- VSUM denial time :)
- +-----------------+
-
- Well people, it seems we have made it into VSUM, all AVers only
- have one of our viruses it seems, the other seven or so never did
- make it into any scanners or reports, so now you know what sources
- to mess with ;) As per usual with our articles which we have
- something to say in I'm going to write comments in square brackets
- in the article.
-
- Virus Name: Incest
- [when will all you AV fucks get it right? there are four viruses
- , each was published in VLAD#1 which you must have read! Each a
- member of the Incest family, therefore this virus should be called
- Incest.Daddy! the other three being Incest.Mummy, Incest.Brother
- and Incest.Sister.]
-
- Aliases:
- [how true, no aliases]
- V Status: New
- Discovered: September, 1994
- Symptoms: .COM & .EXE growth; DOS CHKDSK file allocation errors;
- decrease in total system & available free memory;
- file time changes
- Origin: Queensland, Australia
- [ah well, now you know where the magazine was first released ;) ]
- Eff Length: 1,117 Bytes
- Type Code: PRhAK - Parasitic Resident .COM & .EXE Infector
- Detection Method:
- [well it is detected by F-Prot and TBAV, but patti is too cool for
- these heuristic scanners]
- Removal Instructions: Delete infected files
- [haha how true, I know that tbclean won't remove it, not sure about
- f-prot though, i doubt it]
-
- General Comments:
- The Incest virus was submitted in September, 1994, after its isolation
- in Australia. Incest is a memory resident stealth-type virus which
- infects .COM and .EXE programs, including COMMAND.COM.
- [what's this isolation shit? are these people thinking the virus
- didn't get anywhere past Queensland? hmm interesting! :) ]
-
- When the first Incest infected program is executed, this virus will
- install itself memory resident at the top of system memory but below
- the 640K DOS boundary, not moving interrupt 12's return. Total system
- and available free memory will have decreased by 2,400 bytes, and
- interrupt 21 will be hooked by the virus is memory.
-
- Once the Incest virus is memory resident, it will infect .COM and .EXE
- programs, including COMMAND.COM, when they are executed, opened, or
- copied. Infected programs will have a file length increase of 1,117
- bytes, though the file length increase will be hidden when the virus
- is memory resident. The virus will be located at the end of the file.
- The file's date in the DOS disk directory listing will not be altered,
- however, the time field will have been altered. The following text
- strings are encrypted within the viral code:
- [if I remember correctly Incest.Daddy changes the seconds on files
- to 62 to check for infection (i might be wrong since I didn't write
- it hehe)]
-
- "[Incest Daddy] by VLAD - Brisbane, OZ"
- "ANTI-VIR.DAT MSAV.CHK CHKLIST.CPS CHKLIST.MS"
- [well we had to say it was from somewhere didn't we,
- and naturally Brisbane came to mind]
-
- This virus interfers with the Microsoft Anti-Virus and Central
- Point Anti-Virus programs, deleting the above indicated files which
- the programs require in order to be able to detect viral infections.
- [I believe that's spelt "interferes" patti, but hey I'll let it go,
- yeah you're right it messes with those, and tbscan but you wouldn't
- mention that would you ;)]
-
- All in all the article is pretty much correct, although there are
- two versions of the Incest.Daddy virus (as noted by F-Prot). It's
- obvious she hasn't read vlad#1 or I'm sure she would've mentioned
- about the reason *why* it's called the Incest family.
-
- Ah well, VSUM is in general full of shit.. but this is ok. It just
- fucks me off that every single piece of AV bullshit has named our
- virus (they all only have Incest.Daddy!!) wrong, they obviously don't
- know how to read a magazine, any of them could get their hands on
- it if they really wanted to.
-
- When it comes down to it, we're lucky these people are doing their
- job badly. It gives us a better chance of further infection, and
- a virus with more names might get more attention :) hehe I dunno,
- a pretty rooted theory but hey.. this is a magazine, I have to
- crap on about something :) heheheh
