X-Surf Samba Install CD is done
Just in time for the convention the Samba-Install CD for the X-Surf
ethernet card is finished. On the Amiga side everything is automatic, so
there is no need to deal with complicated configuration files. A few clicks
and you can access harddrives and printers in the network. For Amiga-Freaks
that don`t care for Samba, NetFS will also be automatically installed. No
editing of configuration files. The access performance of amiga-amiga is a bit
higher. For the PC there isn`t a simple method of automation, but a HTML
installation guide includes screenshots of all the important settings.
The CD will be given to all X-Surf customers for free that are able to show
the original bill of sale. Those that aren`t able to be in Neuss will have
to order it from thier retailer. There are not any plans to distribute the
CD without a customer order. Since the CD only contains 5.5 MB data, it will
most probably be available on the internet after the convention. However it
will be a while, since everything is in German and many of the users would
not be able to benefit from it.

VWP News: AudioCutter Cinema Preview v0.6 for Linux
At the title link, under "ACutter", the audio and sound processing software
"AudioCutter Cinema" is now avail- and downloadable not only in the Windows
version, but also in versions for 80x86 and PPC Linux. I am sorry that the
PPC version is in a somewhat more experimental state, since there are driver
problems with the testing system. The BeOS version is delayed until further
notice, since the BeKaffe Page
still has not gone online again, and BeKaffe is therefore unavailable for
the time being.

VirusHelp Denmark: TCP trojan on the run
The coder of "SAFE" Zbigniew `Zeeball` Trzcionkowski has informed VirusHelp
Denmark that some new TCP-trojans are on the run:
Organization: Virus Help Denmark
From: "Jan Andersen" vht-dk@post4.tele.dk
Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 08:29:40 +0200
Subject: [vht-dk] TCP Trojan's on the wild
Hi All....
Today we recived information from Zbigniew `Zeeball` Trzcionkowski the
programmer of "SAFE", that there is some new TCP trojan on the loose.
Please read the text that Zbigniew wrote:
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
TCP:4097 remote shell
and
LIBS:rexxfifo.library size: 1136
If You have such then please:
- delete this fake library
- repalce fake LoadWB with the original one
- reboot
The fake LoadWB don`t have $VER string, but to confuse user it have
size and parts of file from the original LoadWB v38.9.
The trojan is fake LoadWB that decrypts and executes rexxfifo.library
which hides original LoadWB also remote shell is opened - TCP:4097.
Installer: (faked YAM?)
Please wait to xvs.library will be updated to remove this in easy way.
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
TCP:2421 remote shell
...and maybe several infected files.
Yes. There is another link-virus. The memory patch is detected as
STD Vaginitis #1 and removed correctly by xvs.library.
The infected files aren`t.
The virus is changed only little bit and is almost same as Fungus
or Vaginitis. Even static crypt key ($DEAD) is same.
Installer: jizzer size: 15368
attacks C:mount as first (adds 700 bytes with virus)
Wait for xvs.library to be updated. To see infected files
look into Safe/VaginitisClone dir of this Safe release!
I wasn`t able to spread this virus to testfiles,
so maybe this is only used to infect c:mount,
so after analyzes of disassembly i`ll be able to say why.
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
TCP: 2001 remote shell
and
fake process called `SetPatch`
and
LIBSi:rexxfunc.library size: 1136
and
L:wb.handler size: 4716
If You have such then please:
- delete those fake library and fake handler,
- replace LoadWB with the original one
- reboot
The fake LoadWB looks like original one, but it is fake.
Installer: `miamispoof` size: 8468
(The file is StoneCracked and then modified to
prevent decrunching)
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
So to be sure please check Your system for:
LIBS:rexxfunc.library size: 1136
LIBS:rexxfifo.library size: 1136
L:wb.handler size: 4716
C:mount (is bigger)
...and wait for new xvs.library from Alex van Niel.
This text is public domain :-)
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanx to Paul for sending the files and to Zbigniew for the text.
The warning from VHT-DK is atthaced to this email, please spread
the warning as much as you can...... ( Thanx).....
Kind Regards.....
