Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Stoned is the name of a boot sector computer virus created in 1987, apparently in New Zealand. It was one of the very first viruses, and was, along with its many variants, very common and widespread in the early 1990s.The phrase is found in infected boot sectors of infected floppy disks and master boot records of infected hard disks along with the phrase "Legalise Marijuana". The original version appears to have been written by someone with experience only with IBM PC 360KB floppy drives, as it misbehaves on the IBM AT 1.2MB floppy, or on systems with more than 96 files in the root directory. On hard disks, the original master boot record is moved to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7. On floppy disks, the original boot sector is moved to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3. Cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3 is the last directory sector on 360 Kb disks, and the author believed that it was "safe" to overwrite. The virus will "safely" overwrite the boot sector unless the root directory has more than 96 files.
