Computer Virus

Origin of Computer Virus Development
Translated by: Komarudin Tasdik


The first virus appear in the world with name [Elk Cloner] was born about in 1981 at TEXAS A&M. Spreading through Apple II diskette in the operating system. The vandal displayed message on a screen: “It will get on all your disks-It will infiltrate your chips–yes it is Cloner!-It will stick to you like glue-It will modify RAM too-send in the Cloner!” Hi……………….


The name “Virus” itself was given after 2 years from its birth by Len Adleman in 3 November 1983 in a seminar discussing ways to make a virus and protect itself from virus. But people often consider that first virus is virus [Brain] that was born in 1986. It’s proper, because this virus is most appalling and most extending its spreading because creeping through DOS diskette that became a trend at the time. Its birth also is equal to [PC-Write Trojan] and [Vindent].

Since the time, a virus began to get of the best of the world. Its development is most appalling and ill-fated! Every other year appeared first virus causing infection on a file. Usually what’s attacked is a file with extension *.exe. This virus has name [suriv] included into virus class “jerussalem”. Speed of its spreading is most ‘jarring a heart’ for the moment. But this virus is ‘not very evil ko’, because this virus strikes hard and horsewhipping mainframe of IBM in not long time, only a year (eh a year is long or not ya….?).
In 1988, grew BESAR attack to Macintosh by virus [MacMag] and [scores] and Internet is beaten up in all-hollow by virus made in Robert Morris. In 1989, there was a not serious person who sent file “AIDS information program” and its misfortune, when this file is opened, gotten information is not about AIDS, but virus that encrypts hard disk and requires payment for its opener code (hehehe…there are ways of people to get money).

Since the moment, spreading of virus is not calculated again. But its impact is not biggest. In 1995 began to grow attack great fully. No halfway, they attack big companies among others Griffith Air Force Base, Korean Atomic Research Institute, NASA, IBM and there are still many other MASIVE COMPANIES that is persecuted by “INTERNET LIBERATION FRONT” in a day ~Thanksgiving~. Because of braveness and dreadfulness of the attack, in 1994 it is named as a year for hackers and crackers.
Hackers are never satisfied. Every growing of new operating system or program, they have been ready with their new viruses. You who often type in MS Word may ever found virus Titassic. This is an original local virus from Indonesia lho…and the unique, this virus remember us to pray (shalat) on time (ouch! it is pious too, alright..). But it is not wrong, macro virus with title [concept] also can have heart of very evil, ill-fated and savage. The problem of the pious and evil one will finish-off 80% files of data and programs as its victims.

Here, in a row with developing of technology, grew first virus that combines macro virus and worm. Its name is enough sweet [Melissa]. But it is not as sweet as its name, this virus will spread to other people through e-Mail and what will be most pain, it will spread to all e-mail address in your address book. And this moment grew billions viruses that meander unregulated in Internet world.
