SLAM2.018: Quick and Easy Virus Host File Generator
Quick and Easy Virus Host File Generator
by Gothmog/DHA
Lots of times when I'm working on my latest virus, I find the need to infect a host file to see if the virus is working correctly. And to make such a host file, I don't want to use a program with cumbersome command-line options or mess with debug, which while easy, is still a pain when you want to get something done. So, for fast results, I cooked up this batch file system. The main batch file, MAKEHOST.BAT, creates a virus host file by piping a script, MAKEHOST.SCR, through debug. Quick and simple, not much else to it, but I've found it quite useful, as it's fast and easy to use. I recommend copying both files to your DOS directory, but any directory in your path is fine.
== cut here ======================= file: MAKEHOST.BAT ==
@echo off
echo. > %1
debug %1 < c:\dos\makehost.scr > nul
echo.
== file ends ================================ cut here ==
And the debug script file; modify the actual host to suit your needs, this one is fine in most cases, unless you're dealing with a virus that has a minimum file size check or one that uses more than the first four bytes in its infection routine, for example.
== cut here ======================= file: MAKEHOST.SCR ==
e 100 90 90 CD 20
r cx
4
w
q
== file ends ================================ cut here ==
That's it... Bug off.
