Research Death Virus

DECEIDE 2 VIRUS

The Deceide 2 Virus is a computer virus which infects .COM files. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation and corrupts program or overlay files.
Research Deceide 2 Virus

DEDICATED VIRUS

The Dedicated Virus is an encrypted computer virus which uses stealth techniques to avoid detection and which infects .COM files including COMMAND. COM. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation, corrupts program or overlay files.

DEFINE VIRUS

The Define Virus is a computer virus which infects .COM and .EXE files including COMMAND.COM. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation, corrupts program, overlay files and data files.
Research Define Virus

DEICIDE VIRUS

The Deicide Virus is a computer virus which infects .COM files in the root directory of the current drive only. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation, corrupts program files. If all files are infected, and Deicide is not on the C drive it attempts to ruin it anyway. If all files in the root direcory on drive C are infected, data on the fixed disk is destroyed, a message displayed and the computer hung. If a program is successfully overwritten, Deicide exits to DOS after displaying the message 'File corruption error.' If Deicide is trapped on a diskette that is write- protected, it will generate ' Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail' messages .

DEMON VIRUS

The Demon Virus is a computer virus which infects .COM files including COMMAND.COM. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation and corrupts program files. On a Tuesday, Demon will destroy all data on the hard drive.

DEN ZUK VIRUS

The Den Zuk Virus is a computer virus which infects the diskette boot sector. The virus is loaded into memory by booting from an infected disk and then affects the computer's runtime operation.

DENIAL OF SERVICE

Denial of Service (DoS) is a form of malicious attack conducted against a computer server with the intention of denying the server the ability to conduct its rightful service. Typical denial of service attacks are launched against http (web) servers to prevent access to the web pages published by them, and against email servers to prevent their functioning. Other Denial of service atacks may target firewalls and routers on networks, thereby preventing tarffic in and out of a network. The most popular and easiest forms of denial of service attacks are caused by flooding (such as with the Pepsi UDP Flooder), the attacker simply sends a constant stream of data to a victim machine. In a typical attack (known as SYN Flooding), a malicious attacker sends a TCP SYN signal with a non-existant origination IP address to the victim machine. The victim machine then sends a SYN-ACK signal to the non-existant IP address and awaits a response, which of course it never receives, and so the victim machine resends and rewaits. All this sending and waiting takes up resources on the victim machine, until eventually it may be so busy sending and awaiting replies from a non-existant IP address that it cannot perform it's legitimate duties.
