|
|

|
|
Synonyms: Saratoga 1, Icelandic, One in Ten, Disk Crunching Virus.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Date of Origin: June, 1989.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Place of Origin: Iceland.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Host Machine: PC compatibles.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Host Files: Remains resident. Infects EXE files.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Increase in Size of Infected Files: 642 bytes. A variant adds 656 bytes.
|
|||
|
|
Another grows by 671 bytes. File lengths after infection are divisible
|
|||
|
|
by 16.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Nature of Damage: Affects system run-time operation. Corrupts program
|
|||
|
|
files.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Detected by: Scanv56+, F-Prot, Pro-Scan.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Removed by: CleanUp, Scan/D, or F-Prot.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Scan Code: Infected files always end with 44 18 5F 19. You can also
|
|||
|
|
search at offset 0C6H for 2E C6 06 87 02 0A 90 50 53 51.

The Icelandic virus was first detected in June, 1989, disassembled a
|
|||
|
|
week later, and the disassembly was made available around the beginning
|
|||
|
|
of July. The basic Icelandic virus is a resident EXE-file infector that
|
|||
|
|
infects every second EXE file executed, and sometimes will mark a free
|
|||
|
|
cluster on a hard disk as bad (the "damage" routine).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Icelandic virus will copy itself to the top of free memory the
|
|||
|
|
first time an infected program is executed. Once in high memory, it hides
|
|||
|
|
from memory mapping programs. If a program later tries to write to this
|
|||
|
|
area of memory, the computer will crash. If the virus finds that some
|
|||
|
|
other program has "hooked" Interrupt 13, it will not proceed to infect
|
|||
|
|
programs. If Interrupt 13 has not been "hooked", it will attempt to
|
|||
|
|
infect every 10th program executed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The virus attaches itself to the end of the programs it infects, and
|
|||
|
|
infected files will always end with "4418,5F19"H.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On systems with 12-bit FATs (floppy drives or 10 MB hard disks), the
|
|||
|
|
virus will not cause any damage. However, on systems with 16-bit FATs
|
|||
|
|
(hard disks larger than 10 MB), the virus will select one unused FAT
|
|||
|
|
entry and mark the entry as a bad sector each time it infects a program.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is likely that as of this writing, the virus has not been detected
|
|||
|
|
outside of Iceland. Several variants are known, including Saratoga 2,
|
|||
|
|
Icelandic Virus Version 2, and MIX1. See also the table.<Note: Prepared
