Are you a virus writer? Don’t despair!!
Benny, one of my favorites (!?) from 29A has got a day job. He was hired by Zoner Antivirus team (Czhech). This has become such an issue, which I don’t understand at all. The argument against hiring virii coders is that the employers will lose credibility as their software is developed by an ex-malicious code developer. WTH? We have a saying in my country, which, to paraphrase, says “Only a thief can *find* another thief”…True, isn’t it? An ex-virii coder knows the tricks of the trade, he understands how his former-peers think, how they try to find vulnerabilities and how their polymorphic engines tick! This is crucial information, IMO.
If a security firm is not hiring a seasoned hacker, it is akin to a country’s intelligence agency refusing information from an opponent’s intelligence agent! Antivirus companies say that the skills needed for writing security software is completely different from that needed for writing malicious code. This may be true in some cases, but I cannot accept the statement as such. C’mon, if I know how to exploit a vulnerability, surely you can make use of that knowledge to fix that vulnerability, in the first place, right?? You write your software, give it to the fellow, whose job is to crack it somehow….He will be pretty effective at it than a 10 man testing team & a Quality assurance expert!! It all boils down to how you make use of the talent, IMHO. Anyhow, congrats & all the best, Benny!
ur blogs make sense,but am still wondering what is the relevance of ur blog name…
The “patzer” part is there as I wanted to talk abt Chess here…but nowadays most of the chess-talk is restricted to my Tamil Blog @ http://chathurangam.blogspot.com. If it is “mettupatti”, thats where my ancestors are from
oh interesting……..dont temme one of those tambram s/w pro banging his head against the comp terminal
eh? what do u mean?
sir,
i had invented an new method to detect an virus .And i had implemented it also.The features of this ANTI-VIRUS is
1.No need to Update
2.Fastest(1000 files per sec/1GB per sec).
and so on.
The method is
Generally the antivirus companies will first study and track the action of new viruses and then the removal is generated.
But this is not the case in my antivirus .Here by seeing the properties of a file we can say whether the file contains virus or not.This is my method of detection.The Main intension is to provide
1. no need of updations
2. high perfomance (1000 files per sec) please give your suggestions after testing.
This is Mainly used in Small and Medium type of organizations.
Because there requirement is less and they cannot pay more as large organizations.
NOTE:Please Omit the search in Operating System Drives
Paste the needed files in %systemroot%/system32 folder
Title of Project : UN – UPDATED ANTIVIRUS Application
Implemented in : VB
Brief Project Summary : The theme of the project is to provide more flexibility for small organizations in case of antivirus.
The main behavior of any virus is to hide, attack and register .so I am more concentrated on that point.
This project goal:
It can aware the user from latest viruses without updating antivirus
Fewer resources required
Gives higher fast (for 1sec it scans 1Gb)
