============================================================================ == History == ============================================================================ TO DO: ------ - Remove Penetrator 2001 from memory. - Add Neurotic Death 1 - 5. These five linkviruses are polymorphic, but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files. It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment. - Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :( xvs.library 33.34 (size: 58.424 bytes) - Replaced the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 detection/removal code. Thanks to Georg Hörman for writing a better code ;) - Cleaned up some code. Got some tips from Georg. So the library is a bit smaller now... - For developers: Added XVSLIST_DATAVIRUSES to xvsCreateVirusList() so that you can view data viruses as well. xvs.library 33.33 (size: 59.756 bytes) - Fixed 2 bugs in Hitch-Hiker 5.00 removal + improved checking. Thanks to Thomas Klein for reporting the bugs. - Removed Sinister Syndicate 1/2 and French from the bootblock recog. They were harmless. Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for telling me. xvs.library 33.32 (size: 59.824 bytes) - Argh... Fixed major bug in Hitch-Hiker 5.00 removal. The virus was removed, but the file was not fixed. Thanks to Jean Holzammer for reporting this bug. xvs.library 33.31 (size: 59.824 bytes) - Improved the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 Link virus. Should be able to detect 99.9% of this virus now... Thanks to Jan Andersen and Treveur BRETAUDIERE for the files - Fixed bug in recog for Bastard Installer 1 File virus - Added recog for 'EICAR STANDARD AV-TEST FILE' This is not a virus, but a testfile that can be found on http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm The purpose of this test file is to check that your favourite anti virus program really finds it! Deep inside arhcives etc... PS! This is a data file, so you might turn on the 'data file checking' in your virus killer. Thanks to Sami Rautiainen for telling me about this file. xvs.library 33.30 (size: 58.140 bytes) - Added Jode Capullos 2 Trojan file virus Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for the file - Renamed MKG to Jode Capullos 1 - Added Hitch-Hiker 5.00 Installer file virus This is the same for all three link viruses - Added Hitch-Hiker 5.00 Link virus Added Hitch-Hiker 5.00a Link virus Added Hitch-Hiker 5.00b Link virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the HH5 files. xvs.library 33.29 (size: 56.928 bytes) - Added MKG Trojan File virus Thanks to Golds for the file. - xvs.library has changed name... from: The eXternal Virus Support Library to: The eXternal Virus Scanner Library xvs.library 33.28 (size: 56.828 bytes) - Fixed bug in the memory check routine for Smeg2 Thanks to Luca, Harry and Dirk for telling me about this bug. It will not happen again! xvs.library 33.27 (size: 56.828 bytes) - Added Penetrator 2001 Link virus Thanks to Krzysztof Duda for the files. - Added CCCP Clone Bootblock virus Thanx to Mr Yoard for sending me this bootblock - Fixed bug in recognition code for DKG-Blum file virus again! Thanks to Urban Mueller for reporting this. - Added Smeg2a Installer File virus Thanks to Antonio De Cicco for the file. - Added Smeg2a Link virus - Added Smeg2b Link virus Thanks to Zeeball for the files. xvs.library 33.26 (size: 55.700 bytes) - Added Bobek2 Link virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files. Thanks to Zeeball for the memory removal routines. - Added Expl0de Trojan Link virus Added Expl0de Trigger File virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files. - Renamed 8x8 Link to Motaba-3 xvs.library 33.25 (size: 54.168 bytes) - Added Zakahackandpatch File virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files. - Added Bobek! Link virus Thanks to Jan Andersen, Frank and Zeeball for the files. - Added Bastard Installer 1 Data virus Bastard Installer 2 File virus Bastard Link virus Thanks Jan Andersen and Zeeball for the files. Thanks to Zeeball for the info on this virus and for the decrypt and memory removal routines. - Added 212 Bytes Link virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the file. - Fixed bug in recognition code for DKG-Blum file virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for reporting this. - Added Bobek2 Installer File virus Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for telling me about this file. - The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Jan Erik Olausen) will continue developement. See the README file for my contact address. Thanks to Georg Hörmann and Dirk Stöcker for helping me out with fixing bugs in the source. I couldn't have done this without there help :o) xvs.library 33.24 (size: 52.916 bytes) - Added 4kIntro Trojan Thanks to Ryben Kozlak and Jan Andersen - Added Dkg-Blum Trojan Thanks to Peter Gordon, Urban Mueller and Jan Andersen NOTE: This trojan also replaces/deletes or adds a file called asi.library XVS will not (yet) be able to detect this file because as far as I could analyze it, it looked like a normal VideoTracker file. If XVS would have to see this as a virus, more VideoTracker files will be fake detected. If you have problems or want this added anyway let me know. xvs.library 33.23 (size: 52.868 bytes) - Added Port 4097 Installer (LoadWB) virus Thanks to Zeeball for the files No memory infection found yet, might be added later if one is found. - Added Port 4097 Trojan (RexxFifo.Library) virus Thanks to Zeeball for the file No memory infection found yet, might be added later if one is found. - Added Port 2421 Installer virus (Jizzer) Thanks to Zeeball for the file No additional memory or file infection found yet, might be added later if one is found. - Added Port 2421 Trojan (Mount) virus No additional memory or file infection found yet, might be added later if one is found. These viruses create TCP/IP ports in memory. If a file infected with one or more of these viruses is found on your system, chances are that these ports are open already. For now, you should let the xvs.library remove the virus and then reset your Amiga. (Which is always a good idea after detecting a virus, but that aside of the subject) The ports should then be gone. xvs.library 33.22 (size: 52.732 bytes) - Added 8x8 Link virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen, Chill and Zeeball for the files. Thanks to Heiner Schneegold for the info on this virus. xvs.library 33.21 - Added YamPPCpatch Trojan. When so called "patched" a file called "cedmacros" is put in your "S:". Aferwards, when you press specific buttons in CED ("a", "q", etc.) some lame text is placed in the text you are editing. Highly annoying. The library recognises the "patch" and it's installer. Thanks to Jan Andersen for supplying it to me. Thanks to Urban Mueller for reporting it to Jan Andersen. - Changed position of DoubleDensity bootblock virus in virus list. Wasn't sorted alphabetically properly. - Fixed MUI 4.0 (clickforcolors) entry to a smaller entry (too big a name for some virus killers) xvs.library 33.20 - Quickly fixed the naming of the MUI 4.0 fake. I accidentally named it Miami 4.0 for some reason. Thanks for Dirk Stöcker for noticing this - Placed the Amos Joshua trojans at the right place in the list for programs that don't sort the virus list before outputting to the user xvs.library 33.19 - Added Zakapior trojan virus and it's Dropper, thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Added Amos Joshua trojan virus and it's Dropper, thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Added Amos Joshua Clone virus and it's Dropper, thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Added MUI 4.0 trojan virus and installer, thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Added AmigaE include modules to archive, including a small example. The modules and example were created by Andrew Cashmore (aj.cashmore@ukonline.co.uk) - The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Alex van Niel) will continue developement. See the README file for my contact address. xvs.library 33.18 - Fixed bug in recognition code for Elbereth 1 - 4 and Disnomia linkviruses. Some copies have not been detected correctly. Thanks to Dran/Chew-Z for the report and the testfiles. - Added additional verification code for pseudo-executables like 'Scalos.key' starting with $3f3 even if they are datafiles. Thanks to Ramon for the report. xvs.library 33.17 - Added 'STD Crabs #1' linkvirus and its Dropper. Thanks to Jan Andersen and David Knell for sending them. - Added 'STD Vaginitis #1' linkvirus and its Dropper. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Added 'STD Vaginitis #2' linkvirus, its Dropper and 'STD Vaginitis #3' filevirus. Thanks to Jan Andersen and Jesper Svennevid for sending them. xvs.library 33.16 - Added another security mechanism that should bring up an alert if xvs.library has been modified in length (what usually all viruses do). If such an alert pops up on your computer, please perform a file check with VirusZ on 'xvs.library' in your libs: drawer. The library will therefore no longer refuse to work when it's (possibly) infected. - Oh my god, why am I such an idiot? While analyzing Polish Power linkvirus, it suddenly came to my mind: The polymorphic code of Polish Power is exactly the same as the one Antonio uses. I just had to fix some small routines in the repair code, and now both dangerous linkviruses will be recognized :-) xvs.library 33.15 - My Christmas gift for you: Recognition and repair code for the 'Antonio' linkvirus (that's how I call it!). It uses the ugliest polymorphism I have seen so far, but I nevertheless did it in just 2 days. If there appear infected files that cause problems, please send them to me immediately (by email if possible). Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending me this virus so quickly. xvs.library 33.14 - Added 'Datatypes.Library Trojan'. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending this Miami backdoor. - Please note my new email address in the README file. xvs.library 33.13 - Added Mad_Roger Short linkvirus. - Added Robby bootvirus. Thanks to Peter Lindberg for this really old stuff. It's from 1988 and I've never seen it before!!! - Added 'C' developper files. Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for creating them. xvs.library 33.12 - Added new linkvirus: Fungus/LSD. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending this stuff. xvs.library 33.11 - Added new viruses: UnpackJPEG Trojan, LOBO Simple, LOBO Weird and its Installer. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending the viruses and Dran/Chew-Z for sending them to Jan. - Finally released the developper files (include, autodoc, fd etc.) to the public. It's time now to give other skilled coders the opportunity to develop their own viruskillers... xvs.library 33.10 - Added the rest of the missing viruses from VTC (see below): 666!-Trojan, Mosh 1.0, Promoter 1, Purge Dropper, Purge Trojan, TDTJ Trojan, SehrJung Dropper, SehrJung Trojan, Nibbler 1.0ß Link, Nibbler Installer, New Age (bad linkvirus, can only be deleted). - Added recognition for 666!-Trojan damages to sector check code. - Added recognition for files damaged by Cute Little Ponnies and Inspector X of A.L.F. - Added AmigaRAR.exe Fake, a packed version of Gathering '95 that cannot be decrunched by xfdmaster.library at the moment. I will add the cruncher as soon as possible to xfd.lib, then the extra recognition is no longer needed. Thanks to Jan Andersen for this packed trojan. xvs.library 33.9 - Finally I contacted Soenke Freitag of VTC Hamburg and asked him to send me the old but still missing viruses from their test. I added the following viruses until now: AHM Keymaker 1.1, BBS Blieb6, Miami Fake, BBS MegaMon, DumDum 2, BBS CLP/InspectorX, BootX Updater, Buzz Bomb MKI, Hexer/Bea 1, Hexer/Bea 2, Hexer/Bea 3, Conman Format, Compuphagozyte 13, Disk.info Bomb, Joshua 3 and Christmas Violator. There are still more to come, I will add them (hopefully) in the following 2 or 3 weeks. Special thanks go to Soenke Freitag for the good cooperation and all the work he had with sending me the virus collection. Thanks must go to Markus Schmall and Jan Andersen too for giving Soenke the permission to submit the viruses to me (most of them were NDA). - Added MaxDoorControl + Lib. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it. xvs.library 33.8 - Added Mad Roger bootvirus and WAWE trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending the trojan. xvs.library 33.7 - Did some internal reworking for better performance. - Added bootblock viruses: AHC, Gadaffi 2, Virus Slayer 6.12. - Added recognition for files damaged by Lisa FuckUp 2.0. - Fixed removal code for ZIB linkvirus. Now detects all files that have been infected by the installer directly. - Added recognition for Doom_CLX Trojan, CompuPhagoLink and X-Ripper 1.1. Special thanks for sending all the above mentioned viruses are going to Jan Andersen. VirusZ did not recognize these viruses at the time when the VTC-Test 1998 took place, therefore the ranking of VirusZ in this test would be even better right now. xvs.library 33.6 - Added HappyNewYear 96/2 clone, HNY 96/3 clone + installer and Sepultura bootblock virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for submitting them. xvs.library 33.5 - Fixed bug in 'Smeg' recognition. Thanks to Thomas Richter for the tests and the report. - Added 'MKey.exe Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it to me. - Added 'HANF' linkvirus. This nasty bastard took me a lot of time. Thanks to Ralph Bernecker and Jan Andersen for sending it to me. xvs.library 33.4 - Added 'ReOrgIt Fake' trojan. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending it to me. xvs.library 33.3 - Added new viruses: 'Death To Maxs' 1-4 trojans. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending them. - Rewritten some memory checking routines for safer execution. xvs.library 33.2 - Just did a little fix in the memory checking code. Some strange patches haven't been accepted. xvs.library 33.1 - Moved all virus recognition and removal code from VirusZ to this library. Several support routines have been rewritten or designed totally new.
