    I actually almost got my computer infected with Sasser back in 2005, however, I had a quite old, but well updated, Panda antivirus (back when it was good), which stopped Sasser from infecting my system, and put it in the quarantine bin. I already knew about Sasser from the news, so seeing it in my computer was both frightening, and very exciting. It increased my interest for computers, systems, software and malware. Thanks to little moments like this I'm a server technician today.

However, due to a coding bug, it multiplied and multiplied until the computer drives were full of copies of the monitor program.

    I always wondered if Wannacry or other such viruses actually did encrypt anything. I remember seeing a couple viruses just like that demanding $300 or something in MoneyPak form around 2012 or so. It was annoying but you could reliably remove them without harming your computer by just going into safe mode. Nothing seemed "Encrypted" to me.

  • @reallyWyrd
    @reallyWyrd 5 років тому +12

    Once upon a time, I dabbled in the *idea* of writing viruses including "good guy" viruses. But I had already reached the conclusion that a virus could never really *be* "good" regardless of its creator's intent. The only winning move is not to play.
    But I did attempt to look at some code of an actual virus one time.
    It was very hard to follow. I'm trying to read it in the disassembler , and it wasn't making sense. Eventually I realized that was because the code was set up to jump part way through a jump instruction right at the start, and then a lot of that again throughout.

    4:21 I was wondering if you'd mention THAT one. I got that on one of my disks in 1988 from playing video games and sharing floppies. Noticed that the bootup didn't sound right, used DOS Debug to look at the disk sectors, wrote a small Pascal program to remove the "Brain" virus. (same goes for the "stoned"(b) virus). 5:10 the "brain" virus did do SOME damage; it moved the boot record to part of the directory sectors, so if your disk had lots of files, some of them would be lost.

    Slightly before your first example, "Creeper," was the "Cookie Monster" that affected Multics systems in 1970.

    Multics was the second time-sharing system and the one that inspired Bell Labs employees to invent Unix. I think that the Cookie Monster couldn't self-reproduce, however, since the "lock screen" was invented as a countermeasure. Don't leave your terminal logged in!

    "Phil! You gotta help me! Someone LOVES me!" a fat, nerdy guy runs in saying.
    "Someone ... loves ... you....?" he says... trailing off to infinity...
    "Yes! They sent me an email with an attachment, but then my computer went blank..."
    Then everyone's computer goes out. So vacation is cancelled or no job to come back to when its done... And common knowledge at the time could take even a top guy weeks to be sure its gone...

    My friends Amiga 500 got the byte bandit virus in about 1992 stealing half if its 512KB every soft reset so games didn't load saying this game needs 512KB of ram
    Turns out he got it from an inflected game he got from a computer shop
    Both him and the shop never flicked the write protect tab on any of the floppy disks
    I had to go in to the shop and fix all the disks, they were clueless even though they changed loads to service computers
    I was so temped to run my virus killer and xcopy at the same time lol. But I was too honest

      Are you sure it was 512MB? Not KB? Just wondering, because it would be a huge lot for such an old computer.

    Segurazo antivirus (also known as SAntivirus) is described as anti-virus software that includes real-time protection, threat detection, and protection of data and passwords. In fact, this program is a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since it is distributed through the download or installation set-ups of other software. Many people download and install software of this type unintentionally.
    Segurazo allows users to run a quick or full scan. To remove any detected threats, however, they are required to activate/register it - in effect, pay for the 'full version'. Do not trust programs that are offered in the set-ups of other software. Furthermore, these programs provide dubious results - they detect false issues and do not fix any real problems. In summary, they trick people into paying for bogus software registrations. There is a strong possibility that Segurazo is one of these rogue programs. Additionally, developers often add more than one PUA to download or installation set-ups. They use this method to distribute browser hijackers, adware-type apps, and other PUAs. Browser hijacking apps change browser settings to promote fake search engines or other dubious web addresses. Additionally, these PUAs record IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of opened pages, entered search queries, and other similar details relating to users' browsing habits. Developers share the data with other parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Adware-type apps show various ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, etc.). If clicked, these lead people to untrustworthy websites. In some cases, they proliferate unwanted apps - once clicked, they run scripts that lead to download and installation of potentially unwanted applications.
    SAntivirus is an unwanted program installed on users’ computers without their knowledge (usually by other software bundles). SAntivirus can change the settings of your home or work network by using them for its own purposes and make your system vulnerable to other malicious threats.

    ILOVEYOU - pretty much the worm that started social engineering. People are still pretty curious to this day about unsolicited emails.
    I always get asked why people still send them if “everybody knows about them”.
    Answer: enough people still click them!
    Pretty clever what they did regarding the file extensions though. Probably one of the first cases where - never open any attachment, however benign looking, from a unknown sender came from!
