-------------------------------- Enter-View with Zed [rRLF] -------------------------------- Why Zed ? Don't really know... just short and simple really, and I don't know of anyone else in the vx scene with the same nick Where do you live ? How`s the viral situation in your land ? I live in Australia. I'm not really sure of the situation regarding computer viruses and stuff over here, I don't think I have seen an Australian vx group... What are your hobbies (except coding) ? I'm not really into sports that much, but I do enjoy playing some of them... I like Cricket and sometimes Boxing. What languages do you use and which one is your favorite ? I prefer to use Visual Basic because you can code programs faster and more easily than some other programming languages. I can program in VBScript, which is probably my best programming language. I can also code JScript, and I'm trying to learn a bit of Visual C++ 6 and batch at the moment. Is theire someone who knows about your viral activity ? Most of my friends know that I can code computer viruses... They probably don't care because I don't send them out to other people or run them on thier computers. I just code computer viruses because you learn more about the language, and when their really isn't anything else worth coding. Do you have viral friends ? Enemies ? I have one friend who is into malicious coding, but he mostly programs "trojan-stlye" programs and basic tools. This one is for my zine: How do you consider batch ? I think that batch can be very affective and has some better capabilities that other languages (such as VBScript) cannot do like running in MS-DOS, but I think that it is mostly limited because other script languages have become the majority. What's your favorite AV and why ? Probably Norton AntiVirus because more options and is able to withstand some trojans which try to turn off the antivirus scanners. Do you like payloads ? Not really... I am into making worms more than any other malicious program. I like making them "stealthy" so that they can steal passwords, etc. I there is a noticable payload, the computer user will realise that there is something wrong with their computer and format it or someting. I think that worms survive better without a payload. What are your favorite zines ? Don't really konw. Probably ones that include a variety of programming languages. Any girlfriend[s] ? Nah not at the moment. Tell us something funny `bout yourself. Don't really have anything that is funny about me that stands out. Do you think there`s life beyound this planet, too ? Nah, don't believe in aliens and stuff. What`s the best thing that happened after joining the viral scene ? Dunno really. I learned how to code. Do you think virii making is dying ? Nah I think it is growing more than anything, as easier programming languages like Visual Basic come out, the more virii-writers there will be. If you would ever be accused & caught 4 something, after that, would you create any new virii ? Nah, I'd probably be to angry or annoyed. How do you see the life without dangerous codes [virii, constructors ...] ? Probably the same with computer worms, etc. Any future plans ? When I finnish my education I'd like a job in the software-area in the IT industry. Where can we see your works and how can we contact you ? Just at this email address [Zed@rRlf.de] or http://www.rrlf.de/ Ok, thanks for that interview. Zed
