40Hex Issue 4 December 1991 The Bob Ross Virus This is the infamous Bob Ross virus by Dark Angel of Phalcon/Skism. Here's a bit from the author first. The Funky Bob Ross Virus Version 1.0 Written by Dark Angel / 26 September 1991 / (c) 1991 PHALCON/SKISM Co-op Effective length: 1125, Resident length: 672 bytes DEDICATION: This virus was written expressedly to 1) Piss off Patty Hoffman, John McAffee, Ross Greenberg, and all the other guru-wanna-bes in this world. 2) Spread the message of The Almighty Bob, and so enrichen the lives of people all over the world. 3) Show off (Now I can tell people that I wrote a virus!) WHAT THIS IS: This is a self-encrypting, non-overwriting COM infector. It doesn't do anything to EXE files. File sizes increase by 1117 bytes. It goes off on July 9th of any year or after 7 infection "waves." WHAT IT DOES WHEN IT GOES OFF: The virus goes memory resident and prints out a Bobism every 5 minutes. It then enters a delay loop for approximately 5 seconds, allowing for a brief moment of silence while the victim reads Bob's holy message. The virus will not destroy anything. The virus will not go TSR if it finds another copy of itself in memory. Well, here it is, the hex dump, by now you should know how to compile it from the hex dump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- n bob-ross.com e 0100 FF 26
