Synonyms: Load Runner, Apple II GS Virus
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Date of Origin: July, 1989.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Place of Origin: France.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Host Machine: Apple II GS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Host Files: Boot block virus
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Increase in Size of Infected Files: n/a
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Nature of Damage: Erases boot blocks of disk in slot 5, drive 1. No
|
|||
|
|
files are damaged.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The damage done by this virus is minimal --it destroys only the boot
|
|||
|
|
blocks of a 3.5" disk (5.25" disks and hard disks seem to be immune),
|
|||
|
|
leaving all the files and directories intact (it can, however, render
|
|||
|
|
some copy-protected games unusable). LOAD RUNNER has a finite life-span
|
|||
|
|
built in -- at the same time it starts damaging, it also stops
|
|||
|
|
propagating, and being a boot block virus, it destroys copies of itself
|
|||
|
|
when it destroys the boot blocks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Virus copies itself to $E1/BC00 thru $E1/BFFF. Virus resides in the
|
|||
|
|
boot blocks of a 3.5" disk. Copies itself to $E1/BC00 when disk is
|
|||
|
|
booted. Copies itself to disk in slot 5, drive 1 when
|
|||
|
|
CONTROL-APPLE-RESET is pressed. Propagation routine gains control by
|
|||
|
|
patching undocumented system vector in Memory Manager. Original boot
|
|||
|
|
blocks are not saved --virus contains code to emulate standard boot
|
|||
|
|
process. Infects disks in slot 5, drive 1 only. Infection of disks
|
|||
|
|
occurs when CONTROL-APPLE-RESET is pressed. Infection of host machine
|
|||
|
|
occurs when an infected disk is booted.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Triggered by any date between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 inclusive, of any
|
|||
|
|
year. Damage occurs when an infected disk is booted. If damage occurs,
|
|||
|
|
further infection will not occur. (Note that the damage process wipes
|
|||
|
|
the virus off of the infected disk.)
