is
- found. If no .COM files are found on the disk the virus will terminate
- it search and return to the currently running program.
-
- If an infected file is run on Feburary second of any year, the virus
- will destroys all files in the current directory, by overwritting them
- with message code. The files will not run when executed, just terminate
- upon reading the first line. There is no way to recover the files once
- the virus destroys them. After this control will be given back to the
- host program.
-
- The Maruder virus is able to infect any .COM file no matter what
- attribute... Hidden, System, Read-Only, etc... The files date, time, and
- attribute will not be changed after a file becomes infected.
-
- The virus will not cause a system error if run on a write-protected
- floppy or fixed-disk, merely terminate any attempt of infection.
-
- The virus will not infect files under 16 bytes or over 64,675 bytes.
-
- For the most part the virus is randomly encrypted with each passing
- infection, the small part of the program code which is not encrypted
- mutates between two different, but comaptable strain of bytes.
-
- There is not way of detecting the virus infections other than the
- addition of 860 bytes to infected files, in other words, system-run time
- is not affected at all. If any run-time is affected it is the split
- second it takes for the virus to infect a file.
-
- The virus causes no damage to disk sectors or boot records etc... The
- only perminate damage is the destuction of all files in the current
- directory on 02/02/XX.
-
- And here it is...
