Cascade.1491

Description Cascade.1491

This is a memory resident virus. Its body except for the beginning (first 32 bytes) is encoded. As a key the length of the infected file is used. That is why two strains of the same virus in most cases will coincide only in the first 32 bytes.
As an infected program is executed, the control of the JMP command is transferred to the beginning of the virus. By first commands the virus determines the length of the source file and deciphers its body.
On creating its memory-resident copy the virus:
copies its body into the highest addresses of the memory;
moves the body of the main program into the highest addresses of the memory;
moves the virus body into cleared area above the main program body;
sets INT 1Ch, 21h, 28h to its own copy.
