| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Stoned is the
name of a boot sector computer virus created in 1987, apparently in New
Zealand. It was one of the very first viruses, and was, along with its
many variants, very common and widespread in the early 1990s.The phrase
is found in infected boot sectors of infected floppy disks and master
boot records of infected hard disks along with the phrase "Legalise
Marijuana". The original version appears to have been written by someone
with experience only with IBM PC 360KB floppy drives, as it misbehaves
on the IBM AT 1.2MB floppy, or on systems with more than 96 files in the
root directory. On hard disks, the original master boot record is moved
to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7. On floppy disks, the original boot
sector is moved to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3. Cylinder 0, head 1,
sector 3 is the last directory sector on 360 Kb disks, and the author
believed that it was "safe" to overwrite. The virus will "safely"
overwrite the boot sector unless the root directory has more than 96
files. |
