The Tiny-F Virus

In our first issue we gave you the source for the Tiny-B virus.
Well some people don't quit.

After months of struggling Psyco-genius decided to give
his attempts to make this a good virus over to someone who

In Closing

Well that will do it for this issue. Sorry it took so damn long,
but screw it.

Next issue we will have more articals, more viruses, and all that.

We were supposed to have an interview with an Amiga virus writer
this issue but we just couldn't get it in time. Also we were
planning an interview with John Mcafee, but the same story there.

Also next issue, I hope to have the Bob Ross virus, from the
twisted mind of Dark Angel. And If I can find it, the DIR-2 virus
and The Teqeulla Virus, so I can't spell.

See you then.

COMMISSION for LIBERTIES
and INFORMATICS (*)

DATA PROTECTION AGENCY CREATED BY THE SPANISH COVERNMENT
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Government of the Kingdom of Spain approved on May 4th, 1993 the
Estatute of the Data Protection Agency (Agencia de Proteccion de Datos), the
body that, according to the Law on Protection of Personal Data (whose acronym
is LORTAD) approved by the Spanish Parliament in October 1992, will watch
over proper observance of this law.

According to its Estatute, the Agency is an independent body, headed
by its Director, who will be nominated by the Government among the members
of the Consultive Council. The Council will have nine members, elected for
a period of four years by the Congress, the Senate, the Ministry of Justice,
the Regional Governments, the Federation of Provinces and Cities, the Royal
Academy of History, the Council of Universities, the Council of Consumers and
Users, and the Council of Chambers of Commerce, respectively. Trade Unions
and DP Professionals will not be represented in spite of the proposals of
CLI, that also submitted one of having the Director nominated by the Council
itself instead of by the Government in order to insure the independence of
the Agency

Among the powers of the Agency are those of dictating fines of up to
1 Million US $ and sealing personal data files of companies and entities that
infringe the law. The Agency will the body representing Spain in the European
Community, the Council of Europe and the Schengen Agreement on free
circulation of people within the EC borders for all the matters regarding
personal data protection.

The Data Protection Agency will have to be created in the middle of a
sharp campaign for Congress and Parliament in elections that will be held on
June 6, whose outcome, according to the polls, will be very tight between the
ruling Socialist Party and the center-right People's Party, with a well
placed third party: United Left (a communist-led coalition). These two
parties gave strong support to the position of CLI with regard to the LORTAD
during its discussion in Congress and Senate.

CLI achieved in February its goal of seeing the appeal against the
Personal Data Law put before the Constitutional Court of Spain by the
Ombudsman, the Peoples' Party and the Regional Parliament of Catalonia. The
appeals address basically the concerns of CLI that the law establishes a lot
of unjustified exceptions in favour of Government with regard to the rights
that citizens have about their personal data. Even though the appeals don't
interrupt the application of the law since Jan. 31, they leave the door open
to its modification in the sense promoted by CLI.

Let's recall that Spain is one of the very few countries whose Carta
Magna foresees the dangers that can stem from misuse of Information
Technology. In fact, its Constitution establishes that a "law will limit the
use of Information Technologies in order to protect citizens' honour and
their personal and family privacy as well as the unrestricted exercise of
their rights" (article 18.4).

The position of CLI about the LORTAD can be summarized as follows:

- The law does not fulfill the expectations arisen, although it is a step
forward in comparison with the current situation of "allegality" that has
been a constant source of severe abuse against privacy;

- The good side of the law is the regulation of personal data files
in the hands of companies and private entities. Citizens will have
wide rights to access, modification and cancellation of this kind of
records.

- The bad side stems from the following facts:

a) The bill gives excessive and uncontrolled power to Policy Forces
over collection and computerization of highly sensitive data: ideology,
religion, beliefs, racial origin, health and sexual orientation.

b) Computerized personal data records in the hands of all branches
of Public Administrations will be in many cases excluded from the rights
(access, modification, cancellation) given to citizens with regard to
the same kind of data in the hands of private companies.

c) The Data Protection Agency that will watch over proper observance of
the law will have scarce autonomy from the Government, that will
nominate and dismiss its Director.

* SOME WORDS ABOUT CLI

The --Commission for Liberties and Informatics, CLI-- is an independent
and pluralistic organization that was officially constituted in April '91.

Its mission is to "promote the development and protection of citizens'
rights, specially privacy, against misuse of Information Technologies".

As of May '93, CLI is composed by nine organizations, with a joint
membership of about 3,000,000 people. They cover a very wide spectrum of
social interest groups: associations of computer professionals, judges, civil
rights leagues, trade unions, consumers groups, direct marketing industry,
etc.

CLI is confederated with similar bodies created in some other Spanish
Regions such as Valencia, Basque Country and Catalonia, and has fluid
working relationships with many public and private Data Protection bodies
and entities all over the world, including CNIL, CPSR and Privacy
International.

CLI has its headquarters in:

General Description:

Comparison of features and specifications

User Friendliness

Installation

Both automated and manual installation is provided.

Ease of use

BootX can be run from either the CLI or the Workbench. Once invoked it can
be made the "foreground task" by a "hot key" call. The program is menu
driven, with a comprehensive range of actions.

Help systems

Can use the AmigaGuide.library function if available.

Compatibility

Unknown but unlikely to cause problems. Some problems are noted with
Enforcer. Will work with certain compression programs to check compressed
executables.

Company Stability

Unknown, but this is currently one of the major recommended Amiga antivirals.
The program is distributed as freeware.

Company Support

The author's mail and email addresses are given, as well as contact info for
"Safe Hex International".

Documentation

Simple but straightforward directions on the installation and running of the
program. There is little general discussion of viral programs and operation,
but some is mentioned in conjunction with certain features of the program.
Unusually for a shareware/freeware package there is an extensive glossary
which may provide some background. (I learned, for instance, that a
"linkvirus" is the term for what is more generally known as a program or file
infecting virus).

System Requirements

512K RAM or higher and at least one disk drive. KickStart v2.04 and
ReqTools.library v38 or higher. Workbench v2.1 or higher to use the language
independence utility and v3.0 or higher to use the AmigaGuide.library help
feature. Various decompression programs may be needed to check compressed
executables.

Performance

Unknown at this time due to lack of a test suite. Currently one of the most
highly recommended Amiga antivirals.

Local Support

The author is reachable via Fidonet and Internet mail.

Support Requirements

Users experienced with using shareware should have no problems.

Final Anouncement

The
LOD
Legion of Doom
Is Back!

No that has not been a mis-print... the LOD has returned! The world's
greatest hacking group has formally been reinstated to bring back dignity
and respect to a scene that has rapidly deteriorated since its departure.

The LOD is not just another "Group" that goes around with upper/lower case
names, trading in PBX's and VMB's and wouldn't know COSMOS if it hit them
over the head. It's a sad day indeed when the term hacker is used to refer
to every code and credit card abusing rodent in the nation. We intend
through our presence and many innovative projects, not to mention the
technical journal to restore the original values of technical exploration
and knowledge that the term hacker was founded on.

The LOD imbodies the pinnacle of understanding that comes from relentless
exploration of the "system" backwards and forwards. It is an organization
dedicated to understanding the world's computer and telephone networks.
Enabling everyone to progress forward in technology. The accumulated product
of this--the Technical Journals, full of information unavailible anywhere
except from telco manuals represents something to valuable to lose.

[...] This will be the primary of purpose the new, revived LOD - the assembly
and release of a Technical Journal. The previous four issues, now several
years old BADLY need updating.

The Journal will rely heavily on reader submitted articles and information,
so anything you wish to contribute would be GREATLY appreciated. Acceptable
submitions would include ORIGINAL "how-to- guides" on various systems,
security discussions, technical specifications and doccumentation. Computer
and telephone related subjects are not the only ones acceptable. If you
remember the former journals had articles concerning interrogation, physical
security among others.

The next LOD Technical Journal will comprise almost entirely of freelance or
reader submitted articles. So without YOUR contributions it can not proceed!
Solid progress is being made in the next Technical Journal by both free-
lancers and group members. But bigger is better, as you can never have too
much information or instruction.

SEND UP ALL ORIGINAL ARTICLES FOR PUBLICATION!!!

If you wish to hold the wonderful honour of being an LOD Member (Won't
this look good on the resume), you may apply by contacting us. The
qualifications should need no elaboration.

Regardless of the unbased claims made by others, the LOD is as strong and
capable as it ever was. Legendary groups like the LOD are not born this way.
They take time to form, and restarting almost from scratch almost three years
later, time is obviously needed. We say to all the skeptics, hang on to your
premature judgements until we're on our feet and judge by actions not
opinions.

To set the record straight once and for all, and to convince the skeptics
that doubt the validity of all this, the Legion of Doom >IS< BACK. Next
month, a full-fledged Technical Journal will be widely released, and you're
doubts and questions will be once and for all answered with uncontestable
fact.

In addition to needing articles for the upcoming Journals, some sites on the
net to aid in distribution would also be welcomed. Someone willing to donate
the resources necessary to operate a subscription type mailing list service
is also needed. Send all offers and articles to our email account or PO Box.

Reach us at: [email protected]

Or by blindingly quick, faster than light mail at:

LOD
P.O. Box 104

Closing date for article submittions to the LOD Technical Journal
Number 5 is: Monday 14 June, 1993.

Release date: Friday 18 June, 1993.

Since we have no monetary or contractual obligation to anyone, these dates
are of course tentative. But since or at least initially we will rely almost
entirely on reader submitions a date is needed to get potential writers into
gear.

Note that the LOD does not engage or condone illegal or criminal activities.
This would cover, but is not limited to, theft of long distance services,
credit fraud or data destruction/alteration.
