T„L”N: Has been a virus writer for years, here's his background, in his
|
|
~~~~~ own words:
|
|
|
|
"Hi there, I am typing to you from the Newcastle, New South Wales,
|
|
Australia. I am not new to the virus scene, in fact I was a member of the
|
|
puppet group [PuKE].
|
|
|
|
Just a quick background on PuKE: it was set up about a year ago by Harry
|
|
McBungus (who wrote X-Fungus, No Frills 2.0 and No Frills 3.0, all
|
|
unremarkable) simply as a stuff-around, paying out on NuKE. Harry saw NuKE
|
|
getting large egos over large, non-resident direct-action viruses: in other
|
|
words he though they were idiots. Hence, PuKE endeavoured to write things
|
|
which compared to NuKE WareZ but on a far smaller code scale. The fruits of
|
|
Harry's labours were 'stolen' by myself, however, and that is how they grew
|
|
in the wild; otherwise they would not be around.
|
|
Although PuKE disliked NuKE, everything grows in stages, people mature, and
|
|
since then NuKE has evolved into the best Power Virus Group in the world.
|
|
|
|
(As a side note, Harry left the scene in around June 1992, as a result of
|
|
something called a Fraud squad. Good luck to Harry in whatever he is now
|
|
doing.)
|
|
|
|
I, T„L”N, defected to NuKE shortly after writing the Dudly virus (also
|
|
known as No Frills 4.0 and V2P6Z Mark 2, which was stolen off me by
|
|
someone hacking into my board. I had no intention of releasing it into the
|
|
wild. It's unremarkable besides its lame polymorphism, which is similar to
|
|
V2P6 in end result, not generation)
|
|
|
|
I have not added anything to the virus scene since the writing of Dudley-1,
|
|
but grew active a month ago with the creation of another, yet-to-be-named
|
|
virus, namely a 3k COM/EXE/SYS/BIN/OVL/MBR/BS infecting, polymorphic
|
|
stealth virus. It hides partition infection; it hides file size increase on
|
|
directory; it infects boot sectors of ANY floppy format, current or future,
|
|
on read/write access; it infects hard disk partition on infected disk boot
|
|
or infected file execution on virgin system, and so on. One mother of a
|
|
virus.
|
|
|
|
However, I have taken great care not to make it destructive in anyway, so
|
|
no stupid AV researcher can point the finger spin the typical anti-virus
|
|
rhetoric, 'Bad virus, bad virus, didn't you know every virus will destroy
|
|
precious hours of work.'
|
|
|
|
My opinions on AV researchers in general is very low. I take great pride in
|
|
totally debunking their theories and stereotypes. I am NOT a social
|
|
recluse. I do not have a sunken chest, nor am I fat or a cowardly
|
|
insignificance. I possess a fair degree of common sense. I do not go out of
|
|
my way to trash boards or computers; in fact I steer away from such things.
|
|
Furthermore, I do not view virus writing or the discussion of viruses a
|
|
taboo subject.
|
|
|
|
Most of all I do not try to keep the public in the dark about what viruses
|
|
can and cannot do. Harry McBungus shared basically the same views but when
|
|
he tried to speak out and 'educate' the public, he instead got nailed by
|
|
the press. (The media is another of my pet hates.)
|
|
|
|
Anyway I have lost patience with hierarchy and bureaucracy... and the
|
|
media, the government and the public can basically suck John McAfee's dick
|
|
while he laughs all the way to the bank. We have provided and income for
|
|
John for long enough, it's time to make SCAN look like the total crock of
|
|
shit that it has always been.
|
|
|
|
Before I leave, just a few quick hi's, ho's and 'thanks' to:
|
|
John McAfee: Fuck You
|
|
Patricia 'It is unknown what this virus does besides replicate' Hoffman:
|
|
How about you get a clue before you make out you're the big-wig
|
|
virus analyzer. VSUM is the biggest farce since ViruScan itself.
|
|
Sara Gordon: for all the laughs your ridiculous psychological theories
|
|
about virus writers gave me. Try a bit harder.
|
|
Matt: for all the cool times we had. The legend of the 50-cent piss-up
|
|
will never leave my memory banks.
|
|
Pantera, Metallica: for providing an awesome soundtrack for virus
|
|
development!
|
|
and to NuKE for making everything possible.
|
|
|
|
T„L”N/NuKE"
