                        Hack Report, September 1993

  Andrew Barnhardt (1:247/301) forwarded a post from Dom D'amato
  (1:141/510) about an Amiga Trojan/dropper in circulation.  The file,
  MCHECK, claims to be a modem test utility.  However, the original
  reporter, Luca Spada (2:331/106.0), states that this file reports that
  your modem is "OK" even if no modem is attached to your system.
  Apparently, the Trojan monitors the keyboard for activity - if you leave
  it alone for 5-10 minutes, it begins to overwrite random tracks on your
  hard drive with endless obscenity.  Luca says it can reduce all of your
  partitions to garbage in about 4 seconds.

  Another unidentified user reported that the Trojan looks for the presence
  of an antiviral background program called SnoopDos - if it finds it, it
  deactivates it.

  The archive contains these two files:

       Modemcheck.doc    2227 Bytes
       Modemchecker     15516 Bytes

  Definitely sounds like one that Amiga users should avoid.


  HW Ken Whiton forwarded a message from Wildnet user Kevin Tischler about
  an incident of a tampered version of the AVScan antiviral tool, AVSCAN83.
  This file supposedly contains an internal file called VIRUS.DAT, which is
  "sometimes unzipped" by the host program, leaving five files behind.
  These five files are 911.COM, YANKEE.COM, SYSLOCK.COM, ANTHRAX.COM, and
  "a program reporting to be an icon viewer/maker called rim300.zip."
  Kevin reports that MicroSoft AntiVirus (part of MS-DOS 6.0) was able to
  detect the infection - from the way it looks, the first 4 files are the
  real things.


  Ryan Thompson (1:124/2213) reports that one of his users found a file
  calling itself ARJ240, claiming to be the non-beta release of the next
  ARJ archiver.  This immediately trips a flag, since the author of ARJ,
  Robert Jung, has publicly stated that there would never be a version with
  this number (due to an earlier hack by the same name).

  In any case, the file appears to be not merely a hack, but a simplistic
  Trojan.  The program that was altered to do the damage was REARJ.EXE.
  When Ryan's user ran it, it copied a file called SINBAUD.EXE to the root
  directory and re-wrote the user's autoexec.bat file to invoke this file.
  The SINBAUD file, according to Ryan's inspection, contained "a few
  hard-coded CHKDSK messages, some stuff for displaying a fake DOS prompt",
  and a few other messages.  He did not run the SINBAUD program, which is
  just as well - the overwrite of the autoexec.bat is enough to merit
  Trojan status.

DA(m)N NEWS 2-04                   Str. 4                   10 no 1994


  As many of you might know, The Hack Report does not include listings of
  programs designed to "crack" or "register" other programs.  I feel that
  these files don't need the free publicity that they would get from a
  listing in this report, and that the act of listing might make someone go
  out looking for a copy of one of them.  (See Ray Bradbury's short story,
  "Downwind from Gettysburg," from the collection "I Sing the Body
  Electric!", for an insight to your Hack Squad's thinking on this
  subject.)

  However, a report from David Jones (1 @ 2950 WWIVnet, Internet address
  87-2950@wwiv.tfsquad.mn.org) merits an exception to this rule.  He has
  found a file called RPIT352C, a copy of the online game "The Pit" with a
  "special program that will automatically register it for you."  Inside
  the archive is a README.COM file that is infected with the Leprosy virus.

  This is a good reason to not even download these "cracks" - you never
  know what you're getting into.


  Rod Fewster (3:640/886) reported in the FidoNet VIRUS Echo on a file
  called TNN202 that he tested.  This file apparently contains at least 3
  files named TNN.EXE, TNN.OV1, and TNN.OV2.  TNN.EXE displays the
  following message:

       TNN Anti-Virus (C) 1992-1993 by Syn Labs Inc. Version 2.02.
       Configuring, Please wait....

  At this point, the program renames TNN.OV1 to TNN1.EXE, and TNN.OV2 to
  TNN2.COM.  According to Rod, TNN1.EXE is the "RABID" Trojan, while
  TNN2.EXE is the Beta 1 Trojan.  RABID "whacks out your HD's boot sector,"
  apparently filling it with a rather obscene message.  The Beta 1 Trojan,
  on the other hand, executes the following sequence of commands:

        C:
        CD DOS
        DEL COMMAND.COM
        CD\
        DEL COMMAND.COM
        RENAME AUTOEXEC.BAT TEMP.BAT
        RENAME CONFIG.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT
        RENAME TEMP.BAT CONFIG.SYS
        CD DOS
        DEL *.EXE

  It then displays its own obscene message on your screen.  Rod says that
  TNN.EXE then displays the following message (edited for television):

        GOODBYE D*******. Wave Ta-Ta to your hard disk.
        Next time, dont enter messages to a public echo if you have
        no idea what you are talking about.
        Love David Humes.

  Rod's results show that TNN.EXE is simply a "loader" for the two Trojans,
  and not dangerous by itself.  He also states that there are other files
  used to "pad out the archive," which are ancillary files from a program
  called VirusBuster v3.91.

  Thanks to Rod for posting his results.  This was definitely a nasty
  little beggar of a Trojan.


  HW Hinrich Donner forwards reports from Zone 2 of a "trainer" for the
  game Strike Commander which doesn't appear to act as it should.  The
  archive was distributed under the filenames SCTRNUNT and SC-TRN.
  SCTRNUNT contains the following files:

             !HIREZ   COM      6888 19.04.93   23:26
             SCTRNUNT EXE      6442 18.04.93   12:49
             UNT      EXE     11431 18.04.93   12:30
             SILVER   NFO        81 19.04.93   23:26
             SWIFT    NFO      3785 18.04.93   12:12
             UNT      NFO     11483 18.04.93   12:26

  Note that the SC-TRN archive contents were not forwarded, but the
  following file size and description were:

         SC-TRN.ARJ     9129 Strike Commander - Trainer by [UNT]

  The file which appears to do the damage, SCTRNUNT.EXE, does so by
  destroying your root directory, partition table, FAT1, and FAT2.


  Teo Chee Kian (6:600/600) received a file called GIF_TSR which claimed to
  convert .gif files to "Photo-like Graphics."  However, the file is
  actually a compiled batch file which seeks out and deletes all
  "important" files in your DOS, QEMM, WINDOWS, STACKER, and some other
  directories.  It also deletes MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS, COMMAND.COM, CONFIG.SYS,
  and AUTOEXEC.BAT - it calls ATTRIB.EXE to remove the hidden, system, and
  read-only attributes when necessary.  Definitely a file to avoid.


  Emmanuel Bataille (2:320/7) forwarded a message from Serge Ayotte
  (Internet, rider@geolser.login.qc.ca) about a possible isolated incident
  of an infected copy of the BNU FOSSIL Driver, version 1.88 beta
  (BNU188B).  The archive Serge found was infected with the Screaming Fist
  650 virus.  Serge goes on to say that the infection is detectable by
  version 104 of McAfee's ViruScan, but not by version 102.

  Rod Fewster (3:640/886) reports that there are two other dangerous
  versions of BNU, under the filenames BNU200 and BNU202 (see also the
  "Hacked Files" section of this report).  He says that they are identical
  except for differences in the documentation files and internal messages,
  and that both attack your hard drive's partition table and master boot
  record (MBR).

  Note that there is a real version 1.88 beta of BNU, but it was not
  intended for public release, according to the author of BNU, David
  Nugent.  The latest official public release of BNU is v1.70.


  HW Nemrod Kedem (2:403/138) reports that a new Trojan has been found in
  Israel, named RASPEED.  He forwards the following archive information:

  The program is aimed at RemoteAccess BBS Systems - it copies the
  USERS.BBS file over to a file called JACKLINE.GIF located in the first
  file area listed in your FILES.RA file.  It also adds a description to
  the FILES.BBS file that reads "JACKLINE.GIF (640x480x256)".

  This program works with RA v1.11, but not with RA v2.00 gamma.  A full
  text of Nemrod's results can be found in the file RASPEED.RES, part of
  the FILETSTS.LZH archive found in the archive version of The Hack Report.


  David Snider, a user of Douglas Taylor's system (1:147/1077), reports via
  the FidoNet DIRTY_DOZEN echo on a file called BRE0911.  Apparently, a
  file inside this archive called UPDATE.COM is infected with a virus (no
  name given) which David says is only detectable by MS-DOS 6.0's VSAFE
  program.  The virus in question re-writes your COMMAND.COM file, adding
  to it slowly over a period of time:  a fellow sysop who was infected for
  8 days wound up with a COMMAND.COM file over 70K in size.

  According to David's report, there is a legitimate release of this
  program, under the filename BRE0910.  He did not describe what the real
  program was, however, nor did he provide any archive statistics.  All he
  said was that "nothing above BRE0910 is legal".  Shawn McMahon
  (1:206/1701.66) says that this sounds like "Barren Realms Elite," a BBS
  door game.

                               OS/2 WISHLIST

MAKE "/" AND "\" ACT THE SAME FOR DIRECTORIES
  Users should be able to change directories using either "/" or "\" as
  directory separators.  This would require changing the command-line switch
  delimeter to '-' from '/'.

  Lew Jensen (lrj@helios.tn.cornell.edu)
  Joshua Samuel (josh@werple.aphana.org.au)

SUPPORT WILDCARD EXPANSION IN THE SHELL
  The OS/2 command shell (CMD.EXE) should provide wildcard expansion.  For
  example, a user should be able to 'cd \desk*' to change in to '\desktop'.
  This simplifies application development as well, as each piece of software
  doesn't need to have wildcard expansion routines.

  James Gurganus (gurganus@ecn.purdue.edu)
  Dimitri Vulis (dlv@bwalk.dm.com)
  Joshua Samuel (josh@werple.aphana.org.au)

COMMAND ALIASES IN CMD.EXE
  The OS/2 command shell (CMD.EXE) should support command aliases.  This
  allows users to alias a complex or cumbersome command with a short, simple
  name.

  Evan Champion (evanc@spatial.synapse.org)
  John Heiden (jheiden@uoft02.utoledo.edu)
  Ian Timms (itimms@ariel.ucs.unimelb.edu.au)
  Joshua Samuel (josh@werple.aphana.org.au)

LIST/KILL PROCESS COMMANDS
  As part of the base operating system, a command to kill processes must be
  provided.  There must be some means to kill off a program that has gone
  awry quickly and simply.  A simplified version of the 'procs' command
  should also be provided to allow users to find the process they need to
  kill without having to search through the masses of information that
  'procs' provides.

  Dimitri Vulis (dlv@bwalk.dm.com)
  Joshua Samuel (josh@werple.aphana.org.au)
  Jani Patanen (japa@mits.mdata.fi)

UNICODE
  Unicode support should be included in the base operating system.  This
  would also remove the need for a different double byte character set
  version of the operating system.

DATE AND TIME FORMAT
  The system date and time format (as defined in the Country object in the

MOVE TO THE MICROKERNAL FOR INTEL OS/2
  While I recognize that the OS/2 kernal is insanely optimized for the PC, I
  think it would be best to move the whole architechture to the IBM
  Microkernal, for uniformity with other OS/2 platforms as well as for
  better memory protection as device drivers would run in user space and
  could not crash the whole machine.

  Evan Champion (evanc@spatial.synapse.org)

FASTER BOOT OFF FLOPPY
  Booting OS/2 off floppy takes forever.  An unexperienced user could think
  that the computer has crashed while booting.  Something should come up
  telling the user that something is happening, rather than 'Please Wait'
  for a few minutes.  A big improvement would be booting off a single floppy
  instead of the current two, which would also make the boot process much
  faster.

BETTER SVGA IN DOS WINDOWS SUPPORT
  OS/2 needs better SVGA support for DOS window sessions.  All resolutions
  supported by a card should be available for windows.  As long as a window
  would not cover more area than available on the desktop it should be shown
  (or perhaps a method for 'squishing' the windows to make them fit on the
  desktop could be developed).

ADD SEPARATORS FOR NUMBERS RETURNED BY CHKDSK

  1073299562 gets kind of hard to read, whereas 1,073,299,562 means less
  Excedrin."

SEEMLESS CONVERSION OF LF->CRLF OR DROP CRLF
  The PC is the only computer I know of that uses carriage return-line feed
  to denote the end of a line - everyone else just uses the linefeed.

  Because of growing diversity, the PC is forced to work with computers of
  all different architechtures, and exchanging text becomes quite difficult
  when documents can't even be viewed properly.  I propose two solutions -
  one, very radical, is to get rid of CRLF totally.  The second, and probably
  the more livable option, would be to change the 'type' shell commmand to
  be able to view text with only linefeeds properly.

JUMP-SCROLLING FOR SHELL WINDOWS
  Windows currently scroll too slowly - jump-scrolling, whereby only what
  can be put to the screen in a reasonable amount of time is shown, would
  improve performance dramatically.

  John Heiden (jheiden@uoft02.utoledo.edu)

RESIZABLE SHELL WINDOWS
  Being limited to fixed resolutions (80x??) is an unnecessary limitation
  for shell windows.  They should be changed to be dynamically resizable -
  simply pull on the resizing borders to resize the screen.  During the
  process, the title bar could change to show the current resolution.

  Evan Champion (evanc@spatial.synapse.org)
  John Heiden (jheiden@uoft02.utoledo.edu)
  James Gurganus (gurganus@ecn.purdue.edu)

RESIZABLE FONT FOR SHELL WINDOWS
  Similar to having dynamically resizable shell window resolutions, there
  should be dynamically resizable font sizes.  The amount of text that could
  be shown a one time in the window remains constant, but the font size is
  changed (using the resize borders).  This should be an option in the
  titlebar menu and not default behaviour.

DISPLAY POSTSCRIPT
  PC's have become powerful enough to handle display Postscript, and
  definitely the next generation of PC's - the PowerPC's - could handle
  display Postscript with no problems at all.  With fonts playing an
  increasingly important role, it is important for what is on the screen
  to look as much as possible as printed output.

RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON ACTION FOR PROGRAMS THAT DON'T USE IT
  The commands in the toolbar menu (at the top left corner of each window)
  as well as the menubar (in the case of PM application) should form a
  right mouse button pop-up menu for applications that do not explicitly
  support the right mouse button.

  Evan Champion (evanc@spatial.synapse.org)

DEDICATED SWAP PARTITION
  For performance reasons, a dedicated swap partition option should be
  available in addition to the regular swap file option.  This would
  use an entire logical drive for swapping instead of having to constantly
  resize a swapfile on a regular drive, causing fragmentation in addition
  to the inherently slower process of file I/O over device I/O.

INTEGRATION OF REXX QUEUES WITH API QUEUES
  Why must there be two separate queues in OS/2 - the system queues invoked
  using the API calls and the REXX queues?  Would it not make more sense to
  have both use the same queues?  The transmission between the API calls and
  REXX could be done using shared memory which is freed after the element is
  taken off the queue.  All that would be passed through the queue would be
  the address to the shared memory segment.  This would not only remove the
  confusion as to why there are two separate queues, but would allow the
  user to create very powerful yet simple software with REXX-based clients
  talking to a C-based server using queues.

  Evan Champion (evanc@spatial.synapse.org)

TEXT-MODE MULTI-TASKING
  "From a fullscreen DOS or OS/2 windows, Ctrl-ESC should bring up the
  switch list on the text screen rather than switching to the desktop.
  Just pressing ALT in a fullscreen session should bring a text mode
  program control window down just like when running in a window on the
  desktop. This would allow you to mark, copy, paste, change settings,
  and etc. from within text mode. Possibly switching to the desktop to
  change settings, but preferably not."

TEXT-MODE TUI (TEXTUAL USER INTERFACE)
  "Provide an user interface API for text mode. An example would be a
  Turbo Vision like API for text mode."

UPDATING DOS CODE

  It would be nice if OS/2's DOS code was updated to IBM DOS 6.1 or higher.
  Full DPMI 1.0 support would be great.

  Jerry Freeman (n6140299@henson.cc.wwu.edu)

SINGLE COMMAND LINE
  It is an extreme annoyance not to have all of OS/2's features accessible
  from ONE command line.  This means the ability to run OS/2, DOS and
  Windows applications from the same command line.  This would also help
  decrease storage requirements by removing 99% of OS/2's DOS utilities
  (all except for SVGA.EXE) as the OS/2 versions could be run seamlessly.

  Evan Champion (evanc@spatial.synapse.org)

SHUTDOWN UTILITY
  There must be a utility to shutdown from the command line.  By default,
  it should ask to confirm whether to shutdown the machine or not, but thre
  should be a command line option to unconditionally shutdown.  In addition,
  it should have the ability to reboot the machine automatically at the end
  of a shutdown.  This could then be called by remote users (say, on a
  network) who could reboot a troubled machine without having to go down to
  the system.

  Steve Martin (steve@dlomas.com)
  Luca Regoli (mc0280@mclink.it)

DEFRAGMENTATION UTILITY
  It is unacceptable to have to boot DOS in order to defragment a DOS
  partition - especially when many DOS defrag utilities mutilate extended
  attributes.  A defrag utility for HPFS would be nice as well.

  Steve Martin (steve@dlomas.com)
  Luca Regoli (mc0280@mclink.it)

PROVIDE BASE WORDPROCESSING ABILITIES
  A small wordprocessor should be included with the operating system.  It
  would have to support things like multiple fonts, bold, underline, etc.

  (this might be a good way to show off OpenDoc -- EC)

  Steve Martin (steve@dlomas.com)

MORE ON-LINE DOCUMENTATION
  The provision of the 'User Guide' and 'Installation Guide' as INF files
  would be much appreciated.

                          OS/2 BakupWiz News
                             Jan 03, 1994


 PCX has released version 1.07 of OS/2 BakupWiz. This is a minor bug fix
 and enhancement release. See the list of changes/fixes at the end of
 this message.

 Our customers may obtain the release in one of several ways. The
 complete replacement for the release code is available on PCX's BBS
 now. You must be a registered user on the BBS in order to gain access
 to the private area where the archive is located. If you are not setup
 on the BBS already, please call us and we will take care of that for
 you. The file name is BWS5-107.ZIP.

 A quicker and easier way is for you to download a patch file that will
 update your existing product to the 1.07 level. You gain by having a
 smaller download to perform and having the patch available on both our
 BBS and Compuserve. The patch is only useful to customers with the
 1.06 code! If you are running older code, you must first bring it up to
 the 1.06 level. In addition, since it is safe for us to post the patch in a
 public forum, you do not need to be validated on our BBS before you are
 able to download it. The file name for the patch on Compuserve is
 BWP6-7.ZIP and is found in the OS2BVEN forum LIB 2. On our BBS, the
 filename is the same.

 The patch is easy to apply. Unzip the patch into the directory where
 you have OS/2 BakupWiz installed. Then just go into that directory and
 type PATCH.

 Please call us if you have any problems.

To disable the automatic application restart feature, create a STARTUP.CMD
file in the root directory of your OS/2 boot drive with the following REXX
script:

    /*  */
    call RxFuncadd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs'
    call SysLoadFuncs
    call SysIni 'USER', 'PM_WorkPlace:Restart', 'DELETE:'

or add the line

    SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY

to your CONFIG.SYS.  To manually disable automatic application restart when
booting OS/2, hold down the left CTRL, left SHIFT, and F1 keys
simultaneously from the time the mouse pointer appears until icons are
displayed on the desktop.

================================================================================
                          DOS (Dumb Operating System)
================================================================================


Summary:

Version 4.45 of the Microsoft expanded memory manager (EMM386.EXE),
provided with MS-DOS version 6.0, has the following new features:

 - Advanced Upper Memory Scanning
 - Expanded and Extended Memory Sharing
 - Ability to Provide Upper Memory Regions for Microsoft Windows
 - Ability to Load with NOEMS When No Page Frame Is Available
 - NOVCPI Switch for Smaller Load Size
 - Automatic IBM Token Ring Adapter Detection
 - Quiet Loading
 - Ability to Provide ROM Shadowing


More Information:

Advanced Upper Memory Scanning
------------------------------

EMM386.EXE can now scan the F000h-F7FFh region when the system
read-only memory (ROM) is duplicated between F000h-F7FFh and
F800h-FFFFh. Also, EMM386.EXE will include the ROM BASIC area on IBM
PS/2 systems.

To enable advanced upper memory scanning, add the HIGHSCAN switch to
the device= line for EMM386.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Expanded and Extended Memory Sharing
------------------------------------

Previous versions of EMM386.EXE allocated as much extended memory
memory as possible during the initialization phase. This tied up
memory that could otherwise have been used by programs that use
expanded memory. EMM386.EXE version 4.45 includes support for dynamic
allocation of memory. This means EMM386.EXE can create and make
available different types of memory as your system requirements
change.

Ability to Provide Upper Memory Regions for Windows
---------------------------------------------------

EMM386.EXE version 4.45 includes a new WIN= switch that defines upper
memory regions available for use by Windows. These regions are similar
to X= regions; memory is not mapped to those areas. But unlike X=
regions, Windows (in 386 enhanced mode) can map its own memory into
these upper memory regions and make more conventional memory available
to MS-DOS-based applications running with Windows.

Ability to Load with No Page Frame
----------------------------------
DA(m)N NEWS 2-04                   Str. 24                  10 no 1994


Previous versions of EMM386.EXE do not load if expanded memory support
is enabled and there is not enough contiguous available address space
for an expanded memeory page frame. To support MEMMAKER.EXE,
EMM386.EXE 4.45 displays a warning message and continues to load when
this situation occurs.

NOVCPI Switch for Smaller Load Size
-----------------------------------

Previous versions of EMM386.EXE disable both expanded memory and
virtual control program interface (VCPI) support when the NOEMS switch
is used. EMM386.EXE 4.45 leaves VCPI support enabled by default when
the NOEMS option is used, relying on the expanded and extended memory
sharing enhancement to supply VCPI memory.

VCPI support can be disabled with the new NOVCPI switch. Using NOEMS
and NOVCPI together results in a reduction in the amount of extended
memory used by EMM386.EXE.

Token Ring Adapter Detection
----------------------------

EMM386.EXE automatically detects the memory location of IBM Token Ring
adapter cards and prevents the mapping of expanded or upper memory
over the adapter. The new Token Ring adapter detection can be disabled
by using the new NOTR command line switch.

Quiet Loading
-------------

By default, EMM386.EXE version 4.45 displays messages only if it
encounters an error condition. Adding the /VERBOSE (or /V) switch to
the EMM386 line in the CONFIG.SYS file forces EMM386.EXE to display
status and error messages while loading.

To display status messages without adding the /V switch, press and
hold down the ALT key while EMM386.EXE starts and loads.

For more information on the EMM386.EXE switches, type "help emm386"
(without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt.

Ability to Provide ROM Shadowing
--------------------------------

EMM386.EXE version 4.45 includes a new ROM= switch that defines
regions of read-only memory (ROM) for EMM386.EXE to "shadow."
EMM386.EXE copies the contents of the ROM to extended memory (RAM) and
maps the ROM addresses to this memory. Specifying this switch can
speed up your system if it does not already use shadow RAM.

    I just saw in Computer Shopper that the winner of the Best Buy Award
for 1993, in operating systems, was IBM OS/2 2.1.  The Best Buy awards are
chosen by readers via ballots.  Go OS/2!

    In related news, the latest PC MAGAZINE lists OS/2 2.1 in its selection
of the Best Products of 1993.  All right!!
