Swiftware 0.98 Virus: ---------------------- A very special kind of virus. It is copying the sysoppassword from an AmiExpress BBS system into a little file, which can only be read if you enter the system with 300 baud (NOCALLERSAT300). Nearly all users have at least 2400 baud(in most cases this is too slow for the BBS and you get no access) and so nearly nobody reads it. The hacker just have to call the BBS with 300 baud and he gets the sysop password. I heard that all this programms(the virus) was created by one coder in the south of GERMANY, who runs a big BBS but I cannot give more detailed informations this time. Comment 19.04.93.: I spoke with one of the coders of the viruses and he said that the virus is now avaible in version 16.00 .The last virus I recieved was version V11.0. He told me that more than 70 infected file exist.Lots of work to do for us... Many $4eb9 files are trojan horses. The coder of this viruses (or his friend=an Assembler expert) use very often a special linker, which creates such files. Test by Markus Schmall [Go back]
