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.
