Art/culture of computer viruses

Art/culture of computer viruses 09/24/2004 05:36 AM
David Pescovitz: BB friend Alessandro Ludovico of Neural.it magazine points us to "I love you (rev.eng): The Aesthetics of Computer Viruses," an exhibit he's involved with that prem iered in Germany and is now on view at Brown University in the US:

"I love you [rev.eng]" is divided into four investigative areas - political, cultural, technical and historical - and focuses on the controversial positions of security experts and hackers, of net artists and programmers, of literature experts and code poets...

What can visitors to the "I love you [rev.eng]" exhibition expect?

- Force computers to crash with "Sasser" or "Suicide"
- Experience a global virus outbreak in real time via a 3D world
- View security concepts and methods for preventing global network attacks
- Witness computer viruses as works of art like "biennale.py" and "The Lovers"
- See films by hackers on their subculture
- Learn about programming languages as the material for contemporary poetry
- Juxtapose experimental literature and code poetry

Stopping Computer Viruses Before They
Reach You 11/12/2003 01:33 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "The Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) announced that one of its computer science teams has developed a new technology to stop computer viruses and worms before they reach your system. John Lockwood and his team didn't use software. Instead, they created an open platform that augments a network with reprogrammable hardware, called the Field-programmable Port Extender (FPX). "The FPX can scan each and every byte of every data packet transmitted through a network at a rate of 2.4 billion bits per second. In other words, the FPX could scan every word in the entire works of Shakespeare in about 1/60th of a second," said Lockwood. Real products based on the technology should appear soon. More excerpts and references are contained in my blog which also includes a photograph of an FPX module." I'm a little confused as to what the big deal is about this. It's basically doing two things: put antivirus protection at the network level instead of the end client, which isn't a new idea at all and using an FPGA hardware solution instead of software (which they seem to be saying is faster). Am I missing something, or is this not that big of a deal?

Happy 20th Birthday, Computer Viruses

Happy 20th Birthday, Computer Viruses 11/10/2003 11:02 PM
The BBC is reporting that this week is the 20th anniversary of the first computer virus being created. Apparently, others had discussed such a program, but no one had actually written a virus until 1983 by a PhD. student at USC. The virus was just a demonstration of how a virus might work on Vax systems. Apparently, folks who saw the student's presentation were so angered by it that they told him to stop running such tests. Of course, banning something often seems to make it more likely to spread - and (as you're probably aware), now we have viruses everywhere.
