The virus first appeared in Windows Vista
The beta version of Microsoft's new operating system was released only eight days ago, but an Austrian hacker succeeded in writing a program to exploit the Monad function and was considered the first threat of Vista.
According to Mikko Hyppönen, research director of F-Secure, the virus was written by a "Second Path To Hell" self-described hacker (the second path to hell), whose real name is Mario, belonging to the underground hacker group. claim to be the Ready Ranger Liberation Front in Austria.
The virus was released July 21, just days after Microsoft released the Monad system function that was included in the code for the Beta 1 beta. Unlike the previous Windows graphical user interface depends on the mouse to navigate. , this system function allows users to use text commands (text), very similar to DOS, predecessor of Windows
Due to its complex nature, the new system function is a great opportunity for hackers to exploit."Monad is very similar to Linux's BASH function, meaning it contains a lot of commands and functions," Mario said."We will be able to create as many complex codes as we have done with Linux."
F-Secure named this virus strain Danom.After checking the code, Hyppönen confirmed Danom could not cause significant damage to Windows users."However, this is clear evidence that the idea of writing viruses is able to discover new lands and new foundations."
Most security experts are surprised that the virus does not appear so quickly in Vista."The operating system has been released for only eight days. The surprise here is that the malicious program came too early, even a few days before the operating system was introduced."
Microsoft has no feedback on this issue yet.
