Diese Library kann zusammen mit VirusExecutor, VirusChecker II oder VirusZ benutzt werden. Die neuen Hitch-Hiker 5.00 Linkviren werden zu 99,9 % erkannt. Hier die komplette Meldung: A new update of the "xvs.library" has been released today. In this new update the xvs.library should detect 99.9% of all 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00 virus". The programmer Jan Erik Olausen, has been working very hard for the last 10 days to get the recog. right for this very tricky virus. Info about the new update of xvs.library: Name: xvs.library v33.31 Archive name: xvslibrary.lha Archive size: 58.874 bytes Release date: 30 August 2001 Programmer: Jan Erik Olausen News is v33.31: Improved the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 Link virus. Should be able to detect 99.9% of this virus now... Thanks to Jan Andersen and Treveur BRETAUDIERE for the files Fixed bug in recog for Bastard Installer 1 File virus Added recog for 'EICAR STANDARD AV-TEST FILE'. This is not a virus, but a testfile that can be found on http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm. The purpose of this test file is to check that your favourite anti virus program really finds it! Deep inside arhcives etc... PS! This is a data file, so you might turn on the 'data file checking' in your virus killer. Thanks to Sami Rautiainen for telling me about this file. Download shortcut: http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/xvs/xvs.htm Remember if you use VirusZ, VirusChecker, Safe and VirusExecutor you must update the xvs.library to have recog for the latest viruses.....

`30.Aug.2001` Jan Andersen (E-Mail)	Virus Help Denmark: Safe Version 16.5 Von dem Virendetektor 'Safe' ist Version 16.5 erschienen. Hier die Details: A new update of "Safe" has been released today. Also the programmer of Safe has very big problem with the new 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' virus. But we are working to make recog. for the virus in xvs.library. I have included the test of 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' at the button. Info about the new update of Safe: Name: Safe v16.5 Archive name: Safe.lha Archive size: 35.456 bytes Release date: 30 August 2001 Programmer: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski News is v16.5: added possibility to change name of safe on installation. It was necessary - new viruses like HH50 and SMEG2b refuse to infect Safe file. This trend will surely remain, so now Safe gives the user the easy way avoid that. Big thanks for Antonio Noguera, who did this improvement! This is piece of good work - even better I expected! removed some outdated info from html documentation Note that the most useful information is here and in NewShit.guide. Thanks to Michael Hendren for paying attention. removed SMEG2/PENETRATOR removals as xvs.library recognizes them now added analyze of HitchHiker5.00 the most advanced polymorphic bastard in the Amiga universe Download shortcut: http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/safe/safe.htm === Start of HitchHiker 5.00 Virus === Entry: HitchHiker 5.00 Alias(es): - Virus Strain: Smeg2 Virus detected when: August 2001 where: Aminet Classification: Linkvirus,memory-resident, not reset-resident Length of Virus: 1. Length on storage medium: c.a. 3720 Bytes Has most advanced metamorphic decoders seen for Amiga and uses slow polymorphism! 2. Length in RAM: 8588 Bytes --- Preconditions --- Operating System(s): AMIGA-DOS Version/Release.....: 2.04+ Computer model(s): all models/processors (MC68000-MC68060) --- Attributes --- Easy Identification: - Type of infection: Self-identification method in files: - via unused bits visible in dos flags Self-identification method in memory: - checks for 'HH5' process System infection: - A new process entitled 'HH5' will be created and this is the only visible change in the system. That process infects files using the known Smeg code, but the way of getting targets is new. - The virus patches return address from Wait() call of device's tasks. This is very clever idea which lets the virus patch devices which's code is placed even in ROM. The LOCATE_OBJECT and EXAMINE_NEXT packets will be stolen. Infection preconditions: - HUNK_CODE is found - device is validated - at least 6 free blocks - filename does not start with "vir" and "saf" (case independant check) - file is bigger than 4190 bytes - file is smaller than 100377 bytes Infection Trigger: The infection is based on the packet handling of AMIGA OS. Every started or listed file can be infected. Storage media affected: all DOS-devices Interrupts hooked: None Damage: Permanent damage: - none Transient damage: - none Damage Trigger: Permanent damage: - none Transient damage: - none Particularities: Uses slow polymorphism! Only this little fact mislooked by Jan Erik Olausen (and Jan Andersen) made filedetection in xvs.library the biggest AV joke seen for Amiga computers ever! At the moment xvs.library detects 3 variants of virus from several millions possible! The stack patches are done very clever and the code is flexible enough to handle differences between OS versions (including newer than 3.1). Most of code is equal to first SMEG virus. If the accessed file starts with the string "VIR" or "SAF" (case independant), the file will be not infected. Similarities: It could be seen as third kind of SMEG2, but the polyengine made it one of the most advanced viruses for Amiga. Stealth: None. The virus does not put infected file length like BOBEK viruses to ExNext's FIB, so it is likely that under controll of virus user will cut files. Salvage will be never possible as it was for HH4.11 which's files several times appeared in truncated form due to it's stealth... :-) Armouring: Uses so called HAVOC polyengine. This is the best such engine in Amiga virus at the moment. The decoders are placed after the decoder block, and the loop could contain very much logical stuff. The decoders are made metamorphically and are built of various jumps backward and forward. Such decoders can be detected only in alghorythmic way. Detection of this virus is impossible with technics like breaking the cryptings (lot of stuff) and tracing (entry point!). The decoder is generated on virus startup, so after reboot files are infected always with new decoders. Comments: The virus contains text: HAVOC I have been working with one copy of HH5.0. Even there really exist clones of HH5.0 I think that if the polyengine detection will be working for one, will be good for others. --- Acknowledgement --- Location: Pawlowice, Poland Classification by: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski Documentation by: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski Date: August 2001 Information Source: virus disassembly, SMEG1 source code Copyright: This document is public domain. === End of HitchHiker 5.00 Virus === (ps) [Meldung: 30.

`30.Aug.2001` Alexander Fritsch (ANF)	Tool: ScreamerII Version 0.84 für Amiga-Lightwave Alexander Fritsch schreibt: Ray Darrah III hat eine neue Version seines ScreamerNet-Controllers "ScreamerII" veröffentlicht. ScreamerII erlaubt es, eine Lightwave-Szene auf mehreren Rechnern verteilt zu berechnen. ScreamerII ist dabei wesentlich flexibler, als der eingebaute ScreamerNet-Controller von LightWave. So kann z.B. auf einem Rechner ein Bild gerendert werden, während gleichzeitig in Layout ein anderes Projekt bearbeitet wird. Außerdem können weitere Rechner dynamisch zum ScreamerNet hinzugefügt und entfernt werden. Alle Rechner können neu gestartet werden, die Berechnung wird dann an der richtigen Stelle fortgesetzt (Es muss also kein neues Startbild im Projekt definiert werden). Zusätzlich kann den einzelnen RenderNodes ein eigener Name gegeben werden, statt dem sonst üblichen CPU1, CPU2 usw. Die neue Version 0.84 behebt einen kleinen Fehler bei der Anzeige der Rechnernamen. A. Fritsch: "Ich habe das Programm mehrere Tage getestet und bin begeistert!" Download: ScreamerII.lha (ps) [Meldung: 30.

`27.Aug.2001` Ignatios Souvatzis (E-Mail)	Repulse-Treiber für NetBSD/Amiga Seit gestern steht für NetBSD/Amiga ein Treiber für die Soundkarte Repulse von ALiENDESiGN zur Verfügung. Hier die komplette Meldung: A driver for the "repulse" board by Aliendesign was added to the NetBSD-current yesterday. Repulse is a Zorro II interface to an AC97 compliant Audio CODEC and additional S/P-DIF circuitry. The NetBSD driver currently only supports 8-48 kHz mono or stereo 8 or 16 bit audio data from/to the analog part. The missing features will be added later. The driver was added to NetBSD-current, the development branch of NetBSD. The NetBSD projects invites volunteers to test this code. Problems should be reported on the NetBSD port-amiga mailing list or (preferred) through the NetBSD bug tracking system. The repulse driver is expected to be available in the NetBSD-1.6 formal release.

`27.Aug.2001` Amiga Future	MPEG: AMP V2.03 Am 26. August 2001 wurde die Version 2.03 des MPEG-Video-Players 'AMP' veröffentlicht. Gegenüber der Version 2.02 hat sich folgendes geändert: Added 24bit BGR/GRAY renderer, it's 27% faster than 32bit ARGB with the same quality! Added new CSS-key extraction code, made all DVDs I have work. Rewrote the motion compensation routines, made the MPEGV decoder 14% faster. Rewritten the audio.device routines, these are completely free from any context switches what so ever. Wrote generic requester routines, just as ugly as the DVD ones, but now also used for VCD and CD-i playback. Added OS9 (CD-i) and ISO9660 (VCD) filesystem parsers. Using the 56KHZAUDIO CGFX env-variable, one can now get 44100Hz playback through audio.device. Changed VCDDEVICE, VCDUNIT to DEVICE, UNIT. Removed VCDTRACK. Added pause (SPACE, ENTER to continue) and windowscreen switch (L-/RAmiga + ENTER). The window title now contain filename and video size. GUI: Updated to work with the new AMP executable. Der Player spielt MPEG-1/2 Videos mit Audio, MP2-/MP3-Audio-Streams, AC3-Audio (einzeln als auch eingebettet in MPEG-2-Streams) sowie (S)VCD, CD-i und DVD ab. Er läuft auf PPC-Amigas ab 16MB RAM, AmigaOS V3.0, WarpUP V4.0 und AGA bzw. CGFX V3. Download: AMP203.lha (sd) [Meldung: 27. Aug. 2001, 00:07] [Kommentare: 5 - 27.
