40Hex Issue 10 Volume 3 Number 1                                      File 000 

    Welcome back to yet another issue of 40Hex, Phalcon/Skism's magazine chock 
    full of virus writing techniques, news, source code, and related info. 

    First off, Phalcon/Skism welcomes its newest member, FirstStrike.  We have 
    watched him grow from humble beginnings and are confident that he will 
    continue to produce quality viruses in the future. 

    We will, beginning with this issue, be phasing out the debug scripts in 
    40Hex.  Although many people find them useful, we feel that source code is 
    more interesting and worthwhile.  The disassemblies are almost always done 
    by Dark Angel, who advises those with difficulty understanding some parts 
    of the disassemblies to first skim the entire disassembly to learn how the 
    virus works.  Some portions, he continues, are not commented because their 
    functions are self-evident and the label names reflect their respective 
    purposes. 

    In the spirit of friendly competition, we have, in this issue, the Ontario 
    3 virus written by Death Angel of YAM.  While on the topic of YAM, we find 
    it immensely amusing that they continue to adamantly state on FidoNet and 
    elsewhere that the IVP was not a mere hack of PS-MPC.  Ok, it was a rewrite 
    in Pascal, but the only significant changes were in the labels; even the 
    comments were remarkably familiar. Please cease this farce; you are fooling 
    nobody.
