INTERVIEW WITH RAID/SLAM, ABOUT IROK
http://www.coderz.net/zine1/raid.html
Interviewer: Gigabyte
First of all, how did you come up with the name 'Irok'?
It was named after an american car. The iroc-z camaro
I simply named it irok ;p
What about the virus are you personally most proud of?
I'm proud of the fact that avers had no idea what it's payloads did for
a very long time.
some of them still have incorrect descriptions ;p
How long did it take you to write the virus?
a little over 2 weeks on/off coding
Which part was the most tricky to write?
The memory management section. It's a bitch because of all the little
routines inside irok.
Do you ever base your viruses or virus payloads on your real life
(something/someone you're mad at, something funny that happened,
habits, etc.), and if so, did you do this in Irok?
Yes, and yes.
Irok contains the payload which fits the mood I was in at the time of
writing it.
Did you get any positive or negative reactions on the virus payload
from other VXers?
I guess it was an even split.
Rhape bitched about it, but fuck him.
rather, fuck anybody who doesn't like my code. I don't care. ;p
What is, in your opinion, the most funny or idiotic comment about Irok
you've seen, from AVers?
oh hehehe, one second
When internal counters of the virus reach certain values, the virus
displays a message on screen. Most of this message is from lyrics of
the song 'Aenema' by band
'Tool'. We wont reproduce the message here as the song seriously needs
the Parental Advisory sticker for explicit lyrics.
Hahahahahaha
tis funny, no? :)
it sure is
Which AV was that from?
http://www.Europe.F-Secure.com/v-descs/irok.htm
Do you think Irok is better than Toadie?
hmm, no
toadie was funnier
iroks mean ;p
On which points is Irok better than other viruses, and what are its
weak points?
It's better then some other viruses by default because it works as
designed...
it's weak points would be the memory it requires, and it's size.
and the fact that it's not polymorphic.
Which other viruses that were in the wild at the time Irok was, or
later, do you think that actually were so lame that they weren't worth
any attention at all, and
which ones do you respect?
shrug...
The vbs viruses suck in my opinion.
As for respecting viruses... I'd have to respect the author of the
virus, and I don't respect many people.
What do you consider the most important advantage and disadvantage
compared to ASM viruses?
advantage... total control of the pc, disadvantage, takes a long time
to write a good one.
How do you think most infected users caught the virus?
probably got greedy
decided to download a crack or something.
If a family member would catch Irok and he/she had no AV installed at
all, no backups and he/she had caught Irok by running an e-mail
attachment, despite all the
warnings on the Internet and elsewhere, would you help him/her out?
Nope
I have little/nothing to do with my family.
What about friends?
I don't have many friends.
I think I know 3 people who I really consider as friends.
the rest are.. mostly acquaintances.
Do you think the fact that AVers had some trouble figuring out what
exactly Irok does, had anything to do with the language it's written
in, as ASIC isn't common
for viruses?
Yep
and I think perhaps they don't know asm as well as they claim.
How important is virus writing for you and did writing Irok have any
influence on your life (time, effort, pride, stress)?
Virus writing and smoking pot keep me alive.
Irok had no influence on anything. it was an accomplishment for me.
Are you planning to write any more Irok versions?
probably not.
Is there anything else you want to mention about Irok?
Yes. For those of you who got hit by it, I hope you lost everything.
Any greetings or hate messages?
Oh yes
Greetings to : heh, Nobody
Hatez goes out to: Most of you on both sides, fuck you all.
So much for political correctness eh? <g>
Thanks a lot for the interview :)

Do a double shift in the cannery tomorrow, because I don't want you
smelling up this group with your fish stink.
I can see why you like raidy. A turd like him is the only thing that can
cover up your stink.

Just to clear a few things up for those "adults" in the group.
1. I'm not a Kid nor teenager.
2. I own my own house; Mommy/Daddy doesn't live with me.
3. I am professionally employed in IT for a small company located
somewhere
near where I reside.
Sorry fellas, but your assumptions about me are just to funny. It's a
good thing you don't do this for a living. You'd be a starving person
for sure.
Btw, I find it truely fascinating that Jed connors needs to seek out
interviews and posts even which are years old. His last quotation with
enigma.coptalk.com is from a post OVER 4 (four) years old!
I've also found it quiet funny indeed that technology can piss so many
people off so easily. "damn virus writer, he zonked my papers; I'm
gonna kicksor his ass!"; How redneck. How... funny.

Your so mature in your attacks Jed. You make me look better and better
with each post.

Awe Jed. poor baby, someone forget to change your diaper this morning?

Oh, yeah. We believe someone who has done nothing but lie and evade for
years in this group.
Don't we, guys? (Wink)

Oh, gee, Dr. Frankenstein, I'm sorry for having implied that the
monster's killing of my small daughter was in any way at all your
fault. I'm deeply sorry if I have offended you.
Now that you have explained it to me, I can see that I should have
armed my five-year old with a 9mm pistol - with extra magazines. Yes, I
now see how it was truly all my own fault.

Radical right. Family probably thinks the same way. Hate mongerers are often home
grown. He's been way over-fertilized.

Well; to be honest Jed ol Pal. I don't care if you believe what I said
or not.
I haven't lied very much about.. er, anything in this newsgroup. I
don't really evade much either.
I posted some facts about me because you were overgeneralizing and
essentially making an ass of yourself.
