40Hex Issue 4                                            December 1991 

                      Hacked Pklite File Scanning 
                      --------------------------- 

   In issue two, i belive it was.  I release a method of making Pklite 
   files un-uncompressable and un-detectable.  Well seems a few people 
   used the trick for wrong doing.  What do I mean by wrong doing you 
   ask?  Well lets just say lame trojans and such. 

   Anyway, I had a few sysops on my ass about the trick and so, so now I 
   am must release.... The hacked Pklite scanning strings.   Well I 
   could really give a fuck if someones BBS gets crashed, but then again 
   I am freinds with a lot of sysops.  And besides I have a new trick 
   anyway :) 

   Well there are two strings.  One for .EXE files and one for .COM 
   files.  And here they are. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------- 

   "01 F0 FF 50 00 00 00 03 01" Pklite EXE 
   "53 33 DB 53 CB 03 01"       Pklite COM 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

What's my new trick???  Well I won't reveal it at this point... But here 
is a another compression trick.  It lets you compress a file with Pklite 
then again with LZExe. 

First 
----- 

Compress the file with Pklite 

Next 
---- 

Compress the file with LZExe 

It wont let you cause the file becomes bigger... 

But 
--- 

Use the DOS Undelete function to undelete the file ?zexe.tmp.  Thats the 
twice compressed file.  Rename it to what you want.  Destroy the LZ 
header... And there you have it...
