40hex #4 - Dec 1991: The Ultimate Virus Programmer's Toolkit

40Hex Issue 4 December 1991

The Ultimate Virus Programmers Toolkit


Just thought it would be funny to list what I think is the ulitmate virus programmers toolkit. Theroys may vary.
  • Turbo Assembler (MASM sucks, and it is slow)
  • Turbo Debugger(It rules, what else can I say?)
  • Quick Edit (Small, Fast and Turbo-like keys)
  • Sourcer 486 ver 4.54(The ONLY real dissembler out)
  • Virus Scan by McAffe Asst. (It really is a great tool)
  • VSUM (Patti Hoffman is a stupid bitch, but I must admit, this program is the virus underground bible)
  • VSAFE from Central Point Anti-Virus (Not as annoying as Flu-Shot)
  • Pklite Proffesional(If you don't have it - get it)
  • Norton 6.0 (Diskedit alone is worth the d/l time)
  • Pc-Backup by Central Point (we all fuck up sooner or later)
  • MEMWALK.EXE (great shareware program, like diskedit for memory)
  • Teledisk (for boot block virus saves)
  • Trunc - by Skism Programming (Electronic file shredder)
  • Microsoft Press Quick Reference Series - DOS Functions (INT 20 - 26) - ROM and BIOS functions (INT 10, 15 - 16) - MS DOS extentions (Expaned, extended memory interupts)
  • Undocumented DOS or any current text file on the subject-
  • 40HEX magazine (Well I do have good stuff here, sometimes)
  • Dark Angel's Phunky Virus writing guide (pretty hard to come by. He expalins stuff well)
  • The following source code:
    • Leprosy-B(beginers only on this one, none-the-lesss
    • Cancer (well documented, intermediate)
    • Tiny-F (not bad intro to .COM infections)
    • Dark Avenger (well availible and excellent tips on .EXE infection)
    • Stoned II (boot block intro)
    • Secure 2.0 (I got the source to this. It is a virus detection system from the guy who wrote 1260, Mark Washburn. The source has some great examples on debug trapping, TSR skills, and encryption)
    • IBM Scan source (I have this too, it's funny... Kinda like McAfee's SCAN but lamer By David Chess)
  • VX-Underground!!!
  • An account on the Bulgerian Virus Exchange +359-220-4198
  • An account on a BBS with Fido-Nets' virus echo (keep track of your latest score)
  • Many accounts on the Homebase BBS (408) 988-4004 2400 bps (408) 988-5138 HST 9600 (408) 988-5190 v32 9600 (Tell Areyh I sent ya')
  • Scientific Calculator (Hex aint easy)
  • Vivaren (Helps you break night, or any other controlled substance)
  • Food, smokes, or whatever your vice is...

That'll do it...
