;±±± TheBugger is a simple COM infector with some interesting ±±±
;±±± inprovements. ±±±
;±±± ±±±
;±±± Its first difference with a normal COM virus is the tricky resident ±±±
;±±± check; it's designed to avoid lamers writing the typical resident ±±±
;±±± program wich returns the residency code and forces the virus to not ±±±
;±±± install in memory. To avoid that, the virus makes an extra check of ±±±
;±±± a random byte in the memory copy; if the check fails, it jumps to a ±±±
;±±± simulated HD formatting routine }:). ±±±
;±±± ±±±
;±±± Another interesting feature is the tunneling routine. It uses the ±±±
;±±± common code trace method but it starts tracing from PSP call to int ±±±
;±±± 21h instead of doing it from normal int 21h vector in order to avoid ±±±
;±±± resident antivirus stopping trace mode. This call is supported for ±±±
;±±± compatibility with older DOS versions and it has some little ±±±
;±±± diferences with the normal int 21 handler: first, the function code ±±±
;±±± is passed in cl register (not in ah as usual) and second, the ±±±
;±±± function to call can't be higher than 24h. These diferences are ±±±
;±±± handled by the O.S. in a separated routine and then it jumps to the ±±±
;±±± original int 21h handler, so the tunneling routine only skips the ±±±
;±±± first 'compatibility' routines and gets the real int 21h address €:).±±±
;±±± ±±±
;±±± The last big feature, is the infection method; the virus infects COM ±±±
;±±± files by changing a call in host code to point to it. This call may ±±±
;±±± be one between the second and fifth. This is done by intercepting ±±±
;±±± the int 21h service 4bh (exec), when a COM file is executed, the vi- ±±±
;±±± rus changes its first word with an int CDh call, it intercepts this ±±±
;±±± int and jumps to the int 21h. When the host starts running, it exe- ±±±
;±±± cutes the int CDh and then the virus takes control; it restores host ±±±
;±±± first word and changes int 01h to trace host in order to find a call ±±±
;±±± to infect }:) The use of int CDh can be avoided by tracing int 21h ±±±
;±±± until host code, but this way we have the same problem of resident ±±±
;±±± antivirus. ±±±
;±±± ±±±
;±±± And that's all folks :), enjoy it. ±±±
