- HOW TO RUN VBD ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- VBD v2.6 runs either from CLI or WORKBENCH.
-
- When you run VBD from the CLI, you don't need to close the CLI
- afterwards because VBD declares its own process and doesn't block the
- CLI.
-
-
-
- NOTE:
- ~~~~~ AND FOR GUYS THAT HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD YET,
-
- VBD IS AN ANTIVIRUS !!!
-

- ********** ************
- ********** HOW TO USE VBD ************
- ********** ************
- ***************************************************
-
- VBD is the most powerful Antivirus for detecting bootblocks and
- bootviruses. This version is able to detect more than 800 programs
- (viruses, bootblocks, resident programs), and in only 70Kb of code (who
- can make better ???).
- VBD is coded 100% in assembler for maximum speed, efficiency, and
- smaller executable code.
-
- VBD correctly supports multitasking by creating is own processes, so
- you can run it with a CLI line command and parameters or by clicking on
- its icon via Workbench.
-
- You can iconify VBD when running it from the CLI by adding the
- parameter '-I' after the name.
- Example: BY adding this line in your Startup-sequence before the
- 'Loadwb' command.
-
- 'VBD_v2.6 -I'
-
- VBD will appear iconified when your Amiga boots.
-
- When VBD is iconified it performs the same activities as when you are
- under the GUI. It doesn't sleep but stays ready and will halt the
- system and display the GUI when it finds a virus on an inserted disk,
- or in memory, or simply if a main vector has been captured by a
- resident program.
-

- *************************************************
- ********** ************
- ********** GADGETS DESCRIPTION ************
- ********** ************
- *************************************************
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ QUIT ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Quit VBD. All data will be lost in memory if you forgot to save it
- before quitting VBD. If you have created a Learnfile, or simply added
- a new bootblock to the list, VBD will try to save the new learnfile in
- the 'S' directory (with the name 'VBD.lea') before it quits.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ ANALYSE BOOT ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- Probably the most interesting function of VBD.
- This function tries to analyse the current bootblock using an 'Expert
- System' method.
- First, VBD displays the total length of boot, the length of code and
- the length of data. Then it tries to analyse data and code in the boot
- and display actions that it finds (if there is any) and the offset
- where VBD found it.
-
- Then, VBD calculates the different probabilities that the boot is a
- virus, a virus protector, a loader, a utility bootblock, an intro, or a
- harmless bootblock, and displays its results with a histogram.
-
- This analysis function comes to the right conclusion in 90% of cases.
- The diagnostic can be altered or simply wrong by a miss of informations
- bootblock, or simply if the virus creator has included analysis
- protection in his virus (encrypted viruses, useless functions, no
- direct vectors captured...).
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ READ BOOTBLOCK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Loads a disk bootblock in memory buffer. You can select all the
- available drives that are connected to your Amiga.
- The bootblock is read and displayed in the main window in ASCII form.
- If the bootblock can't be read (Wrong disk format, or damaged disk), a
- reqtools requester will appear and inform you that the bootblock can't
- be read. So the previous buffer will be displayed.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ WRITE BOOTBLOCK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Writes to disk the current bootblock displayed in the main window.
- The old bootblock that was on disk will be removed. With this method
- you can destroy a bootvirus on disk.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ EXECUTE BOOTBLOCK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- You can execute the Bootblock that VBD has in memory (The thing
- displayed on the screen!!!). So you don't need to reboot your Amiga to
- see the Bootblock!
-
- Be Careful!!! If your Bootblock is a Virus, don't do it!!! The Virus
- Will be in memory and could attack your Amiga.
-
- If the Bootblock is a Loader (The Boot of a Demo for example) then you
- can't return to VBD and Workbench. The demo will run normally, as if
- you had booted from its disk.
-
- Some bootblocks may crash the system (Bad code!!!) with Gurus, Bugs,
- Altered screens etc...
- It's not VBD's fault!!! Blame the Bootblock coder who badly coded his
- boot (no memory allocation, copy boot itself on a physical address or
- other coding error).
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ LOAD BOOTBLOCK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Load a bootblock file and display it on the main screen.
- So, you can install it on a disk if you want.
- (don't do It with Viruses !!!)
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ SAVE BOOTBLOCK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Save a bootblock as a file-bootblock on disk.
- Use this to archive your bootblocks.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ SHOW BUFFER ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Displays the current bootblock (The one in the buffer).
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ CHECK MEMORY ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- This is in reality a complete memory checking function that has various
- parts.
-
- VBD tests Amiga standard libraries and their offsets functions.
- VBD verifies that each offset has a pointer in ROM, otherwise it could
- be a resident program that captures this offset, or the inner workings
- of the Amiga system (it captures some functions too!!!), or... a Virus!
-
- Some viruses use library offsets to stay resident or carry out their
- damage (animations, format disk!!! Fuck!!!).
-
- VBD detects different Kickstart versions and adapts itself to compare
- offsets (no operations needed).
- Some conflicts have been detected with some Kickstart switchers or non-
- original ROMs (every offset can be altered!!!).
-
- Afterwards, VBD tests the main Amiga vectors that are usually captured
- by Viruses (resident programs can use them too!!!)
- Please have a look at vectors like "Cool Capture" and "KicktagPtr",
- Viruses usually use them.
-
- Finally, VBD scans memory to search for recognised resident programs
- (displays their names and versions if possible), and searches for any
- known viruses in memory (displays name, reproduction counter, entry
- point in memory, and eventually if it's a boot virus, its beginning).
-
- VBD scans memory to search for new viruses (unrecognised programs that
- capture some important vectors) and displays their "Entry point".
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ RESET VECTORS ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- VBD tries to reset the main memory vectors by setting the right values
- in the right vector with the right Kickstart.
- This function cannot kill every Virus in memory (The Lamer Exterminator
- virus, the FAST Virus and some more are resistant to this reset).
- So, the best method is to perform a HARD RESET for your Amiga, or
- better still... switch off your Amiga for 30 seconds or more. No
- virus can survive with the power off for so long.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ DISPLAY STATUS ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Shows your Amiga status (memory size, CPU type, co-processors, disk
- name, and some statistics on check).
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ DF0, DF1, DF2, DF3 ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Use this to Select the drive that you want to check.
- Devices that don't exist are not available.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ MOVE SCREEN ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Scroll vertically the window on screen (why not!!!).
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ AUTO CHECK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Enable/Disable automatic check when a disk is inserted.
- The disk must be inserted in the selected drive.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ CHECK BOOTBLOCK ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Enable/Disable the bootblock check.
- (Only for "Autocheck Option").
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ CHECK STARTUP ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Enable/Disable the checking of files that are in your Startup-Sequence.
- Your Startup-Sequence will be scanned, and every file checked.
- (Only for "Autocheck Option").
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ CHECK VALIDATOR ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Enable/Disable the checking of Disk-Validator.
- If the Disk-Validator is not found, this option will be skipped.
- (Only for "Autocheck Option").

- ********** KNOWN BUGS ************
- ********** ************
- ************************************************
-
-
- -> There can be some problems when you save VBD's configuration file
- if you have a special Kickstart (ROM switcher).
- VBD's configuration file is not compatible with older versions of
- the configuration file.
-
- -> When VBD is iconified, and when the CPU is not free,you cannot
- open the main window (for example, when you crunch something with
- Power Packer, it sets itself a task priority that doesn't permit
- VBD to run).
-
- -> The 'Setpatch' for Workbench v2.1 seems to be incompatible with
- VBD. It causes a 'Recoverable Alert' at beginning.
