MOOSE - a new michelangelo affair ? =================================== It has now gone about four months since the person(s) responsible for the computers on the campus of the Chalmers Technical Highschool made their decision to cry out in fear for what they thought was a resident polymorphic bootsector/.exe/.com/.sys infector. This was partly true (it actually infected exe's, com's & sys files), but it wasn't either resident, boot-sector infecting or polymorphic (haha! what a fuckup statement, geee.. :)) And besides that, the .sys-files hang.. But the new information, didn't came from him, instead it came from John McAfee who had disassembled the virus, and except for the above, he came up with a few different strains, like MOOSE 30, 31 and 32, and on the .sys-files it overwrote the stack (the cause of the fuckups). It moved up-wards with the "dot-dot" style, and it might change a random byte in the infected file being executed, which can cause some chaos, if it hits "the right place(s)". This was done by taking a random address, as target. Later down in the text i will translate a message from Swedish to English concerning this MOOSE thing. This was anyhow all over each and everyone of them computers, so the guy must have spread it a bit. He also found (this time Lars Renman) that infections hadn't just occured there, but on students homecomp's aswell. (gee! just spread it in some lousy game and give it to *.* of them non-understanding geeks and *WOW!* Anyhow, when the latest F-PROT BULL arrived (BULL-210.???) there was some articles about the new laws and one ESPECIALLY for MOOSE.. This made me very suprised and that may change my mind about infecting others than the public PD-systems and such. Why not spread it like hell instead and make them people respect you, right? (now i'm not meaning to infect Chalmers but anyhow..) And as usually Patricia hasn't taken it with in VSUM, since she hates all non-americans/canadians. She also never includes viruses from people that has something against her way of making descriptions. (like us) Too bad that some people can't take critics.. They are LOOSERS.. I'm thinking of making a VSUM-virus, just to see if she takes it with or not. But that's lame, and she wouldn't write about it anyways. She thinks her think is the best, so i tell her this, that there's and old saying that dreamers has no chance, since the world kills them. Grow up Patricia! It's time for that now. Learn to program a bit, disassemble everything yourself, and start discussing things on the Inter and Fido nets. I have nothing against you in person, but your attitude makes me wanna puke! (gaaack!) Now, back to MOOSE. I don't understand why it has been given so much publicity.. so that's why i tried to get an interview with the "famouse" person that found it at first (the Reindeerman :)), but he seemed to be "out of state", so if it doesn't show up in this issue, i simply didn't caught him. = METAL MILITIA =
