Amiga Bootblock Reader v2
Hi all, im releasing a new version of my program Amiga Bootblock Reader as i now have very little time to work on it due to getting married etc and my old version is a buggy mess and so..
Changes include: - 1107 Bootblocks now recognized - Bootblock installer with 687 bootblocks (No viruses and most non-standalone bootblocks removed) - Rewritten directory scanner, now multithreaded - Bootblock ripper to allow ripping of bootblock code from amiga programs without installing - Revamped interface with pics drawn by me - So many changes i have forgotten lol WIP: - Brain file manager Program: ABR2.00.zip (.NET 3.0 Required) Please post any changes you wish to make to the brainfile to this thread or attach the 'bb.brainfile' file to a post at the end Last edited by jasonver2.0; 01 December 2016 at 13:42.

Interesting project !
great work I was just thinking if one could export a bootblock to BinHex, we could save bootblocks as text files. If MD5 for each Bootblock is known, we know we have a authenticated way to recreate disks. Can one imagine a whole DMS/ADF converted to XML format ;-) |

hi jasonver2.0
your program does not check that the file is not locked by another application before reading / writing eg: "Test Run in WinUAE BB" if %temp%/temp.adf is already used by WinUAE Since my previous post I found many errors in the database but I did not take notes, sorry. Overall, you forget that the virus (80%) mutate after each contamination... If you like challenges, there is a very rare virus, which has so far never been identified (not sure ). His name is "Nightmare-Loader". good search |

2. I have scanned virus bootblocks from many different sources and all have come up accurate (as far as i know ) - some bootblocks have been hard to pin down such as Lamers, Tai-Pan and others, I presume these are the kind of bootblocks you speak of. I need many examples of the same bootblock in order to find commonality for detection. If you could tell me which ones do this i will remove them from the brainfile as the detection will be useless 3. Ok lol |

Sad news because I use your program regularly. I hope someone will take over. You plan to provide your bootblock collection too?
In any case thank you, you helped me a lot for my own program ^^ |

New update:
- The detection of the entire family of viruses "Lamer Exterminator" has been reworked (decoded version removed!) Note: Numbering based on VirusZ III - Changed the name for many virus clones common - Remove some unnecessary space characters - Some unimportant things ^^ - Alphabetical sorting of the database If these changes cause regressions, thank you for the report here. bb.brainfile [2013-02-25] removed Last edited by Crashdisk; 02 March 2013 at 09:01. |
