                 The Ultimate Virus Programmers Toolkit 
                 -------------------------------------- 

    Just thought it would be funny to list what I think is the ulitmate 
    virus programmers toolkit.  Theroys may vary. 

    - Turbo Assembler (MASM sucks, and it is slow) 
    - Turbo Debugger (It rules, what else can I say?) 
    - Quick Edit (Small, Fast and Turbo-like keys) 
    - Sourcer 486 (The ONLY real dissembler out) 
    - Virus Scan by McAffe Asst. (It really is a great tool) 
    - VSUM (Patti Hoffman is a stupid bitch, but I must admit, this 
            program is the virus underground bible) 
    - VSAFE from Central Point Anti-Virus (Not as annoying as Flu-Shot) 
    - Pklite Proffesional (If you don't have it - get it) 
    - Norton 6.0 (Diskedit alone is worth the d/l time) 
    - Pc-Backup by Central Point (we all fuck up sooner or later) 
    - MEMWALK.EXE (great shareware program, like diskedit for memory) 
    - Teledisk (for boot block virus saves) 
    - Trunc - by Skism Programming (Electronic file shredder) 
    - Microsoft Press Quick Reference Series 
               - DOS Functions  (INT 20 - 26) 
               - ROM and BIOS functions (INT 10, 15 - 16) 
               - MS DOS extentions (Expaned, extended memory interupts) 
    - _Undocumented DOS_ or any current text file on the subject- 
    - 40HEX magazine (Well I do have good stuff here, sometimes) 
    - Dark Angel's Phunky Virus writing guide (pretty hard to come by. 
                                               He expalins stuff well) 
    - The following source code 
               - Leprosy-B (beginers only on this one, none-the-less) 
               - Cancer (well documented, intermediate) 
               - Tiny-F (not bad intro to .COM infections) 
               - Dark Avenger (well availible and excellent tips on .EXE 
                               infection) 
               - Stoned II (boot block intro) 
               - Secure 2.0 (I got the source to this.  It is a virus 
                             detection system from the guy who wrote 
                             1260, Mark Washburn.  The source has some 
                             great examples on debug trapping, TSR 
                             skills, and encryption) 
               - IBM Scan source (I have this too, it's funny... Kinda 
                                  like McAfee's SCAN but lamer.  By 
                                  David Chess) 
    - An account on the Bulgerian Virus Exchange +359-220-4198 
    - An account on a BBS with Fido-Nets' virus echo (keep track of your 
                                                     latest score) 
    - Many accounts on the Homebase BBS (408) 988-4004 2400 bps 
                                        (408) 988-5138 HST 9600 
                                        (408) 988-5190 v32 9600 
      (Tell Areyh I sent ya') 
    - Scientific Calculator (Hex aint easy) 
    - Vivaren (Helps you break night, or any other controlled substance) 
    - Food, smokes, or whatever your vice is... 

 
    That'll do it...
