40Hex Issue 10 Volume 3 Number 1 File 000 Welcome back to yet another issue of 40Hex, Phalcon/Skism's magazine chock full of virus writing techniques, news, source code, and related info. First off, Phalcon/Skism welcomes its newest member, FirstStrike. We have watched him grow from humble beginnings and are confident that he will continue to produce quality viruses in the future. We will, beginning with this issue, be phasing out the debug scripts in 40Hex. Although many people find them useful, we feel that source code is more interesting and worthwhile. The disassemblies are almost always done by Dark Angel, who advises those with difficulty understanding some parts of the disassemblies to first skim the entire disassembly to learn how the virus works. Some portions, he continues, are not commented because their functions are self-evident and the label names reflect their respective purposes. In the spirit of friendly competition, we have, in this issue, the Ontario 3 virus written by Death Angel of YAM. While on the topic of YAM, we find it immensely amusing that they continue to adamantly state on FidoNet and elsewhere that the IVP was not a mere hack of PS-MPC. Ok, it was a rewrite in Pascal, but the only significant changes were in the labels; even the comments were remarkably familiar. Please cease this farce; you are fooling nobody. 40Hex-10 Table of Contents March 13, 1993 File Description 0000............................You are here 0001............................Virus creation aids 0002............................Phalcon/Skism Shiny Happy virus 0003............................RNA virus source code 0004............................ARCV Busted 0005............................Green Caterpillar Debug Script 0006............................Virus Spotlite: Bad Boy 2 0007............................A Case Against Encryption 0008............................Ontario 3 source code 0009............................40Hex Survey Greets to: NuKE, The Attitude Adjuster, and all virus enthusiasts around the world.
