Greetings & Gripes _____________________________________________________________________ From Sea4 Sea4 would like to take a moment for the following people/progges. My girlfriend for being the best thing since sliced bread. :) Maybe even better. Cyrix for building my kick ass 6x86 CPU. Jeff Duntemann who wrote Assembly Language: Step by Step SPo0ky for running the best virii group around. Arsonic for being quite a relief from coding. Opic for being quite the fast learner. Toad for running the zine. F-Prot, for letting me test my encryption against it. T-Bav, for the same reason. I kicked both their asses. ~knzyvo} from hamburg, and if you don't know why, YOU ARE A LAMER! Ralph Brown for making the virus coder's best friend (Interrupt List). Sliced bread for being the best thing since non-sliced bread. VDAT creator Cicatrix for making the virus coder's good buddy. ~knzyvo} again, I pay homage to you... *Sea4 bows reverently*. Amanda, (my computer) for taking every single glich I could dish out. Non-Sliced bread for being the best thing since dirt. (not very good with butter) Ralev who is just joining the game. The 8 FISH, I haven't found you yet, but I will. Oh yeah, there is someone looking for ya! Ms. Dos for being the best operating system ever. Ms. Dos Editor for being the best text editor ever. Debug.exe, pretty old but still a good debugger. Bill Gates who made the biggest virus ever (Windows 95). Myself without whom none of my work would be possible. _____________________________________________________________________ From Horny Toad Thanks- to SPo0ky for leading this wonderful group of ours and helping out tons with putting this mag together. I couldn't have done this without your help! to Opic for helping out with proof reading the mag and coming up with so many good ideas for the group. Look out for some kick-ass articles from Opic in the future editions. Great job dude! to Sea4 the encryption man. Thanx for the great articles. They are really easy to understand and helpful.
