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 (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-less) - 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) - 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...
