virus at midnight

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The Company mass produces the virus for experimentation purposes. [1]

The FBI is currently conducting a full-scale investigation of whether Morris violated federal laws about computer security by setting loose his virus onto the nation’s largest computer network, the Internet, which is also used by the Pentagon. [...] The first, and most simple, of Morris’ defenses, was that he released the virus at midnight, giving it a head start on the systems managers across the country who were home asleep when the virus began to spread. [...] After a series of interviews with experts on computers and computer security, it appears that the virus spread itself in a three-step process, which transformed an innocent computer into one that could infect others–like a chain-letter scheme run on the most advanced circuitry. [2]

Virus Is On The Loose — It tries to print the famous owl picture to network printers, RLY, it does. [...] Imhotep theme designed by Chris Lin. [3]

Mohinder Suresh seems to have antibodies in his blood that are capable of destroying the original strain of the virus, though by mixing it with Claire ’s regenerative blood, the antibodies “become stronger”, apparently affecting other mutated strains in blood recipients. [1]

Robert T. Morris Jr. ‘87-’88, the Cornell graduate student who authored a program which disabled thousands of mainframe computers throughout the nation, proved last week in a spectacular way that there are major security gaps in the country’s computer systems. [2]

After teleporting to 2008, Peter learns that the Shanti virus has caused the deaths of 93% of the world’s population. [...] Adam tells Peter of a woman named Victoria Pratt who recovered the virus from a young girl thirty years ago and attempted to make it a weapon. [1]

By using a number of tricks, Morris’ program made the target machine treat the message as a command program instead of ordinary mail, which the computer places into a file to be read by users if they wish. [2]

The “Shanti virus” is a life-threatening disease that attacks the nervous system. [1]

Here is some pretty awesomely bad marketing from Symantec. [4]

Stoll noted that the Cornell virus was the first true virus–a program with the ability to spread itself from computer to computer completely independently–ever released. [2]

One of its side effects is that it prevents evolved humans who have the disease from using their abilities. [1]
