Interview with Nightmare Joker
by Serialkiller[CB]
[1999]

Tell us a little of you

> Into the computer scene I entered 1992 with an Amiga 500. Nice section for demos and computer games, but otherwise read yourself on it make not much. At the end of of 1993 I procured myself RK 286 with 1 MB RAM and a CGA a monitor. The thing was really fires at slowly, but nevertheless mega cool.;) After it I was inserted briefly by a friend into the world of the VTX Cyberspaces, began to learn Pascal and asm to coden and now and then chop demos. In it I was however honestly said never particularly good. Probably, because I was always too impatient for a hacker and nothing could be waiting ;] 1994 I got RK 486 DX/2, along that I then actually only demo gecodet, Mods processed and the remaining time with computer games spent.

How did you come on the name Nightmare Joker?

> I love any type of black humor and that am " Nightmare Joker " evenly to obtain. I contrast to many other Codern, which geklaut your aliases of any heroes, arranged myself I my pseudo. If it concerns my alias, I can rather arrogantly and become vain;))

How did you come into VX the scene?

> At the end of of 1994 sent a friend DOOM 1. to me (still one of my favourite plays:) Naja, in each case was on the disks not only DOOM 1, but also the nice small Cascade virus. Since I called virus scanners up to then rather unnecessary and memory-corrosive, the thing spread enormously. I do not believe it gave COM and EXE file on the hp and almost all disks, which were not stricken. Heheh. Naja, in each case I had then suddenly constantly system crashes, scannte sometime the hp with Thunderbyte AV and was first quite frightened, as if sogut like everything infected was. After I had gotten over the first shock, the curiosity and I packed me began the a few infected files to divide. It was to be seen somehow totally interesting and cool, how the thing functioned and could without problems " loudless " my whole hp infect. After this incident I began to then collect viruses to divide and to improve my asm Kentnisse. When 1995 the Concept virus emerged and verflucht itself fast spread, I transferred to WordBasic and almost only macro viruses divided and gecodet. I created September 1996 then together with Neophyte and The Underground Prophet the new VX group of " SLAM ". Actually was to be at that time become planned the first macro viruses Coder group of the world, but after The Underground Prophet and Neophyte already after first again disappeared and I do not like honestly said desire had the new group again to give up, took up I also some non macro Coder and in such a way developed a rather good " allround " group.

What fascinates you in such a way at viruses?

> At first it was still fascination over the various possibilities of virus programming and after a certain time actually only the existing development war between the anti-viruses companies and VX the Codern. In principle a type is second " cold war ". A page develops and the other one over-bids it again. Whether someone wins sometime?

Why were you for longer time of VX the scene away?

> After at the end of of 1996 condemns my viruses almost in each CHIP and PC world, as well as many other magazines emerged, I became honestly said somewhat nervously. Once one of its own viruses in a magazine see, are really totally cool and one is pleased about it also gigantically, but if sowas too often occurred and one excites too much attention, one can get fast much annoyance and whereupon had I somehow no desire.

Why did you go from the group of SLAM and ne own group did open (SOS)?

> I was almost 1 1/2 year away from the group and wanted there any longer to clean-burst simply in such a way and not say: " Hey, there am I again - absofort everything hears on my command! " In any case one is me the group now somewhat too inactively, in order to waste there as cautious Member my time. Naja to open a new group was not heavily. When I stepped out at that time of SLAM, also stopped few other Coder. Friendship? Loyalty? No notion, why they did. In any case ones were to be entered few immediately ready into the new group with. From from this again thank you to the new Pseudo's Dr. Beckmann and dimensionally axiom. ;0 I would like to be simply member of a good active group and therefore I also again its own group opened.

What would your largest desire be times regarding virus writing?

> My largest desire? TC... A virus to a neurales network attach! On the question " which is the sense of the life? " it certainly with " 23 " responses heheh

Which AV scanner do you use?

> Standard all way always AVP and F/WIN 32.

Do you chop also or do write you more viruses?

> In former times I chopped repeatedly mail or better said with Telenet played:) But that is already for a long time ago and now code I actually only viruses.

Tell us more of your group of SOS

> " into the Sign OF Scream " is actually a normal allround group. The only difference to other groups is perhaps the fact that we have absolute no rules in the reference to contents of the viruses. Everyone knows from me ALL DESTROYING Payloads or rosa farbene pigs also dancing on the display charms. Only which we require, are [ the SOS ] characters within the viruses or Trojaner. Also that spread from viruses with us one does not punish. I have up to now still none mine almost 50 viruses spread (some even not published) and it in the future will not also do.And if times a mad downloads one of my viruses of my homepage and it world-wide common, it passes me also the ass. Otherwise also would salesmen have to take the responsibility to legal weapon Shops for crimes, which were committed with of them rightfully sold weapons, or? The members of our group by the way are: The Wombat (second more leader), dimensionally axiom, Dr. Beckmann, Pflorik, ULTRAS, VeiN, Flitnic, VPAM, Ruiner, ZeMacroKiller98, lord Arz and WaTeR WiSdom.

> Our first of magazines will come out by the way shortly. CHECK it out here: http://www.sourceofkaos.com/homes/njoker/index.html

Do you meet also with other VXérn personally?

> No, I did not make up to now ever. Somehow also the " public " aspect of a personal meeting does not please me particularly.

Which programming languages do you know?

> Basic's (Qbasic - power basic, WordBasic, Asic, Visual basic, VBA and some other small basic languages), Pascal, assembler, few Ada and a few Script languages. Actually I use however only the basic languages.

How your opinion like do the viruses look the future?

> Probably all will try now on the VBScript or Java course will jump up, but as soon as the Browser gets protective functions, the fun will fast past be. The only sort of viruses, to which I would predict " for a long time " a future am the Win32.HLL viruses generally. To coden easily and to adapt also just as easily again new conditions. All Win95/98/NT ASM viruses is naturally still better, to coden but but very with difficulty. Naja, we will see, what brings us the future.
