Berg) Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Subject: Re: Investigation of viruses on VAX-11 and Sun Message-ID: <12413336863.14.A.ERIC@GSB-WHY.Stanford.EDU> Date: 11 Jul 88 02:55:57 GMT References: <1649@erix.UUCP> Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: A.ERIC@GSB-HOW.STANFORD.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 25 In order to investigate the dangers of viruses, I tried to write one myself, thereby being able to study its behaviour under controlled conditions (of course !!). Unfortunately my efforts have not been very successful yet. If anyone has any experience with this, either on VAX or Sun, I would be grateful for anything you could contribute with. Any source codes, preferably in C or Assembler, are highly appreciated. If you consider the information to delicate to spread on Usenet, you are welcome to send me a private mail instead. [....] "I'm trying to write a virus, but I can't. So please send me one. So that I can improve our security here. Really, it's for a good cause." Right. I assume that no one who reads INFO-VAX will be silly enough to respond positively to this request. Eric M. Berg Computer Facility Graduate School of Business Stanford University -------
