“HIGHLY CONVINCED WITH MUKESH SIR”

Intension is not destruction but creative construction

I never wanted to be destructive by creating such viruses but the virus creation idea is making me learn and know that how the viruses exactly work as the coding is the main controlling agent in an activated virus.

All this is done just to examine the working and the remedies which can be taken to get off with this virus.

Creating an anti virus software is an excellent idea and making a successful antivirus software needs some understanding about the coding and structure of viruses and how they actually carry out infection process.I would never end up publicising this virus or throw it round the net so that it infects the other PCs.

I would first make the virus and then develop antivirus tool.This would help people fight against such threats on the net.

After spending so much time on thinking about doing something odd and vigorous, I came up with the idea of developing viruses.Well, I am not a professional virus creator and no one can expect me to do so also,but this project would be an .exe file.

• Deletion of this file would not be possible
• Its main damage causing area would be C:\windows\system
• Operating system will be smashed as it would infect the registry files-Finally the boot sector of the hard disk will get damaged and the first strike would be *MGR(partition table in the computer hard disk).
  

I know,making all this needs heavy and logical coding in VB.Everybody is invited to help me and lets plan to end up with this successfully.After all, our combind efforts will pay and EXUN computer club will come up with a new category – “Virus Mania”

The attached file exactly gives the screenshot of what will happen.This is not the real file but a before hand animation of the overall effect.The only difference is that a virus doesnot tell you what it is doing.This animation is made just to show the steps of damage by labelling every action.

Virus

The response to this test was excellent, infact beyond our expectations. You all must be knowing that, as many as thirty students from VIII-VII participated in this, out of them only two have been selected:-

1. Saumya K. (VIII-C): The only person to score more than 50%. Excellent attempt.
   
2. Shashwat (VII-K): Considering the fact that he is from class VII, it was an very good attempt.
   

Congrats to you two. The average marks scored out of 25 was only 7. One dissapointing fact was that none of the students could solve any of the starred questions(the difficult ones). No one was told about it, but we would have preferred those who solved these. But anyways, overall the test was a success. Those who want to checkout the questions can download it here. The solutions/answers can be downloaded from here.

Good day.

It has been a fair bit of time since I have written, but now I have something to report, so I will report it.

The test was a major success, and we actually needed another lab to fit in all the people that showed up. Class VII appeared to have assembled in great big marshaled companies, and we had to get the papers photocopied twice, as our original expected number was way below the actual attendance. The actual answer-scripts have not been corrected as of now and are currently lying in Mr. Mukesh’s room, which I will take the opportunity to dub “The Vault of Exun”. The results will probably be out on Wednesday.

I expect a good performance from the seventhies, better than the one given by Class VIII students, though admittedly the paper was a bit easier this time.
