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.

 ;---------------------------------------------------------------------

 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.....

Subject: [twf] June 2000 update

TWF News.

1. General Update
2. Explorer 2260 Update.
3. Maim & Mangle Update.
4. Next News Update

~~~~~~

1. General Update

May could have been better. There was numerous problems with compiler bugs
driving both chris and massi mad. The problems were traced to bugs in the
StormC V3 compiler which wasted a lot of their time chasing code bugs that
didn't exist. On top of that Rob had a harddrive failure which didn't lose
much work but the replacement drive refused to format and took over a week
to get his A4000 working again with the new drive.


2. Explorer 2260 Update.

News this month:

    - Continuted working on MiniGL engine and object editor. Started
      modifying MiniGL texture code to support more formats and
      automatic card-friendly format conversion.

    - Fixed some problems with parts of the interface code, began
      an abstraction layer to make interface component handling
      code easier to port to Linux.

    - Extended object editor loading system to support plugin-style
      load libraries.


3. Maim & Mangle Update.

News this month:

    - There has been far too many problems with bugs in StormC V3. A lot of
      development time has been lost due to these compiler problems. We are
      switching development over to the GCC compiler (we may use StormC V4
      when it is released if the bugs we've experienced have been fixed).

    - The game engine is now running under miniGL, on both 060 and PPC.

    - Work has started on conversion of our editor tools to use miniGL.
      These should be ready within 2-3 weeks.


4. Next News Update

1st July 2000


All the best,
Ed.

The World Foundry LLC - Amiga PPC - Explorer 2260 - Maim & Mangle

PRESS RELEASE            June 1st 2000

New Offices in the UK and Germany:

CS&E has moved to new offices from June 1st. Here is the new contact
information which you can use for ordering Amiga Survivor or for anything
else you wish:
Crystal Software and Electronics Ltd
7200 The Quorum, Oxford Business Park, Oxford, OX4 2JZ, UK
Tel: +44 (0) 1865 481 421, Fax: +44 (0) 1865 481 482.
It's very exciting that CS&E Deutschland is arriving soon. CS&E definitely
wants to be in contact with the good people of Germany but being able to
work only from the UK in the English language has made this difficult in the
past. Following on from the opening of our German office, Amiga Survivor and
our future software will be produced in both English and German. You can
expect to see this for Back in Time 2, Cosmo's Fun Class and Amiga Survivor
Issue 10 in due course.
Check out the website at http://www.CSandE.co.uk/ - it is now up and running.
This site includes news on each of our latest games for the Amiga, plus
sections on news, future releases, contacts links and a store.

New Games released in June:

Back in Time 2 is a compilation of SID music for the Amiga, PC or Mac going
back to the days of the Commodore 64. It is a companion CD for the audio
release of Back in Time 2. CS&E is making a small run of these CDs in house,
which is unusual since we usually use Sony in Austria. Fans of SID music
should be absolutely thrilled with the CD which will be priced at just £4.99
and scheduled for release on June 23rd.

Cosmo's Fun Class is very near to completion and also has a June 23rd
release date. Cosmo's Fun Class is an education title for children aged 4-9.
It brings a fun outlook to learning with arithmetic, memory and reading
challenges in 17 activities. This title can be pre-ordered from CS&E now.

Hopefully some demos and reviews should be forthcoming in your favourite
Amiga magazine, and also look out for our advertising campaign in the Amiga
press featuring someone with a beard !??!
