From: nsa.usa on 10 Sep 2007 14:09 Hi, Anybody know which is the smallest computer virus out there? I've googled and yahood but nothing. so far it seems maybe trivialow.13 is the smallest (at 13 bytes) but can't find any info about it. I seem to remember a few years ago the smallest was around 35 bytes but don't remember the name. Anybody have any info on this? Thanks! Cheers Tobias

I'm not sure if you're looking strictly at viruses, but the smallest worm was Slammer (376 bytes). http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,108996-page,1/article.html Also, you might also be thinking of exploit code, which could be even smaller - but would contain no payload.

The code and notes were published on Virus Heavens http://vx.netlux.org. I didn't call it anything (no room in the code for a BIG name tag!) maybe that was the one named trivialow.13 by the Avers ;]] The target offset address was derived from a random value provided by one of DOS internal data structures to the input parameters of an Int 13h BIOS call. So if by chance the target address allowed the bug to overwrite the start of a valid DOS .COM executable it would have a chance to replicate again. However given the trivial nature of its design the chances of getting in the wild are next to zero *grin* email the owner of Virus Heavens and ask him to dig it out. Also you will find some interesting ideas of small self-replicating bytes in G9N #1 zine. > I seem to > remember a few years ago the smallest was around 35 bytes but don't > remember the name. Anybody have any info on this? I don't remember the name of this bug but it does feature in one of the back issues of a VX zine. > Thanks! > > Cheers > Tobias 4Q

The smallest virus of all history was PLuRG! by Rodzilla/Dark Avenger. It is so small it is completely undetected by any AV for all those years.
