Interview-questions -------------------- 1. Tell us something about you (country, age, whatever else,.. :) im from scotland (uk), age 17. 2. Why did you choose your handle and has it a special meaning? It just popped into my head when i was coding and its stuck ever since 3. When was your first contact with a computer? It was a acorn bbc 8bit machine i think, back when i was at primary school lol 4. What was your first contact with the genre 'virus'? it was PE_CIH (Chernobyl) and then that got me intrested in coding. 5. How long have you been in the VX scene? ive been intrested in viruses since i was first infected by Chernobyl about a year ago but i have only just started coding about 4 months ago 6. How did you make your way in the VX Scene ? By using vbs generators i learnt how to code simple vbs worms then i moved on to vb6.0 and released merkur wich is doing quite well throught p2p. 7. How do you see the virus scene? Past, present and future... I have not been apart of it long but the scene moves fast and im enjoying ever moment of it. 8. Which programming languages do you know? vbs, vb, php, html, java, a little c++ and im learning asm. 9. How many viruses have you coded ? 6-7 but only 2 are in the wild 10. How do you spread your viruses? :o) mainly p2p, mapi and smtp 11. Are any of you viruses in the wild? yes, w32.hllw.merkur@mm is spreading at the moment and also calposa (poscal) but that was never ment to be in the wild as its not finished.... 12. How do you name your viruses? It comes from alot of things but as most coders know they sometimes never get the name they gave the virus any way as AVers see that as credit to the coder. but i name them depending on the code, what its function is and what ever pops into my head at that time. 13. Do you have any new ideas for viruses you want to write in the near future? yes, im writing a worm that will attempt to write to cdr using windows xp 14. Which was your best virus you ever coded til yet? emm well merkur but its buggy as hell lol 15. Which viruses do you think are the viruses of the next generation ? multiplatform has to be the way as more and more people are using linux, freebsd ect... 16. What did you think about destructive payloads in viruses ? They can be good and bad but it all depends on they way they are used. i sometimes like to add a little bit of destruction to my code :) 17. Which payloads did you try in your viruses? Any special one? yeah one that deletes all media files eg .jpg .mpg .gif .bmp .avi in the kazaa shared folder (in a bid to try and delete child porn but i have had ideas of a virus that will do that any way without deleting just any old media file it will actualy search for child porn files on the computer and remove them hehe but its only an idea at the moment it might become my next project....) 18. What is your oppinion about virus construction kits? I like them as i started off learning with them but there is only somuch i can take with them as alot of people use them and claim that that is there virus just by pressing a few buttons... 19.
