Class,

The Malware Museum was opened 4 days ago at https://archive.org/details/malwaremuseum (Links to an external site.).

You will join the first week visitor to the museum on Tuesday, Feb 8th 2016 evening. This will be a virtual field trip in lieu of our face-to-face class meeting. 

What is Malware Museum

"The Malware Museum is a collection of malware programs, usually viruses, that were distributed in the 1980s and 1990s on home computers. Once they infected a system, they would sometimes show animation or messages that you had been infected. Through the use of emulations, and additionally removing any destructive routines within the viruses, this collection allows you to experience virus infection of decades ago with safety".

Objective

Visit the Museum, choose a malware from the collection and study it.  Post a brief description of the Malware and it capabilities. Your post should be in your own words based on your understanding of the malware that you examined. Text-book style posts are discouraged.
