- SIMPLE ENCRYPTION METHODS -
Encryption is perhaps one of the key parts of writing a virus. If you
have a virus that prints a message to the screen, you don't want infected
files to contain that message.
One easy way to encrypt data is the XOR method. XOR is a matamatical
function that can be used to cifer and decifer data with the same key.
Example --
FF xor A1 = 5E
byte to encrypt^ ^key ^result
and likewise
5E xor A1 = FF
So as you can see an easy way to encrypt/decrypt sensitve data is with the
XOR function.
A popular virus that demonstrates this teqnique is Leprosy-B. By studing the
below example you are on the way to make simple encrypted viruses.

; <LEPROSYB.ASM> - Leprosy-B Virus Source
; Copy-ya-right (c) 1990 by PCM2.
;
; This file is the source code to the Leprosy-B virus. It should
; be assembled with an MASM-compatible assembler; it has been tested
; and assembles correctly with both MASM 4.0 and Turbo Assembler 1.0.
; It should be made into a .COM file before executing, with either
; the "/t" command line flag in TLINK or Microsoft's EXE2BIN utility.
;
; This program has the potential to permanently destroy executable
; images on any disk medium. Other modifications may have been made
; subsequent to the original release by the author, either benign,
; or which could result in further harm should this program be run.
; In any case, the author assumes no responsibility for any damage
; caused by this program, incidental or otherwise. As a precaution,
; this program should not be turned over to irresponsible hands...
; (unlike people like us, that is).

While the virus is no great wonder the simple encryption method is what is
used by almost all viruses.
