VLAD is happy to introduce a brand new family of viruses. Meet the Incest Family! These four viruses represent our current abilities. We endeavour to learn, and you can learn with us by looking at our source! Order of completion: Brother Sister Daddy Mummy Brother is my first TSR virus and is therefore the first in the family. Sister is my first EXE infector. While coding it I developed some new Anti-AV code that seems to work fairly generically. The EXE infection code is pretty poor and uneconomical but it does work. Daddy is my best virus ever! I mastered some good new techniques. The EXE and COM infection were basically copied straight across from Brother and Sister. Check the simple Dir stealth routine - there's no reason YOUR virus shouldn't have one! Mummy is a research experiment. Hearing about what a spawning virus was (companion infector for all those who dont know) I decided to do one to add to my repetoir. This virus happily copies itself around your disks without harming a fly... If it does annoy you then just delete it! (You'll have to boot from a clean disk to do that because this one is hard to remove - pretty tricky for a spawner) What makes the Incest Family the Incest Family ? Well, that's because their unique function of passing the original int21h back through to other family members. That's the 'Incest' part! That means if Brother has got his hooks stuck into COMMAND.COM and Sister is loading up with some AV-TSR in memory that she will bypass it completely by fucking her big bro! Have fun with these specimens and just remember that spreading viruses is illegal and you shouldn't do it... Esspecially with Daddy which shouldn't be copied into an archive and uploaded to a lamer bbs because that would be wrong wouldn't it! :) Look forward to some more advanced viruses in Issue #2 of the VLAD mag as together we explore the operating system!
