  • Counteracting Viruses in MS-DOS Systems
    86-01-35 Counteracting Viruses in MS-DOS Previous screen Systems A. Padgett Peterson Payoff The trapdoors programmed into the first DOS-based personal computers still persist today, providing relatively easy access for viruses and worms. By learning how malicious software exploits these weaknesses, security managers can develop a coordinated defense to counteract virus attacks now and in the future. This article describes how MS-DOS start- up processes can become exposed to viruses, discusses various intrusion methods, and presents techniques for designing a safe computing environment. Problems Addressed Today's personal computers still bear striking similarities to the first units created during the 1970s. All of the trapdoors and loopholes developed by systems experts to permit BIOS-level programming in the early stages of development of these systems are still present today, providing easy access for viruses, worms, logic bombs, and Trojan horses. It is alarming that such low-level programs are no longer being fully documented by manufacturers; they are currently treating as proprietary the techniques that were widely disseminated just a few years ago. Administrators and systems managers who are responsible for the millions of dollars of corporate investment in trusted computing systems typically lack an in-depth understanding of these systems. Unfortunately, penetration techniques, though not readily available, are known to an underground of hackers. Although numerous antivirus products have become available, these products are as available to hackers as to legitimate users. Fortunately, defenses are available to the corporate systems manager that cannot be readily compromised by the individual computer user. A trusted computing environment can be developed that is low in cost and user impact, one that not only has a high degree of reliability but permits natural and easy growth.

Abstract This thesis probes the causal elements of product platform strategies and the effects of platform strategy on a firm. Platform strategies may be driven by internal or external forces, and the lifecycle of a firm and of a platform strategy evolve over time in response to both the needs of the firm and the changes in the external environment. This external environment may consist of a “platform ecology,” in which the platform strategies of firms affect one another.
