  1. SEMINAR ONCOMPUTER VIRUS PREPARED BY Harsh dhruv sreejit

  2. Introduction of Virus • Len Adleman – Give the name “Virus” • Definition • Two types of Virus : • Computer Virus • Mobile Virus

  3. Virus • A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs

  4. E-mail viruses • An e-mail virus moves around in e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim's e-mail address book. • EXAMPLE • I Love You Virus in 4-May,2000

  5. Worms • A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. • Example • Code Red in 19 july ,2000 • It Slows Down the internet traffic while replicate itself

  6. Trojan horses • A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically. • Examples: Net Bus and Back Orifice, Sub seven

  7. Boot Sector Viruses • The boot sector is a small program that is the first part of the operating system that the computer loads. • The boot sector contains a tiny program that tells the computer how to load the rest of the operating system.

  8. Program viruses • These infect executable program files, such as those with extensions like .BIN, .COM, .EXE, .OVL, .DRV (driver) and .SYS Multipartite viruses • A hybrid of Boot and Program viruses • Examples: Invader, Flip, and Tequila

  9. Stealth viruses • These viruses use certain techniques to avoid detection • Examples: Frodo, Joshi, Whale Polymorphic viruses • These viruses are more difficult to detect.Examples: Involuntary, Stimulate, Cascade, Phoenix, Evil, Proud, Virus 101

  10. Macro Viruses • A macro virus is a new type of computer virus that infects the macros within a document or template. When you open a word processing or spreadsheet document, the macro virus is activated and it infects the Normal template (Normal. dot)-a general purpose file that stores default document formatting settings.

  11. List Of Different Viruses • 1981-First Virus in the wild • 1983-First Documental virus • 1986-Brain,PC-Write Trojan & Virden • 1987-File Infectors,Lehigh,Christmas worm • 1988-MacMag,Scores,Internet Worm • 1989-AIDS Trojan • 1990-VX BBS,Little Black Book • 1991-Tequila • 1992-Michelangelo,DAME

  12. List Of Different Viruses • 1995-Year Of Hacker • 1996-Boza,Laroux,Stog • 1998-Strange Brew, Back Orifice • 1999-Melissa,Corner,Tristate,Bubbleboy • 2000-DDos,Love Letter,Timofonica,Liberty • 2001-Gnuman,LogoLogic-A and many more… • 2002-LFM-926,Sharp-A,SQL spider etc.. • 2003-Sobig,Lovegate,Fizzer,Blaster • Trojan.Xombe,MP3Concept,Symb/Cabir-A and many more

  13. 2003,Slammer,sobig,Lovgate,Fizzer,Blaster/ Welchia/mimail • A Worm that carried its own SMTP mail program and used windows network shares to spread started year. • South Korea was eliminating from the network

  14. 2004-Trojan.Xombe,Randex,Bizex,Mp3Concept,Sasser,Mac Os X,W64.Rugrat.3344,Symb/Cabir-A,WCE/Duts,W32/Amus-A,Jpeg Weakness • Trojan.Xombe was sent out to a wide audience. It posed as a message from Microsoft Windows Update asking you to run the attached revision to XP Service Pack 1. • MP3Concept turned out to be nothing more than a bad proof-of-concept that never made it into the wild.

  15. 2004 • The proof-of-concept Worm W64.Rugrat.3344 showed up the end of May. This is claimed to be the first malware that specifically attacks 64-bit Windows files only • Symb/Cabir-A appeared to infect Nokia Series 60 mobile phones • Microsoft common .DLL file that processes the image file type and has a buffer overrun error that could allow someone to add malicious code to a JPEG image which can then open holes in an attacked system

  16. Execution Of Virus • Code attached to a common Program • Run when legitimate program gets executed • Infection phase – Replication,Floppy,Specific date • Compromise or Loss of Data • Loss of Productivity • Denial of Service • Data Manipulation • Loss of Credibility • Loss of Revenue • Embarrassment

  17. Impact and Effects • Nuisance • Spoofing • Denial of Service • Overwriting and Data diddling • Destruction • Psychological • “Netspionage” • Siphoning data • Exposing vulnerabilities • Compromise or Loss of Data • Loss of Productivity • Denial of Service • Data Manipulation • Loss of Credibility • Loss of Revenue • Embarrassment

  18. Protection Against Virus • Operating System – UNIX • Virus Protection Software • Macro Virus Protection • Précising use of Internet, Email-attachment

  19. WAP Threats • The use of WAP-enabled mobile phones is booming. Cellular phones with support for WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) allow users to access a wide variety of services. • WAP enables users to do on-line banking, monitor stock markets, use email, access the Internet – all from their mobile phones

  20. CABIR • First Mobile phone Virus • Discovered by French Arm of Jaspers Labs • Developed by Global group “No Technology is reliable and safe from their attack” • Nokia,Siemens,Sony Erickson

  21. CABIR • How it works? • Symbian OS • Caribe.sys • Bluetooth • No harmful Effect

  22. Motives • Curiosity • Challenge • To gain wide attention

  23. Virus Action • Three Logical Components of WAP Network • The WAP Client(Mobile Terminal) • The WAP Gateway • The Origin Server • More Functionality means more risk • Making phone calls • Accessing & Modifying Phone Book Data • Sending SMS • Restart phones

  24. Protection Against Virus • Antivirus Software : F-Secure Web Site • Nokia 6670 – First mobile with Virus Protection • Estimated Retail Price $613 • Two Tri-Band • Optimized for GAM Networks in the EMEA • Pricing plan for F-Secure Antivirus Protection • Protection License - $3.62 per month • Nokia offer additional Security • VPN & SSL

  25. Protection Against Virus • Shutting the Stable Door • Gateway Level Solution • WML Script Scanner • Detect and Remove malicious code • Requiring no client software
