GoKawiilDeveloper Ardiri Releases 1.5GB Palm OS Archive, Finds 25-Year-Old Virus Source Code
Longtime Palm OS developer ardiri has published roughly 1.5GB of historical Palm OS development materials, including SDKs, conference talks, documentation and sample code, on GitHub for preservation and research purposes. While sorting old backups, he also rediscovered source code for 'Virii,' a self-replicating Palm OS virus he wrote and tested in June 2001, which infected applications via infrared beaming and included a date-triggered payload meant to disrupt system clocks in late October 2001.
