40Hex Number 9 Volume 2 Issue 5                                       File 000

    Welcome to the ninth issue of 40 Hex!  This month brings lots of exciting
and neat-o stuff.  The feature article this month is Dark Angel's tutorial on
SYS infections.  As always, we have more virii news and more disassemblies and
yes, even more debug scripts.  A few quick notes:

    - Join PS/Net!  Contact your friendly neighborhood Phalcon/Skism sysop
      for details.

    - We have been copied extensively by virtually every virus group in
      existence and, with few exceptions, have not been given credit for
      our work.  It is getting tedious, to say the least, to reread what
      we have already written.  In the future, please don't be quite so
      lame.

    - Landfill is down again, but a new board, Liquid Euphoria, run by
      our newest member, Hawkmoon, has taken its place.  The board is
      stable and will not go down without warning, we promise!  Call it,
      love it, hold it as your own.  Special thanks to Hawkmoon for
      editing portions of 40Hex.

    - All are invited to contribute to 40Hex, be it in the form of an
      article, original virus, or whatever.  Contact a Phalcon/Skism
      board for details.

    - Finally, happy new year to all virus and anti-virus people everywhere!
      The new year promises to bring more nify innovations in both virii and
      viral toolkits from Phalcon/Skism.  Stay tuned.
