At last summer's ONE BBSCON in Atlanta he hosted an educational session which touched on a wide range of issues related to data integrity. He discussed various threats to data and of some of the more common myths about viruses. What follows are some of the highlights of what turned out to be a very interesting and educational session. "A virus is just one threat to your data," Wolfgang Stiller began. "There are many treats. There are hardware problems, or the power can drop out at the wrong time and damage your executables and your data. Viruses are a subset of the software problem area. There are all kinds of software problems and many times they can look like a virus. These are the ones which are most difficult to defend against." He talked about a very common, but often overlooked source of viruses. "Beware the repairman. You call the guy and say my PC is not booting, or its doing flaky things, the first thing he is going to do is pop a diskette in your A drive and boot it. That diskette has probably visited a dozen other PCs in the last 24 hours. Be real careful after your repairman visits your PC, do a quick check on the thing to make sure that he hasn't left anything behind." The session continued with a discussion of the different types of viruses. "Logic bombs are basically something destructive, or something malicious, or sneaky hidden within a legitimate program. A trojan is really a specific type of a logic bomb that is embedded in something which appears to be legitimate. Sometimes trojans are originally drawn up as an ASNI program. Back in the early days people would just take FORMAT.COM and put a little front end in there to run it, or a batch file, and format your disk. Upload it and say this is a neat game, as soon as your run it, you format your disk. That is really not a logic bomb, just a destructive program that somebody's claiming is useful. These are not that big of problem, in general, because they will not spread. You can't imagine a BBS Sysop getting something like that uploaded and giving it to somebody else. You're not likely to encounter too many of those. They are more of an issue on networks, the Internet worm is the most famous example." "Viruses are different because they spread from one host program to another. A virus can't exist only by itself, its got to have something to infect, its got to have a host program to attach itself to. What is a virus. Viruses are not some mysterious thing that you have to be a genius to write, or really sharp to understand. They're really simple things. Especially nowadays when there are a lot of so-called virus writers who do not really understand what they are writing, they run these canned tools that kick out assembly language, that if they're lucky they can get to assemble. Half the time they don't run correctly, but they upload them to somebody's board and we have to scan for them. There are a lot of junk virus writers out there." "A virus is a program that replicates by attaching versions of itself to other programs. The piece of code that is attached is not always the same. When the program is executed, the virus code executes first. That is generally the way it is done. It executes along with the legitimate code. Virus code executes, legitimate code executes, the user doesn't see anything wrong. The virus then infects other programs. Ultimately, the goal of the virus is to infect more programs, otherwise it wouldn't be a virus. Some viruses all they do is go resident in memory the very first time and once the virus is resident in memory it can infect programs whenever it feels like. A lot of viruses infect any program that you look at. So, if your scanner does not recognize a virus and the virus has infected the scanner, which has happened many times in the past, every file scanned may become infected." Wolfgang Stiller also talked about some of the virus myths that have been circulated for years. To this day, BBS Sysops still have to fight with these perceptions. "Virus myths and mythical sources, this is one that hurts a lot of us that trying to make a living in this business. I started off marketing my product through the Shareware route. I've had people interested before in my product and they find out it is available on BBSs, or its Shareware, and the corporate door slams shut in my face. This is largely due to publicity that was done early on by one particular anti-virus vendor, who also got his start in Shareware, who basically put out a list of things to do. And on that list, that was basically duplicated in the press, was avoid BBSs, avoid Shareware and Public Domain software. There is absolutely no fact behind that at all. It just seemed to make sense, well, gee, share files, Shareware, that's got to be bad. Oh, BBSs, there are files available for download, dangerous stuff. Absolutely no fact. I mean, obviously, any time you get some code it could have a virus in it. BBSs, Shareware and Public Domain software are no more likely to have a virus than going off to your retail store. As a matter of fact, the statistics I've seen show the opposite. Retail stores frequently take software back, re-shirk wrap it when its been returned, and other unsavory practices that can spread viruses. Of course, major software manufacturers have shipped viruses straight from the factory. The U.S. Census Bureau sent an infected disk out with CD-ROM they had. Practically all the major manufacturers at some point in time have made a slip-up. It is very easy to do, it doesn't mean that they are bad companies, or anything like that. There is no absolutely safe source, you can get it many places." Wolfgang Stiller elaborated on the fact that on-line sources are just as safe, perhaps safer, than other sources. "On the whole BBS Sysops are very virus aware. The on-line services are generally very virus aware, using multiple scanners. It is very unlikely to get one there. Computer store personnel, there are exceptions, mostly they are not very virus aware. They sometimes accept returns. I've never heard of a computer store that scanned its software." He also passed along some advice on which type of virus scanners were the best ones to use. "Resident scanners are not as effective as the non-resident ones. That type of scanning technology can be disabled by a virus." Wolfgang Stiller has done fairly well with Integrity Master. Those who purchase the anti-virus program receive a book called "Defeating Viruses and Other Threats to Data Integrity." The first half is the "Integrity Master Users Guide" and the second half is about "Data Integrity and Viruses." The book makes for very interesting reading, covering topics such as, Threats to your Data, Protection for your PC, Virus Myths, Virus Realities and the latest information on viruses.

No, I'm not talking about the information superhighway or interactive movies, I'm talking about Cyberspace, the premiere buzz-word of the '90s. It's been talked about by some of today's most influential game designers, and I feel it's time to shed some light on the mystery. What is Cyberspace? Imagine this scenario: You're talking with your friends. Let's call them Bob, Katie, and Frank. You whisper something to Bob, and he breaks out laughing. Bob and Katie can't hear you. Little do you know that Bob and Katie are whispering to each other. Suddenly, a fly lands on your keyboard and you're brought back to reality. What I've just told you about is one of the simplest forms of Cyberspace, a form you can experience on any BBS with a teleconference feature. In the example I just gave, you were in a place. Not a physical place like your local library, school, or museum, but nonetheless a place. Congratulations on your first trip into the wonderful world we in the trade call Cyberspace. But Cyberspace isn't always used to refer to BBS chatting and teleconferencing. In fact, most of the uses of the word Cyberspace deal with VR, or Virtual Reality. Most people think of Cyberspace as the virtual world that you're immersed in. One of the best places to experience Cyberspace right now, without going broke, is on The ImagiNation Network, an online service founded by Sierra On- line. What ImagiNation does is allow people a chance to talk, chat, gamble, and even kill each other in the fantastic online games available. For example, in Sierra's online FRPG, the Shadow of Yserbius, you converse, attack, or join other people in your quest to learn the secrets and solve your quest. In fact, some people, such as Ken Williams himself, would argue that the conversation and social interaction between others is even more important then the actual game itself. When you think about it, it's a lot more fun to play a game with two, three, or four people rather than playing alone. The ImagiNation Network is a true example of Cyberspace and allows you to simply live another life. I could go on and on about the features of the ImagiNation Network, from the facemaker to the ever popular Red Baron to the marriages occurring because of the network. In fact, Rush Limbaugh even met his future wife on an online service (though not INN). I could talk about the great chat capabilities and all the nice features, and how INN has really evolved over the past few years from it's Sierra Network beginnings, but I won't. Instead, I'll talk about one of the benefits(?) of Cyberspace. Let's go back to a previous example I used earlier in the article. I talked about how Bob, Katie, Frank and you were talking and whispering to each other. Suppose you're chatting with these people on a BBS and you've never met them in real life. Since many BBSs let you use handles, you don't know these people's real names and many times you'll never know. So Bob, Katie, Frank could be simply handles on BBSs. Who knows? Bob and Frank could be girls, while Katie could be a boy. Let's suppose that you're chatting with these people and you get into an interesting discussion and you find out that someone there, let's say Frank, shares the same point-of-view as you do. Instead of judging someone by how they dress or their physical appearance, you judge them by their personality and what's inside. Admit it. Within seconds of meeting someone, you start to form opinions about that person based on stereotypes that society has fed you. Because someone has a different haircut or dresses differently often will turn you off before you get a chance to really know the person. But once you actually understand a person, you don't really care what gender, race, or appearance they possess, you just know how they are. But isn't this benefit hampered once you're on the INN? After all, don't people know how you look from you're face you created? Not necessarily. When you get right down to it, your basic persona and face that you create can be totally off-base. You can modify yourself on INN, or completely change your sex while online. You know that everyone you meet's face or gender could be a complete facsimile, and so you still don't judge anybody from the way they look. I like chatting with other mature people without having to worry about whether or not they'll make fun of my appearance, or make derogatory comments about me based on how I dress. So now you know what Cyberspace is, now let's get into the gaming aspect of it all, online games. While INN is great for games, you can find some great games all over the country on local BBSs. Earlier I mentioned that playing a game with/against two, three, four or five people is more fun than playing alone or against the computer. But why is it more fun? This leads to a rather obvious answer: People love company and cyberspace is a gateway toward it. In Cyberspace you lead a virtual life in a virtual world, whether it be in the world of INN or the world of Neverwinter Nights (the D&D based America Online title). And just like in a real world, there are real people. I like stand alone games as much as the next guy, but getting the same responses and figuring out the characters' one sided personalities gets boring after a while. After all, it's much more fun when you can identify with a character. When you're in Cyberspace in an interlinked virtual world, you have the opportunity to talk to real people connected to you through your computer or other device. Another reason that playing with or against a friend is more fun is that you can figure a computer out. After playing the same flight sim for a few hundred times, you learn the computer's algorithm. When you beat the computer, you know that you really didn't beat anybody real, just the opponent the programmers designed. But when you're flying a Sopwith Camel and shoot down someone else, you know that there's someone else flying that plane. And that's a rewarding experience! I could give examples from any genre, from resource management to arcade/action, but I think you get the picture. Working with friends and other people gives a new dimension to a game, the human factor. And the human factor has much more personality and unpredictability of any computer algorithm. Where can I "jack in" to Cyberspace right now? If you want to spend some time in a few "virtual worlds" you could try a BattleTech center or a Virtual World amusement park, but for those looking for a casual alternate universe to spend some time in, the forementioned INN makes a great choice. Not only does it offer chat sessions and allow you to make more friends than you ever imagined, it has some of the hottest multiplayer titles around. For those who wish to sample Cyberspace before logging on to an expensive online service, or for those nervous about giving out your credit card number, you can sample Cyberspace on your local BBS. Most BBSs nowadays have at least a few online doors where users often compete with each other to conquer the galaxy, build an empire, or just play an old fashioned game of Solitaire. So no matter what you're cup of tea is, you can find it cruisin' through Cyberspace. Editor's Note: Thanks again to Paul Pollack for another great article.

As part of our ongoing comprehensive coverage leading up to the event, this month the Pasco BBS Magazine takes a look at this beautiful facility. The multi-purpose Tampa Convention Center, owned and operated by the City of Tampa, was built at a cost of $140 million and had its official grand opening on October 19, 1990. The building features 600,000 square feet of functional space with all the amenities to host an event of this magnitude. With the extensive use of maple trim, large mosaic tile renderings and plush patterned carpet, this meeting center is definitely state of the art. The location, at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, provides a wonderful setting. Considering the 2,000 feet of waterfront view, Riverwalk session rooms and outdoor patios, it would be difficult to find a more attractive place to hold a convention. Some of the facts and figures on the Tampa Convention Center follow.

Rob Marlowe, Sysop of Pasco's oldest BBS, wrote about "Pasco BBSing...The Early Years" in an article for the February 1994 issue of the Pasco BBS Magazine. It is interesting to note how much things have changed over the last ten years, especially when compared to this day of 28.8 modems and gigabyte hard drives. Here is some of what Rob Marlowe had to say about the earliest days of bulletin boards in Pasco County. "The Inner Sanctum BBS went on-line on March 8, 1985, and at that time there were two bulletin board systems in West Pasco. The Windjammer's Bay, a Commodore 64 based system run by Steve Watford, and Fast Eddies' BBS, an Apple // based system run by Ed Black. Both systems ran 300 bps modems and used floppy disks for storage! The Inner Sanctum brought high speed (1200 bps) communications and a hard disk for storage (a whopping 10 meg drive). All this running on a five slot IBM PC! Shortly after our first birthday, the system was coming up on call number 20,000. I'd have never believed that sort of response by folks in West Pasco could have been possible. There were only 60 or 70 folks using modems then, so that meant each one was calling quite a bit!" Editor's Note: PBM Flashback will appear on a regular basis in future issues. Most issues will have this brief look back at some of the features which have appeared over the history of the Pasco BBS Magazine. + + + + + ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º º º ßÛß ÛßßÛ ÛßßÛ Ûßßß ÛßÛ Ûßßß ÛßßÛ ÛßßÛ ÛßßÛ ßßÛßß Û Û ÛßÛßÛ º º Û Û Û Û Û Ûß ÛßßÛ ßßßÛ ÛßßÛ Û Û Û Û Û Û Û Û Û º º ßßß ß ß ß ß ßßßß ß ß ßßßß ß ß ß ß ßßßß ß ßßßß ß ß º º º º ÛßÛ ÛßÛ Ûßßß º º ÛßßÛ ÛßßÛ ßßßÛ º º ßßßß ßßßß ßßßß º º º º Since 1985 - Pasco County's Oldest BBS º º º º Sysops - Rob & Carolyn Marlowe º º º º Popular Chat Board, On-Line Games, CD-ROMS, Internet, FidoNet º º º º Ten Lines - (813) 848-6055 (813) 944-5533 º º º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + + + + + Net Worth --------- Written by Shawn Berg, New Port Richey, FL Why are we all arguing about America Online, Prodigy, and Compuserve? In PC/Computing's September feature, "Online Fever" (page 140), they state that you can get a basic Prodigy membership for $14.95 a month, which comes with five free hours. Additional hours are $3.60 a piece! All or MOST of the information you can get on these on-line services you can get on local bulletin board services like The Storm's Fury, Board of Trade, Studio-PC and MANY more! You can also get this information on plain Internet! I get unlimited access to the full Internet for $29 a month! There is no extra charge for more hours. Online services like Prodigy give you five free hours (which might sound terrific to you) just to get you addicted. Trust me, those five hours will go extremely fast! And on the Internet, you can get twice as much as on America Online, Compuserve, and Prodigy! So why pay such outrages prices? PC/Computing's response on page 28 of the January '95 issue: "Net Worth" "I'd PAY for the on-line services rather than surf in cyberspace because they're better organized. Like PC/Computing, these services filter out the noise and organize information so you can find it easily. Case in point, I did a keyword search on WWW for cat (as in tabby) and pet. I got some feline information, but most related to computer-aided tomography and proton-electron transfer." (HB) Now what do you think? I would like to take a vote of most of Pasco County's BBS users and see what they think is more worth it and send it to PC/Computing. So leave E-Mail to Shawn Berg on the Board of Trade BBS (862- 4772), or leave E-Mail to IceBerg on The Storm's Fury BBS (843-8905/849-2272). I appreciate your cooperation. Editor's Note: Thanks to Shawn Berg for the interesting editorial, and we hope to see more editorials from him in future issues. The Pasco BBS Magazine will print any interesting responses received in a future issue of the magazine. So if you have some feelings about "net worth" send them along. The Pasco BBS Magazine wants your opinion, and welcomes opposing viewpoints. Readers are encouraged to send along opinions on any BBS, or computer, related issue. + + + + + 1995 BBS Event Schedule ----------------------- With all our coverage of the upcoming ONE BBSCON '95 in Tampa, one might think that this was the only on-line event scheduled for 1995.

Try to access Sysop functions. 9. Experiment with the ascii keys trying to find backdoors. 8. Upload a 5k file so they can download a 500k file. 7. Attempt to obtain multiple accounts. 6. Complain that they should be able to download anything they want since they're doing you a favor to even call your board. 5. Hang up inside a door. 4. Leave a Comment to Sysop asking for information that's already available in the bulletins. 3. Say, "I'd send money if you had more nodes." (So you get more nodes and they don't call back for a year, during which their account has expired.) 2. Request commercial software. 1. Distribute viruses and trojans.

This is typically done to add a humorous thought onto the message. The Pasco BBS Magazine will on occasion run some of our favorite taglines found while browsing the local nets.

The company has been criticized in recent weeks for replacing processors on the basis of need rather than on request. Intel will take a reserve against fourth quarter earnings to cover costs associated with the replacement program. The flaw can produce reduced precision in floating point divide operations once every nine billion random number pairs. Intel said that while almost no one will ever encounter the flaw, the company will nevertheless replace the processor upon request with an updated version that does not have the flaw. This offer will be in effect for the lifetime of a user's PC, which means that users can conclude they do not currently want a replacement, but still have the option of replacing the chip in the future if they wish. Intel is making a rapid manufacturing transition to the updated version, and expects to be able to ship sufficient replacement parts to meet demand during the next few months. "The past few weeks have been deeply troubling. What we view as an extremely minor technical problem has taken on a life of its own," said Dr. Andrew S. Grove, president and chief executive officer. "Our OEM customers and the retail channel have been very supportive during this difficult period, and we are very grateful," Dr. Grove said. "To support them and their customers, we are today announcing a no-questions-asked return policy on the current version of the Pentium processor." "Our previous policy was to talk with users to determine whether their needs required replacement of the processor. To some people, this policy seemed arrogant and uncaring. We apologize. We were motivated by a belief that replacement is simply unnecessary for most people. We still feel that way, but we are changing our policy because we want there to be no doubt that we stand behind this product." Intel will send a replacement processor to PC users who choose to do the replacement themselves, and will offer telephone technical assistance. Call 1-800-628-8686 for details. Intel also said it planned to contract with service providers to do replacements at no charge for PC owners who prefer to bring their PC's to a service location. Details will be provided in the next few weeks. Finally, Intel said it would work with its OEM customers to provide replacement for PC users who prefer to work with the manufacturer of their system. The company said it would take an unspecified but material charge against fourth quarter earnings to cover costs associated with the replacement program announced today. Intel said it was unable to determine the amount of the reserve, but said an estimated total will be provided on or before January 17, the date of Intel's 1994 financial results announcement. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of personal computers, networking and communications products. Editor's Note: The above is from a press release from Intel and all inquiries should be directed to them. + + + + + Corrections and Clarifications ------------------------------ Last month's Special Second Anniversary Issue had a mistake in the masthead, as the year was listed as 1994 instead of 1995. This was the first time that a mistake in the masthead had occurred and hopefully that type of mistake will not happen again. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Matt Holden did not submit his Hallways segment for this month's issue. Hopefully, his series of door game reviews will continue in future issues. + + + + + Next Month ---------- The March issue of the Pasco BBS Magazine will have a special feature on seniors on-line, and some may be surprised just how many have jumped on the information superhighway. We will have all our regular features including more on the upcoming ONE BBSCON '95, a PBM Flashback featuring Dam Linton of Software Creations BBS and more computer humor courtesy of ROTFL Digest! There will be another article from Paul Pollack and news about a new project he is working on. Hopefully, we will have some responses to this month's editorial on net worth. There are several articles in the works for future issues, including the first "Pasco BBS Magazine Lifetime Achievement Awards." Each year we would like to reward an individual who has made a significant contribution to the Pasco County on-line community. We are now taking nominations for the award from readers of the magazine, so if you think someone is deserving of some recognition, please let us know. Award recipients will receive some sort of plaque or certificate for their efforts on behalf of our community, and will be featured in an article in the magazine. Do not miss an exciting issue of the Pasco BBS Magazine!
