Quicksilver virus on furry Muck
Yoz...@cs.utexas.edu
It copied itself from descriptions of people, so that when you looked at
someone who was infected, you too would be infected. No doubt more posts
will be made to this effect. But now you get to see something totally
different. You will see what went on from the eyes of the people who wrote
the virus itself. ]
[ Note: Yozduk was the name of the character who loaded the virus program
online. Yozduk's comments will be enclosed in {}s, and my comments will
be enclosed in []s. ]
[ First a little background on what this virus did. As stated, the virus
was able to copy itself inside of player descriptions. But... The virus
also copied itself onto exits, so every time someone exited a room or
used an exit linked to a program, they got reinfected if they removed the
protection before. In fact, the virus copied itself onto everything it
could get its hands on. It copied itself into the room description, so
that you would get infected even when you just WALKED INTO a room. It
infected all of the room exits it could, and all of the contents. In
addition to this, it also had a list of all of the exits in the global
environment (for you non-muckers, an exit in the global environment can
be used by ANYONE in the muck ANYWHERE in the muck). It checked every
single exit and tried to infect it if it could. If the virus could get
into globals such as 'say' or 'pose' it could infect the entire set of
connected players. Furry was lucky that this did not happen. Furry was
also graced with a second blessing. The program was set up to rename one
of the global exits to something that would gag almost all commands in
the muck from working. This included commands like @shutdown, which shuts
down the muck, @wall, which is used to give messages to everyone online,
and @name, so that the exit couldn't be removed. However, this fate did not
occur.
No matter. The virus still spread at an alarming rate. If you were
infected, the virus would make a new set of exits on your person which
would override many of the global exits. These exits were say, pose,
whisper, page, and spoof; the only ways of getting messages out (aside
from @wall, which only wizards can do). The exits were linked to copies
of the say, pose, page, whisper, and spoof programs that furry used.
The only differece was this small patch. If the time was 11:58 pm or
later, when you tried to output a message, YOU would see it but everyone
ELSE who was supposed to see it would not. In effect, people would think
that everyone was ignoring them.
There was one more patch, however. It logged all messages that the
person who used the program saw. And here is the log file. Remember!
All messages enclosed in []s are comments by me, and all messages enclosed
in {}s are comments by Yozduk! ]
{ Well, I guess that pretty much sums it all up for us. It's a shame that
there was an unforseeable bug in the page program, but upon thinking about
that and the code that was used, I realized it was a blessing. It just
allowed us to show how clueless furries in general are. I'm now actually
glad that that bug was there, and the log which follows should reveal that.
I hope that you enjoy what is to follow. It all took place inside of
25 minutes. I'm going to have to do some research as to why things started
to majorly crash when my character was not online. Too bad it couldn't have
lasted just a little bit longer. No matter though, I think that what we did
gather will show all of the furries out there a bit about themselves and
their motives for the entire MUCK experience. Tinysex runs rampant on that
muck, and I bow before you in taking one step to prevent it, if only for a
short while. I'm not totally against it, it does have its purposes, but I
for one am not about to get so engrossed in it as to completely forget any
RL sex life.
I'm sure by now the code has all been listed and people are beginning
to piece together what happened New Year's Eve. I just have one final
message to all of you furries:

{ IS THAT SURPRISING? }
--- * START OF LOG * ---
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "Congratulaitons Conway, you spelled
German Shepherd correctly, a feet most Shepherd breeders even have yet to
master!"

[10 to 1 says that the Lochiel tries a little tiny sex with Gatsby later
that night]
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Naneth looks rather interested.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "same here Karen... I need some
cream soda."
[Ryoule likes drinking cream, if you catch my drift ;) ]
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny readies his spells for the show..
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I hope it will be a good year!"
[Yeah, not.]
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> You whisper, "Blaze is in the hot tubs at
the party." to Hervystia.
{Gee is that surprising? This is where all of us were; funny that this room
seemed to be the quietest and just so happened to be infected :)}
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny laughs..
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Fringe chuckles. I shall have
to see what I can do... Got to try to help put up the CANCON of the con." to
Tal_Greywolf.
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "FOX is showing a '92
flashback. Scary."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "two minutes!"
{ehhhhh... wrong. 11:58 started this log, bozo!}
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> Blackwolf wonders if Alodara wants to come
along too
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel hears someone setting off fireworks
outside
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "someone find a station EST!"
Alodara at Underground Nexus> You softly growl, "I was there. The don't like
snow indoors. :)"
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule reclines back and murrrrs in the
water.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "Hey, we're all reclining."
[Leave it to a furry to notice this convient position before anyone else.]
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny turned on the TV!!
[Good Johny! Now go to your room like a good boy and make your bed!]
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "The people, Blaze. TV, the
environment."
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "Oh, I was trying to talk
with someone on here, and my brother and mother came in here, and had dinner
in the room, and kept talking, and I was trying to snuggle, and she really
wanted to snuggle, and they just kept coming and going and asking me
questions, and it was costing the other person money to call here. By the time
they left in RL, she had to go, too." to Erratica.
[Looks like Cyberskunk won't be getting any tiny sex tonight...]
{... and aint that a shame? a couple of minutes without Furry tinysex}
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "1 min and counting."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "wow!! look at the crazy
people. giggle."
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "That's nice Blaze.. it really is."
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You say, "then Linux is useless. its for
'386s"
{A decent and possibly intelligent discussion on FurryMUCK?}
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "You still have you magik!
Perhaps you can actually help me then!" to Johnny.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> ( Who's ball? )
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You say, "BABSIE!!"
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "Alodara?"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Hell, I need some excitement
in my life."
[ANOTHER tiny sex offer? Sheesh... I never really figured out what all
of these people found so interesting about bestiality anyway...]
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You say, "Hi, Babs."
[Whoops! Here's Cyberskunk again! His last shot at sex didn't work so now
here is try number 2]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "how many seconds?>"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver gets ready to set his
computer clock.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "Hi, did you try paging me?"
to Yozduk.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "It's 11:59 here."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "20 seconds"
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "or on fury."
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin 's player notes that this night is
different because most other people have RL parties to go to.
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> You say, "I wanna achieve enlightenment and
explode."
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You page, "Hold on, I've taken quite a liking
to Alodara here and want to see if she wants to come along" to Conway.
[So how many tiny sex offers is that now? I think we are up to 4 now.
Maybe all these furries should get a life and find something better to do
than PRETEND to have sex. PRETEND. But maybe thats all they can get.]
{*shrug* ... sounds plausible to me}
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "seriously, tho, do you recommend
any particular supply houses? (please feel welcome to tout AcuSport here :)"
to Blaze.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "7"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "hello?" to Sevnara.

Qgar at West Corner of The Park> You say, "hey, we have three hours yet!"
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "it's done!!!"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Yozduk GRINS

{well put Mr. [] :) }

Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page-mail "Something strange is
going on with you.. I can't page you without getting an error message." to
Yozduk.
[Now there happened to be a bug in the page program with the edit we made.
Cyberskunk needs to buy a clue and figure out that Yozduk is not supposed
to own the page program anyway. This was the first opportunity for people
to see that there was something wrong. However, later in the logs MANY,
MANY other people report this bug and NONE of them clue in that something
is obviously amiss.]
{gee, it's a shame that we couldn't have tested it fully outside of the
furry environment, but oh well. I guess this just helped us to prove the
cluelessness of a few furries}
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Smiles. Happy near year!" to
Japhet and li'ir.
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "YES YES YES"
[Yozduk: 1. Furry: 0.]
[Actually, at this point I'm at 2, since I've crashed furry once before.]
{gee, you didn't mention that? got a log?}
[No, sorry. It was a quick hack anyway. I did it using their guest
character and nothing else. I didn't even need a wizard to teleport me out
of the guest room. But it did corrupt the database and cause them to loose
2 or 3 days of work.]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin chuckles a bit at Blaze
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> Gatsby chirps, "happy gnu rear!"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I love this!"
[This is guaranteed to be a memorable one. :) ]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule grins.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua waves to the future people.
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "Happy New Year!"
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Smiles. Happy near year!" to
Japhet and li'ir.

Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule drinks!
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua lives in the past.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny casts his spells as a fireworks show
goes up high above all of you..
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Happy New year East Coasters!"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver sighs and watches his smurf
dance before him.
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "can anyone hear me?"
[Now keep this in mind. All of the people who have been in the logs have
NOT gotten their messages across. They were *SO* clueless that they did
not notice that no one was paying attention to what they said.]
{I guess I just needed that final reassurance besides the silence that our
code was working, color me non-furry :) }
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Yeah, you too." to Babs.
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Karen_Larson says, "Happy New Year,
east coast folks!"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Yozduk laughs.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Yeah, you too." to Babs.
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> You say, "and the loudspeaker said..."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny watches as the fireworks explode into
different colors and spray confetti all over..
[Johnny is certainly watching the fireworks, but no one else is. :) ]
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver sits up, through being
depressed. He smiles. Suddenly, he feels good.
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel records time-of-death on Grandpa 1992.
"12 midnight, just like all the rest... queer thing."
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You whisper, "one moment" to Conway.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk sings, "It's a joli,
holi-day.."
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You say, "Now, don't forget to have ham
for dinner, with Black Eyed peas for lock and collarg greens for lots of Green
money coming in for the new year"
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Gott~ra g/{..."
[Gott~ra g/{? What on EARTH is a gott~ra g/{?]
{could that be some furry language, oh wait, I see now: 'Gotta go' after
the typos take effect.}
[And who would have thought that 'Master-typer Bobcat' would make a typo that
fubar-ish!]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule BLINKS?!?!
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "*snugs*" to Lissel.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "I can't page to you
without an error...." to Babs.
[Take a look at that... You page, "I can't page to you without an error"
Why did he send the page in the first place? Rocket_Raccoon establishes
himself as yet another clueless person on furry. This is the second person
who has noted problems with page.]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "oh."
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You whisper, "why do you ask?" to
Belvedere.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I thought you said Ryoule."
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver 's wings flap strongly,
creating a warm breeze over the hottub.
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You page, "oh, howloo there again!" to Logan.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "What?" to Rocket_Raccoon.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule hugs MAdraRua and lissesll and
dreamweaver and Johnny..
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "DAMN ROOMIES!"
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> Qgar heads home.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk skates on his grey'n'white
feet, sans blades.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule removes his non global hug thingy so
he can hyug. :)
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hugs a lamp.
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "happy new year all!"
{at this point I just wanted it stated in the logs that I did say happy
new year :) }
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> ( fireworks burst over the park )
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You whisper, "I'm having trouble functioning
here!" to Conway.
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Fringe smiles and and hugs you
tight, boucing up a bit. "Happy new year...Was good spending it with you."" to
Tal_Greywolf.
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Karen_Larson says, "Ah, well. Gonna
wander."
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin grins a bit and just relaxs back
in the corner to watch, just another year to him
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "There goes a New Years' gunshot from
the folks next door."
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hugs a towel.
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, ";Smiles. Hpappy new ear.. . and
may it treat you well..." to Mirage.
[And you have a Hpappy new nose!]
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny runs around hugging people..
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Karen_Larson smiles,
murring a little. "Well, Happy New Year to you, too!"" to Tal_Greywolf.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hugs a wall.
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "ok, let's go"
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny hears the fireworks in the distance..
Lochiel at West Corner of The Park> Lochiel pets Gatsby's uppermost surface.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I don'tknow, Korthedon.."
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin shrugs to Korth
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "why did you disconnect on
kalaysia?" to MadraRua.
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Living Room> You transmit, "snugs you tighe. "Happy
New Year!"" to Lyle on your watch.
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel ducks as the slug breaks the windowpane,
and rolls, and prepares to return fire! (kidding.)
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hasn't the foxiest idea.
{at this point I figure MadraRua realizes something is afoot, since she has
hugged many things including a wall and towel. It's a shame she couldn't
tell anyone...}
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You quietly say, "Its better than singing Ang
Size?"
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You page, "howloo?" to Logan.
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> You whisper, "are you the origional babs?"
to Babs.
[No, this is the Babs bunny 2000. It walks and talks and says and poses just
like the real babs, making it the perfect clone! No one will know the
difference! Just send $19.95 to ImAStupidFurry, c/o Yozduk & Co or call
1-976-I-Am-Clueless. Please have at least 666 major credit cards ready.]
[And you thought that a furry would know every single 976 number...]
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk looks at the soggy, cold
cheesecake on his French textbook, and at the remains of cheesecake on the
green carpet someone else is responsible for.
[Note: At this point, everyone started hugging each other. An ameoba named
Korthedon made a comment about how s/he wished s/he could hug people.]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "you can squish."
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Because it's the new your,
Korht. Would you prefer we kissed?"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "some of us don't have lips."
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule squishes Korthedon.
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "Conway, let's go"
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Mirage can't spell this year like last year..
must be my accent.
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "You should be expert at it
Korthedon!"
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> Gatsby chirps, "Rodin. Friend and
contemporary of Gaughan."
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Sevnara snickrs, you could wrap around
people, Korthedon...
Alodara at West Corner of The Park> You softly growl, "Hello."
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "happy new year!!" to Japhet.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "happy new year!!" to Taisia.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "oh no, I can't page."
[Person number 3 who notices it]
{a stark realization, if there were a bug in the say gagger, would Ryoule
have say'd that too? :) }
[Judging by what happens later in the logs, I'd have to say yes. :P ]
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Hiya!!" to Lazuli.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "hmmm.. anyone ladies care to
give me a new years kiss?"

Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "for i head off to slumber?"
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "lousy roomies..."
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Sevnara acks
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "snuggles." to Lazuli.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk gets mildly depressed and
sits down.
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver thinks we need a song.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "Darnit.. Yozduk is editing page."
[If Ryoule had a shread of intellegence, Ryoule would have noticed that
Yozduk should not have been editing page in the first place since Lynx, not
Yozduk, owns the real page program]
{funny, I don't remember a '*' by my name to denote that I was in an editor}
Chris at West Corner of The Park> Chris prods fur. "happy new year."
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Naneth kisses you back hotly.
"Why. thanyou!"" to Tal_Greywolf.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "happy new year!!" to Japhet and
Taisia.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "test" to Japhet.
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "But what's appropriate?"
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny will take that as a no.. giggle.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You murr, "Yozduk... your cmd-callpage is
busted."
[4 people. And we (yozduk and I) thought that MadraRua of all people would
at least notice that lynx should have owned the cmd-callpage program, since
we thought that she'd be less clueless than other people]
{guess we thought wrong...}
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "test" to Ryoule.
{I can't help but wondering what he did after not receiving that page}
[Yeah. :) But you know what? When I edited the whisper and page programs,
I made it so that you WOULD get output if you paged yourself (or page
#mailed yourself). So if page didn't have the bug in it, it would look to
him like the page program was working perfectly, and therefore that everyone
was merely ingoring him.]
{oops, I had forgotten we put that last mod in :) }
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Happy new year! (East Coast)" to
Lazuli.
Belvedere at West Corner of The Park> You say, "I had my own show, but it was
cancelled because I chewed up all the cue cards"
[Thanks for sharing... I really care. Honest I do.]
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "thanks, happy new year." to
Somer.
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> Gatsby chirps, "are we going to do this
three more times?"
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Living Room> You transmit, "Sorry... The crowd was
starting to get to me." to Tal_Greywolf on your watch.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "people are whispering.."
{PUHLEEZE! people must be whispering...all 30 of them in the room. Uh-huh,
I buy that.}
[And HOW many monkeys just flew out of my butt???]
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Bobcat's purrs and hugs you
gently as his tip oozes out a lot (to you) of pre-cum" to Sevnara.
{is this routine? I'm glad its not done but in whispers!}
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "I'm getting an error
with cmd-callpage." to Yozduk.
[Now 5. And STILL no one has figured out that there is something wrong.]
{funny how I didn't get that page until later on.}
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "sorry. :) didn't mean to page all
at once." to Japhet and Taisia.
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel goes to Yozduk, "SHHH!!"
{I believe this is the point at which I destroyed my exits in order to speak
to the crowd.}
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin idly scans a tape jacket
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "oh, Hi Yozduk. :)"
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "la" to Cyberskunk.
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Happy New Year Lissel!"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "because people are partying
on their own..some have been trying for that last climax of 92."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "you missed it conway.. but.."
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You chime "Yozduk...I'm getting an error on
cmd-callpage."
[we are up to 6 people... 6 clueless people...]
{you'd think by now someone would have at least listed the program to find

doesn't do any good since they can't get any messages out without getting
rid of the exit.]
{well, technically, anyone with a mucker bit could get out of it at this
point since our cover-all global exit hadn't been made}

Cyberskunk at Acme Acres> You page, "If you're trying to page me, please try

myself, looks to be infections, as well a page action on myself that is liked
to yozduk. It seems to be a sort of infection program. It seems to be spoof
page pose say are now trapped on myself. I have logs of the program and the
actions on me." to Lynx, Shaterri and Tugrik.
[Ok. Someone has tried to tell the wizards. But they still haven't figured
out that maybe, just *MAYBE* those exits do something different that the
real programs do.]
{I wonder if anyone had done an @ps at this point. It probably would have
been a long list judging from all of the people talking}

Chris at West Corner of The Park> You say, "someone dies."
[Isn't that taking S&M a little far, Chris? Or are you more into
necrophilia?]
{I don't know what this is in reference to, but it seems Chris knows what's
happening. With a name like 'Chris' he doesn't seem to be a furry, maybe he
isn't clueless like the others. Then again, he could be talking to someone
who isn't yet infected.}

Ya know, I thought UT had better admission standards. Obviously not, if
assholes like "Yozduk" can get in.
I've seen people who don't like Furry; who call things like TS a waste of time
and/or energy; who claim that Furries in general have no lives.
Now, the operative question, is, who has less of a life? The Furry, or the
person who's sole means of entertainment is to spend hours and hours writing a
virus to annoy those Furries?
"Yozduk", you are a classic example of a person who needs to get a life, and
badly. I wonder how many friends you have, if you enjoy invading other people's
lives and then making fun of them.
I was -sorely- tempted to email you several core dumps, but that's the kind of
thing people like you do. And I'm not going to stoop to your level.....

Of course, this says something about the admission standards of Furry too,
since they let Yozduk in, and gave him a mucker bit....

He probably likes to program, at least to some extent. So had the program not
been useful against FurryMUCK, he might have gotten almost as much
entertainment from it anyway. I also bet the ensuing ruckus will last a
lot longer than hours and hours, so as far as expenditure of time/amusement
ratio goes, this one's probably quite good.

Inside of 25 minutes. From activation to detection to eradication. Boy am I
impressed. NOT! And your log. You seem to be taking enjoyment as people
explore the limits of the bugs you installed. You're not much of a
programmer. Sure, people didn't notice that the wrong person owned page, but
changes happen all the time on FurryMuck, and lots of people don't pay
attention, they just use it. Also, anyone with a builder bit can remove your
infection. Clue for the Clueless: EVERYONE on FurryMuck has a Builder bit.
I was online at the time, strangely, it didn't infect me. Guess it's not as
effective as you thought. But then, all adolescent hackers like to puff
themselves up.
Of course, it's bragging like this that gets computer criminals caught. Yes,
that's right. I said Computer criminals. What you did unquestionably counts
as malicious computer tampering and there ARE Federal laws against this.
Lucky for you, Hawkwind is in Canada, but it is a government owned machine.
If it had been in the US and the sysadmin (who in this case is also a player)
wanted to be an asshole, you could be up on charges, and unlike the guy who
wrote the princeton worm, who got off with an easy 400 hours of community
service, now the judges are handing down jail time.
Virus hackers are NOT very popular people. If you really want to show off
your meagre programming talents, do something constructive. ANy idiot can
smash things.

Happens all the time. In fact, your log only shows one instance of TinySex.
considering that people are on Furry for conversation and cameraderie, I
guess the concept of a friendly scratch on the head is alien to an asshole
like you.

Amazing what you interpret as TinySex. You must not be too aquainted with
the real thing. As for Bestiality, I thought only humans had net.access? If
you think there's real animal sex involved here, you're even less in touch
with RL than the Furries you hate so much.
And why DO you have such a hard on for harassing furry anyway? I never
understood that.

Maybe you're so repressed because you can't even get VR sex either. That's
why you spend your time harassing other folks who aren't doing you any harm.
I bet if it weren't for the net, you'd be joining the PMRC or something.
Oh, and notice in the rant about tinysex at the top of this post, he makes
sure to mention that he has a RL sex life. RIGHT. It comes montlhy in the
mail with a plain brown wrapper. People with SOs don't have nearly as much
time to Muck.
>[Well there you have it folks! The crashing of furry all in a nice, neat

More puffery. You didn't crash Furry. It didn't even breathe hard. You
didn't infect even half of the players online. In less than half an hour,
your bit of bullshit was neutralized. I'm not impressed.

<AHEM> Excuse us for being trusting. Not all of us are paranoid; some of us
tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. And this is the first time in a
long while someone abused their mucker status on Furry to this extent.
BTW, it has been pointed out by many people that 'Yozduk' is not a UT student;
the original post had a forged header, being from a UMinnesota site.

The original virus lasted less than half an hour; Yozduk and his pals seem to
have gotten more of their enjoyment out of -attempting- to make Furries look
silly with their little log file plus comments. And that's a rather telling
fact, isn't it?
I doubt this little flamewar will last much longer; Yozduk's site is known, and
he will probably be IDed soon. At the very least, he won't be making any more
postings to r.g.m.tiny, at risk of someone tracing the posting. This kind of
thing has an inherently limited half-life.
And I, for one, won't be making any more posts on this subject after this one.
And I recommend that everyone else on Furry let this die down as quickly as
possible, to avoid giving 'Yoz' & company more to read and giggle at.

No, Furry, and MU*ing in general, is -part- of a lot of people's lives. For
some of them, an important part; for others, less. But deliberatly disrupting
someone's hobby because one finds it stupid or silly is the -height- of

I wonder what's worse, people who are fixiated with getting tinysex and

better to do than write infectious software and cause electronic vandalism.
At least the folks engaged in TS are minding their own business...

Aren't we assuming that every "clueless" person here wants to be a MUCK

I don't know where these two clods come from, but I get the distinct
impression that they got their juvenile kicks from a New Year's Eve romp of
vandalism and voyeurism. Their views of Tinysex and FurryMUCK and furries
notwithstanding, it's just plain wrong. It's one thing to @recycle Yozduk's
character, but that's not enough -- someone should contact the administrators
of their computer accounts and lob some high-ordinance disciplinary action in
their direction.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this.

do it in public or force others to watch) and probably OFF the ladder of

For one, folks, not everyone who plays on FurryMUCK is a programmer, or
has a M bit. I, for one, do not. I go there for roleplaying my
character, and if that involves tinysex, so be it. At least I have some
common sense, unlike a bunch of people who keep posting logs about the
'evils' of FurryMUCK.
I, for one, do not have time to waste to track down MUF programs, or
even learn the language. That is what the joys of being both a student
and a network administrator will do for you. So, bud, if you wish to
call me stupid, you had better talk to the users of the 200+ computers I
maintain every day of the week.
Isn't it amazing how people always go out of their way to go after
FurryMUCK players? People with some common sense, who don't like the
genre and the roleplaying there, just don't log in there and don't
always talk about it in venomous tones. But then, as witnessed, who said
Yozduk and his ilk had any common sense?

Actually, the Canadian Criminal Code has a few provisions of its own. You'd
be surprised just how much is possibly applicable. In any case, the relevant
files can be found in full on ftp.eff.org. Whether a machine is government or
privately-owned isn't an issue. Of course, the ethics of the situation are
more relevant than any legal question, IMO.
Regardless, from the Canadian Criminal Code:

Well, true. But the question is not only "is it real", there's also a
question of hypocrisy. I wonder how many of the same people who said "you
shouldn't complain, it's only a game" when that catchphrase was useful in
defending FurryMUCK will react likewise, when the same 'argument' is now a
defense of an attacker? Not many, I'll wager, and I am pointing this out.

No, sorry, wrong, *bzzt*! Not _one_ comment in that entire log was made
by me. I simply crossposted it to a wider audience. Go back to high
school and bone up on your reading comprehension. The virus-infecting of
FurryMUCK was a pretty shitty thing to do and I wait eagerly for the
cretins responsible to get their just desserts.

Note: "my" does not mean me, Joel Furr, it means "me", whomever authored
the post. Yoz...@cs.utexas.edu does not exist, as the sysadmin there has
stated. There were apparently two culprits: one person who played the
character "Yozduk" and one who played another character, also present.

Yeah, we're piecing things together.
1) People who looked at the virus code said "my, this programming looks
verrrrry similar to code written by Targhan." Targhan is a player on many
MUCKs who was responsible for disrupting events on MasqueMUCK with a
program that made everyone slur drunkenly, among other things. Targhan
plays the character on FurryMUCK called "Korthedon." Korthedon will deny
being Targhan but has admitted being Targhan to several people. Targhan
and Korthedon also have the same email address, mty...@staff.tc.umn.edu.
2) Korthedon and Yodzuk showed up at a New Year's celebration on FurryMUCK
together, right before the virus hit. They showed up, the virus hit.
3) The email message (i.e. "the gloat") this follows up was posted as if
coming from the University of Texas, making use of a mail-to-news gateway.
The sysadmin there has posted that the gloat originated at staff.tc.umn.edu.
Not really proof of anything, but heck, why not:
4) After the virus had shut down, Korthedon wandered around FurryMUCK,
hanging out quietly in any area where the virus's work was being
discussed, saying nothing but in all likelihood logging every word to
show to his accomplice.
I don't know who Targhan's accomplice was, i.e, the person who played
Yozduk. I assume that either Targhan or his accomplice wrote the gloat
post, authoring it as coming from "Yoz...@cs.utexas.edu" since
"Tar...@cs.utexas.edu" would kind of given the game away. I am sure who
wrote the code, however. Comparing the virus code with other programs
written by Targhan has been sufficient circumstantial evidence to convince
several people familiar with his programs and his style of play. The fact
that the gloat post came from Targhan's home site, staff.tc.umn.edu,
further points a finger.
Let's put it this way. Targhan/Korthedon and "Yozduk" show up at a Furry
party. The virus immediately strikes. The virus program looks very
similar to Targhan's style of programming, a very idiosyncratic style.
Then, the gloat post shows up, mailed from his site. It doesn't have
Targhan's fingerprints and wallet left at the scene, but it comes pretty
damn close.
Finally, departing from evidence available to all, I have been told by the
wizards after supplying them with some information needed to show that
Targhan and Korthedon were one and the same that Targhan/Korthedon were
heard telling a few people he apparently presumed he could trust that he
planned to infect FurryMUCK with a virus. I don't know when, I don't know
where. I don't even know who told the wizards this. Make of it what you
will.
I don't know who Targhan's sidekick in the virus misadventure was -- or
which one of the commenting voices in the gloat log was Targhan's and
which was that of his accomplice. I _do_ know that Targhan was in it up
to his ass, and if you dislike what he did, why not mail
mty...@staff.tc.umn.edu and say so?
Ted Vessenes
proof. I did it. I admit it. And I am sorry that I did do it. Yeah, right
you'll probably say. Well, I was planning to admit it on the net earlier,
but again... Yeah right. Anyway... I am sick of telling lies to people and
screwing people over and so on and so forth... HONEST! [HONEST(tm)?] I
do not think it was right that I put the virus on furry muck, and I wish I
hadn't. I also want to apologize to all of the people in the log I flamed.
that should not have been done either, and I'm sorry for that as well.
This has caused me much more trouble that it was worth, and I didn't even
get any enjoyment out of crashing the place because people kept on saying
that 'that person' was being very annoying/etc. The reason that really hit
me (whereas people saying that they weren't impressed, or that we had no
life, or whatever did not) was because it was true. I guess I'm a sucker
for morals, but if I had listened to my conscience in the first place I
would not be in this situation. Again. I'm sorry. Doubtless some people
will believe me; some will not. But you have the truth there in front of
you whether or not you choose to believe it. I promise that I won't do
another thing to crash a MUCK (or MUD, or MUSH, or whatever.) I wish my
word meant more, but its the best I can do. I'm sorry; I really am. I
also have the problem that 'Sorry isn't good enough,' at least for most
people. Are there any suggestions on what is enough? What else can I do?
I have given my word that I would not do this again (and although many of
you will choose not to believe it, it is the truth and I will stick to it).
Furry never lost any information. Furry got the security changes to FB
code made. The only thing left is that there are still two other people
running out there free when they should be punished. And this leads into
some more problems.
First, there are not two people. That is not much of a problem. The real
problem is that I have already promised that I would not reveil the name of
the other person I worked with. Here I am up against a wall. If I tell
you who it was, I've broken a promise (and therefore my apology above is
no longer valid since it contained a lie.) If I don't, everyone (most
everyone) will think that I am not relaly sincere, since all I did is say
sorry. That is why I'm asking you to take this at face value. Its all I
have left to go on. The reason I am not saying who my partner was is that
I don't believe it would be morally correct to do so. If you want any
chance of figuring out who it was, don't pester me; it won't do any good.
The only way you will be able to is to convince me (philisophically) that
it is morally correct. If you wish to do so, you know my email (but I'll
give it anyway: mty...@staff.tc.umn.edu) and you can send me mail if you
want to argue about it. (Would you like to buy an argument?) Information
that might be of use: I am a Christian and am not of the Catholic sect.
Will there be flames to this news post? Most likly yes. But I'd suggest
against it. I have said I'm sorry and have asked for input on anything else
you can think of that I need to do. I wouldn't respond to the flames anyway.
All it would do would be to prolong this event when we are close to the end.
Happy New Year, Furry. Honest.
Ooops! Almost forgot to say who I am. Targhan.

This is *not* a flame.
This is *not* an apology.
This is, in effect, a spontaneous post regarding the actions (which
have already been discussed over and over and do not bear repeating)
of mty...@staff.tc.umn.edu.
I know Targhan in RL and it is true, he does have a subconscious need
to explore security leaks to their fullest. In fact, when I had a
test muck of my own up on ux.acs.umn.edu, he felt compelled, even
as a wizard there, to look for security leaks and exploit them.
Actually, I'm glad of this -- it has helped me work on my coding as I
realized that I should fix any security leaks I caused in my
modifications to TinyMUCK. I won't go in to these. It has also
helped me release many security leaks to the staff of DaemonMUCK who
run it on NewDay (also known as (char *) 0 as they haven't thought
of a name, and formerly known as PythonMUCK) through their mailing
list. Whether they thought to fix those leaks I am not sure.
Simple program included at end of post showing said leaks.
I will, however, vouch for his integrity in his apology -- I know that
if he is saying that he is sorry, then he truly is; he has found
that it's hard for him to keep a dirty conscience without telling
people. He also belives that the only way to be free is the truth, and
his logic (or is it rationalization, eh Targhan?) is nearly always
infalliable.
Let this be the last post on the subject -- I hereby hope to close the
problem except through email. Feel free to argue with Targhan, on a
mud, or through email; I have always found it to be a thoroughly
enjoyable and enlightening experience.

FurryMUCK on New Year's Eve. It's a good thing I wasn't on that night,
not that it would have affected me anyway (for your information, gentle-
men [and I use that term loosely], I am an excellent programmer, and
catching bugs is one of my specialties.)
It's amazing how juvenile some people are in this world, that they have
to draw attention to themselves in a manner like this. I personally
know enough about many of the furries mentioned in that log (which, in
itself, is a violation of privacy - but then, assholes like these two
have no sence ofdecency, do they?), and none of them are as sex-crazed
as you seem to think they are.
For your information, Furry is where people get together to talk, have
fun, and have a chance to get away from the rigors of everyday life.
Most of these people probably have very successful lives and loves
outside of Furry. It's too bad you guys (and you know who you are)
don't seem to have a real life, conisdering the time you spend screwing
around with systems that you'd be better off staying off of.
Oh, and I hope the system admin at hawkwind doesn't get your e-mail
addresses. Losing your telnet access is not a nice way to start your
year.
