SCAN REPORTS FROM ISSUE #1 ========================== This text will be about the Mcafee Scan. Everybody who've changed on a virus a bit just to fool his scan, knows that he gets kinda pissed of on you! And when he don't know who you're he can't get his revenge. So, the question is how he gets his revenge? Well, we (Metal Militia), mutated 6 viruses, which purpose was just to be "renaissanced". He succeded in fool Scan (v106 which was the latest one then, and Dr Alan Salomons FindViru 6.20). Then we released completely source codes to all the viruses in the first issue, which was very well spread in countries as Sweden/ Usa/Netherlands/etc/etc..So, we can suppose that many people actually have some virus sources now, and hopefully will people continue spread/mutatate/hack the sources we included in the first issue of Insane Reality. I really don't think he likes all hacks or mutated viruses of the simple reasons that they often cause just as much damage as completely new ones (If the virus then have pretty similar effects). The different between a hack and a brand new virus, is that the new one takes much more time to finish, and not that many are cabable to code it. Then anyhow, he released his scanv107 about 3-4 weeks after we released our first issue, and guess what?..A new "string" for our mutations had been added, and well, I suppose he can't use our "own" mutations names in his "virlist", but %œ?!, what a bore he really is! I'll give you some examples...We (or well me then:)) "labeled" the mutations after six very good Metallica texts, and well, here is what they were called.. And justice for all, Misery, Fade to black, Fight fire with Fire, Senseless destructions, and The thing that should not be. Then little John found the most boring mutation names I've ever heard, the "mutations" became Leprosy 564 [OW], Bad Brains 2 [OW], 7th Son 473 [7SON], Creeperc [CreepC], and Bad Boy 3 [BB3]. I know you can't get your "own" virus name because you just mutate a virus, but Hey!, that's not my demand! I want some "colored" names, for example Leprosy [IR1] or something like that, but well, you can't get it all, can you? Note!, his scan v107 did "just" find five of our six mutations, he forgot to add the 808 mutation called "...justice for all" in his v107 and v108!!. I don't know why, I know that the virus works, and if someone (ab)use it, it might cause some trouble..Really hopes so...John will regret what he often forgets. So, now in this issue, some (or huh?) "new" (scratch) viruses are included, The first is just a non-resident overwriting virus, but if his fucking scanner finds it later as some "MINI-300" or similar, I'll just kill him! All overwriting viruses are pretty similar eachother, but well, I rather would like to call the "copying" overwriting viruses to C-OW:ing ones (Copying Overwriting ones), anyone who agree with me? Metal's non-overwriting RES/COM and RES/COM/EXE is now finished to. And then I don't want to see some "untrue" names on them. The viruses are called EXTASY! and RAVAGE!, and if he labels them to some fucking mutation name, he'll fucking die..Metal got _SOO_ many viruses under production, so I don't really know a shit what he's doing right now (sounds strange eh?). Our last mutations was just a few bytes code-changing, but what if the whole infect-routine, encrypt/decrypt/install/etc routine are changed, you've just kept some others routine, for example (sounds strange this but anyway), if you have "stolen" the infect routine (non-overwriting stuff), from one virus, the encrypt/decrypt routine from one, the install to memory from one, and the "infect identification" from one?.. What will the AV-poeple then do?..Huh?..Say that it's some sort of hack virus from A,B,C,D and E virus?..nah!..that don't work! Someone tell me! I don't know?? Will be some "new" virus, right? Anyway..If you reads this John..Enjoy! Then the magazine is very well spread around. And that's exactly what we wants! So..get around names right (I've spend some time figuring some "nice" names out), and I really hate time wasting! Thats's all.. = THE UNFORGIVEN =
