                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...
