of our resident DJ's, plane decker T.S.Kakwa Sir, tizkaya kwa naho panaona maze Thank you so much for making this kila concept Kwanzaa, first thing big up was wajimashareki J nazimengafon do nyumbani I went to Fife on the Nyumbani Kubalantanga wajangul, kwa semilanda I was just standing here, before I went to produce it Naka muka deoza nita m이라 kuwana girio galo Nu kransimana mua kikwana soll kwa kula Kila, that was 2 years ago Tari wa 2 years old It's not new It's not new Tari wa 2 years old But it's not new Was watching that interview Kulukwana Pat, kulukwana Jerry I'm going to do a song called Kila And I think it's DJ time So for me, I think I come out of my cocoon And try and collaborate And try and push myself more Rather than kukakwa studio Even Neshke, you never know When I go to YouTube and it's like that And I see how it is And now I have a video So it's just about Seeing people who are supporting you And supporting them back Because I reached them And I reached them So it's different marketing For the song I was thinking it's a big up I'll come through I was thinking it's a big up I was thinking it was a tari So it was a marketing I'll come through You come through It's like a Mondia And I'm DJ TS And you come through So you must be in the Middle East And I'll find my way And I'll be there So for you Collaborate with the TS I'll go strategic Going more And I'll do the projects They'll be very different Because if you are a market Reach out Ataka ma, to nagalibi nezas iti yana This person must go mother Because i'm trying to... Market put myself out there because Because I think that's how he is They are not influential And they are like grinding Taka I think that's how he is Kona wsak na na nino Liza Nahadi is a challenge The Después that T근jata sing Is hard to get gop어력 traditional jende jende jende jende jende Noho. Mga sorr designed. It's just you and you. Sit down I'm going to do my own music video. It took a lot of courage. I had to do a lot of research, I woke up in the morning, kablani washenduzi, naena na piti research za movies, the kind of color grading I want, the kind of lighting that should be there, the kind of camera I need. And then I find somebody when I deliver villaina taka and then I find another person who will compliment so that it comes out. I don't think most people who watch the video now, they don't know how much work and also the money again and the plumbing, it was something. Come and see what I do. In a video I respect what I do because it's not easy for them. Jibi Afrika? Yes. Ni ni ni fans wako awa jwi that naiza tkakwa rivili ale about you? Wow. Mi for me Jibi Afrika maze, ngewa mbia, if this one thing that they don't know about me, I think I'm the best songwriter in the world. I think so. I think so. Mi mi ni ni kipani personal view, my personal view. I don't think there is any art songwriter in the world that we can be put on a performing ni ni, on an equal ground. I don't know. Either here or abroad. Yes. Because mi ni mi train sana kuna, if you look at my songs, if you are a person who likes good music, now this is a challenge to the fans. So just a fan must maramobu wanna put off msani very easily. Go to my YouTube channel. Download my songs, listen to my songs word for word. We will tell that this song, seeing how maili talk atu, na ni kitumutu ali think about the idea behind the song. Aka put in the word. Muki angaliangu ma kama Mariana, going to learn a foreign language. Imagine. Muki angaliangu valentine code, putting codes inside a song. Manzo na jayu ni gumu, mo lafi makes sense. I have never seen personally an artist my chef anekitukayo. Even here or abroad. That's when I say I am the best songwriter. I am the best songwriter in the world. If you don't think I am the best, go and listen to any of my songs. See atu ni buchagulie, any of my songs. Any of them. Any of them and compare me with whomever you want to compare me with. Okay. And saying that you are the best songwriter. Na wuna jua, process that it takes to write a good song. What do you think about easing goma zene? Especional di gengetu onko, zende wa tuu se man. Kamatum tomu. Uuutu na sketu wa screams all over left and center. Do you think those people should sit down and just have a proper concept for songwriting? So what I learnt about, because mimi siyo songwriter wa humumu duku duku. I actually analysed lyrics of the songwriter. I analysed scientifically how many words you have used. I know. Let me pull up. So I analysed a person's style. What language has used. What the type of language. How fast, how slow. So this gengetu onko songwriter, they are not bad. But the problem is they are not structured. So when you hear some of them. Not all of them. No, most of them they are not structured. Some very few. They are very structured in songwriting. They are very good those guys. Kuna imbu zige mimi guja. Ani ma anya tari. Those guys are dangerous. They are not worth your talk. So when you look at their songwriting. It's very shambolic. It's not organized. Iko tu paale tu apa. But you see when you are going to compete at an international level. You need akina buzige. You need akina nani. Okaliwao. Because those are the people who can communicate to Uganda. Atok tu miya language ya kenya. With good songwriting. They are not the problem. That's not the problem. So in writing it has its own principles. No na.  Mimu anya nili kachin nika na. Ok gengeton mimi kuja. Nami je nipata naiweb. So what can I do to adapt. Nika jii. Nika jii set pole pole. Because it was a challenge. They gave us a very big challenge. Mu niya uko kwa gengeton. Kutua naija kwa club. Naija lukwa mejiawa. Manu ki nga tu kwa mimi kwa club. Na kwa nimi. Asa kwa u niya rebanji tu niwa saafi. Tu wato e piyao. Tu kwa iya na kujakura. Nili kwa na kuliza pa tu before. About what we need to know from Ihajiwewe. Jeriogalo. Na kina Alpha Gery. And I was asking if there is something coming from you guys. Jeriuewe na kina Alpha Gery. All good song writers. And you have good content, good music. Feel good music. Is there something coming from Definitely. It's just the releasing that we have problem because The whole idea behind the studio is let you first begin akiwewe kwa asa. Build yourself. Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa song kwa kwa na some weight. Uya letewake. Uya letewake. Kwa kwa song ina kwa something better. But asa sa iya niya, kwa maybe msi ni moja ako lilax kama mimi ni kwa lilax na tina kwa jaku hiti kwa collabo. So it was good song. Even though you kwa nangotya. Yes. Producer na kwa kwa kwa na kila mituwa changa muke kwa asa. So it will be murder. It will be strategic because wakona fans ako mini kona So it's professionalism. You don't just do things because you can't waste this time. Izi ina took a studio ati na kuja ku recordi angoma na you don't have any plan of marketing, you don't have any plan of video. It doesn't do things like that. Nya takama mimi pusa. Uma ita aki. Uma ita aki. Uma ita aki wu kufanya kazi wu. Uya say maia ni ako very professional. Nya tumi pulo. Uma duku duku. Uma duku duku duku mazi. Akuna kwa niya kazi wu. Lazi maata fashion wu zingia tooka studio out of nowhere. Uma ita kia kwa studio niya unanotrako na kuduson. It can't do that. So ita aki kupatia that kind of seriousness. Napia wia kia na kali angoma ako chini. Ana ito agili ina fa. So you respect na good booth wuzi. Ya kia kabidi pande ako wepi wu na skumap pande ako. Nya kandiyo studi somembel. So monu ume choose ko stick naia all along. Ngo maza ko zote from Ihaji. Banda tiko don't know me. Nati wepe kia ako alfajiru ame fanya desi. Maikik tia jiri ame fanya desi. Pasuni like I speak to myself. Tiko don't know me. I have been with Ihaji for almost 6 years. Long time. Before ata ni hanzo kufanya. Before ni hanzo kufanya. Imi kwa na e skuza. Na kumkaili nkoma bati na ito ama mama. Na kuba kwangu man. Dwa na kwenia mama. Big up to Ihaji. Ihaji telifanya yung kwa. That time nil kwa na Ihaji. But that time I was very young. Ihaji ismi nili wana uja maa kuna talent. Oja mi nimeju Ihaji before sasakui in the name. In brand. Alkwa na talent lagini kunu asa ni wali kwa na mu nyesha mada rawa pa na pa. Kinawa jwa? Tiaja dwa jui. Kinawa jua. We know you all of you. Haja maju. Tiaja lagini we know you. So ni mi wana uja maa, mi na believe ngi usi believe mise ido sku tu amerais. Ona get? Ona believe from the word. From the word go. Kamu ona mtu nimukali. Now this is advice to all. Even the industry has wana bel. If you see somebody is good, don't wait. Sasa, for example, mi mi. Niki kwa na exclusive interview. Si tanda kupelikia a certain station. They didn't believe in me. They didn't believe in me. So you get. So don't wait for an artist. So, for example, like three months down the line, uski mazeni kumazangu zi metaka mita. Ndotunokta futa sasa. And then you must kia a certain DJ on another station. Anza kusima. Oji biafrika kuna marin koha ona. Sae ni kupigia sima usiki. Unita ki teimei nyesu jaki? Unita ka tu teimei ni mehi. Nwa ni kujengana. Because you don't know about the circuit in Nizapua, even at tour in the future. You don't know. Aguna ma li miandiku ala zima duke kwa timi. So you build the industry, not based on when somebody else ame pandandu sasa wana kimbia pali selfish ni ni. Mi si ami ningi. So mi no nanga yoni wuji inga sana. So ukika na mi say, build them. Say, ataka ma kuchini aji. Pandana e poli poli. Took a long time. But no na. Ihaji medis. Mi na na samanga haji medis. You made it eventually. Nwa ni took a long time. Nobody knew. So mi itaka wana of the biggest songs in Kenya in history for YouTube. Nobody knew. Kuna pere kwa na jwa. Basa you two believing in other people say, okay, I know that I have all these other producers. But Agaliya growth. Agaliya growth yangu. Woneza kwa mpea kama ni kwa ni mi rukwa. Ruga kama pere. You cannot compare. It's true. Very, very true.  But before we wind up, woneza share ma liwa tuwoneza bata your songs. And then we can listen to killer. So attention, attention. Wata, wata. Wana ni checki. So you can go and Google my name, GB Africa. You'll get everything. YouTube ni GB Africa. Africa ya K. Akuna Mariana. Akuna Kila. Kila kyu tiku afandani. Goma zangu ziko on all source. Apple, iTunes, Tiktok music, Instagram music, Facebook music. So outa sayama hati, hati yu kwa wana hati siku animi kupatia platform. Ziko karibu kila maali.  From your force, kifunga tu GB Africa YouTube. Outa kaitaji letter to you. Yes. Anything else you want to say before to ma liza? Big thank you to Y254 as a channel in a Jengasana wasani. I think it should be emulated. So for me, I can say just yani yon yon my biggest because Akina Alpha giri yon fanyani kuji. Because we are now in the post kwa status yaw na mimi nae ma producer akani yon. Wana get. So wakonai yon wana tafuta Awa kaitu chino na zema atatungo je tu naniata hit. That's how most stations ziko. Is a way they see who has naniami hit. Tuna mitaka sasa. So big up to Y254. Manze kama wuku apu ibu enji e channel niyamu imu sana. Zana. Very important. Yes. Speaking to someone who alisema we don't play upcoming artist. Uho me skia kwa kwa GB Africa. Naniami yon muhimu because tu me jenga wasani. We serious yani. Now we remember GB Africa. Gitu me kwanzo. Singo jemtu akuji ya kuwako e. Are we together? We're Gitu me. Waki kuja otakuja tuba daye. So right about now I want us to listen to Kila, GB Africa, Shakatak and of course the one and only DJ TS ka.


Okay. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to tonight's common council meeting. Madam City Clerk, quote of the week. Yes. Thank you. The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour. Thank you very much. All the 25th regular meeting of the common council order, please call the roll. Boren. Here. Bulk. Excuse. Decker. Here. Gisha. Here. Hanna. Here. Heidemann. Here. Kittlesen. Here. Clioness. Here. Meyer. Here. Montemayor. Here. Rindfleisch. Here. Ryan. Here. Suric. Here. Vanderwiel. Here. Verhasselt. Here. And Wongemann. Here. Fifteen present. Quorum is present. Alderman Kittlesen, would you lead us in the pledge? Everyone rise. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, Alderman Kittlesen. Approve the minutes. Alderman Hanna. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd make a motion to approve the minutes. Motion in second to approve minutes under discussion. There is none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Minutes stand approved. Resignations. Attorney McLean. The letter dated March 10th to the mayor. From Tudor Lee, the director of IT, advising that he was resigning his position effective immediately. Any motion to accept it? Second. Motion in second. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Resignation is accepted. Public forum. We have Henry Capitillo, but I do not see him in the audience. OK, we'll move on. Next item is a consent agenda. Before we do that, Mayor Lech Ryan, would you like to say something? Thank you, Mayor Perez, and thank you everybody here at the council. First of all, I'd like to thank my opponent, Terry Van Akron, in the mayoral race. He ran a very clean race, a very well run campaign. And I think that these campaigns should be an example for how campaigns should be run in Sheboygan. There was no mud slinging. There were no personal attacks. I believe it should be a model for how campaigns are run in the city of Sheboygan that more people possibly get involved in local politics, in alderman races, et cetera. One thing I would like to say is on the city committees that we have, I would like all of the alderman to basically put together a wish list of two standing committees and any other committees that you may want to be on, have that emailed to my email address that we can probably try to get people what they want. Also citizens out there, if anybody is interested in getting on committees, I'm basically looking for people that have expertise in certain fields and that have an interest in what happens in the city of Sheboygan. Please email me your information that we can get more people involved in our local government. That's what we're looking to do. Thank you. Thank you very much. Consent agenda. Omen, Hanna. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd make a motion that all ROs be accepted and placed on file and all RCs be accepted and adopted. Second. Motion and second. Under discussion. Alderman Kittleson. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Could we just pull out document 25-6? Pull it for a separate vote? For a separate vote. Yes, please. Okay. Do you need a motion? Make a motion to do that, please. Motion. Your motion is to accept and adopt the report committee, correct? Correct. Okay, and there's a second. Okay, go ahead. Okay. All we need to do is correct on that document. The communication be accepted and placed on file and we need to just remove and to approve the request. If you could do that, Madam City Clerk. And then the ordinance 25-53 will just go on through as written. So there would need to be no amendment. You're making a motion to amend the document? No. Yes, you have to make a motion to amend the document. Unless you want to just correct. We can just do a correction if that's what you want. Everybody okay with that? Yes. Then we will make a motion. Okay. Then you already made your motion. Is that okay? That's fine. Okay. Thank you very much, sir. Second to accept and adopt the RC 25-6 separately. Any other discussion? All of them for hazard. Thank you, Your Honor. On item, excuse me, document 25-25. I will support that document or that item, however, part of that is because the horse is somewhat out of the barn on that one. It's been a project that's been in the works for some time, but I guess I just like this council and planning to give a little stronger consideration in the future to more urban renewal type projects, seeing that nearly half the funds are being spent on this new pavilion, our CDBG type funds, which in my estimation have more of the spirit towards urban renewal, things like streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, security camera lighting and so on, things that we can do to improve the more blighted low income areas of the city. The irony here is that we're building something with funds intended for low income, yet it's something that future users of this are going to have to charge or be charged a user fee, this pavilion. So, again, I'd just like to ask the department and the council to give a little stronger consideration of the projects in the future. Okay. Anything else? Okay. It's sent to agenda. Please call the roll. Boren? Hi. Decker? Gisha? Hannah? Heidemann? Kittleson? Clayunas? Meyer? Montemayor? Rindfleisch? Ryan? Zurich? Van Der Wiel? Verhasselt? And Wongamon? 15 ayes. Motion carries. Communications and petitions, 25-26 and 25-27 to be referred. Report of officers 2. You've got a light up. Sorry, what? What's the light up? Oh. Vice President Boren. Thank you, Your Honor. On document number 25-26, I want to make the same referrals on there to public protection and safety and salary and grievance, but I would like to make that to the new council. I spoke with the current chairpersons of those committees and with just the council, you're coming to an end. It's better to send those to the new council. Please make that notation, 26-25 will be referred to those committees as noted of the new council. Olem Mayer? On 25-28, Your Honor, thank you. I would make a motion to accept and adopt the R.O. What's it? No, nothing. Go ahead. Okay. So we had already gone 25-26 and 25-27. Their report of officers 2, you're making a motion to accept and file. And that is 25-28 by the Board of Parks and Forestry Commissioners recommending approval of the agreement between the town of Wilson and the city of Sheboygan for the shared dog park. Is there a second to that? Second. Okay. Under discussion. There is none. Please call the roll. Decker. Gisha. Hanna. Heidemann. Kittleson. Kleyunas. Meyer. Montemayor. Ruinfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderweal. Verhastelt. Wongaman. And Bourne. 15 ayes. Motion carries. 25-29 through 25-39 to be referred. Resolutions introduced 3-2540 by Aldermen Giesha authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a consent to sub-lease to Sheboygan Blue Line Association sub-lease to whatever that name is, wireless LLC, DBA, cell count. I'm not trying it, Aldermen Giesha. Thank you. Let the resolution be put upon its passage. Motion and second. Under discussion. There is none. Please call the roll. Giesha. Hanna. Heidemann. Kittleson. Kleyunas. Meyer. Montemayor. Ruinfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderweal. Verhastelt. Wongaman. Bourne. And Decker. 15 ayes. Motion carries. 25-41. Lies over. 25-42 through 25-46 to be referred. Report of committee 6, 25-47 by public works. Recommend an approving agreement between the town of Wilson and the city of Sheboygan for the shared dog part. All in my honor. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that the RC be accepted and adopted. Motion and second. Under discussion. Under discussion. I just want to say this has been coming for a long time and I want to thank you, Mayor Perez, for all your hard work. The city has been waiting for a dog park and I just think everybody is going to be really pleased with the results and thank you very much for all your hard work. You're welcome. Thank you. Anything else? There is none. Please call the roll. Hanna. Heidemann. Kittleson. Kleyunas. Meyer. Montemayor. Ruinfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderweel. Verhasselt. Wonkeman. Boren. Dekker. Angisha. 15 ayes. Motion carries 2548 to be referred. Report of committee 72549 by law and licensing recommended denying beverage operators license application number 8159 based upon the applicant's failure to include all relevant convictions on the application. The record of violations related to the license activity and failure to cooperate with the committee. Vice President Bourne. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that the report of committee be accepted and adopted. Motion and second. Under discussion. Under discussion, Your Honor. Is Michael Sturm here tonight? He's not here, Your Honor. Thank you. Please proceed. Mr. Sturm had two opportunities to appear before the committee. He chose not to do so and also failed to include all of his convictions on his application. So therefore it was a unanimous decision by the committee to deny his beverage operators license. Thank you, Vice President Bourne. Under discussion. There is none. Please call the roll. Heidemann. Kittleson. Kleyunis. Meyer. Montemayor. Rinfleisch. Ryan. Zurich. Vanderweel. Verhasselt. Wonkeman. Boren. Dekker. Angisha. And Hanna. 15 ayes. Motion carries 2550 by Committee of the Whole. Recommend and filing documents regarding the contract for the 2009 concrete sidewalk program. Vice President Bourne. Thank you, Your Honor. I would like to make a motion to refer this to the finance committee. Second. Motion in second to refer to finance committee. Under discussion. Under discussion. I've been working and Alderman Gish has been working with our finance director, Terry Hansen, to come up with some funds for the sidewalk project. And it appears that Mr. Hansen has found some funds that we can possibly go ahead with this. So rather than filing this coming out of Committee of the Whole, we want to send it to finance for action. Good. Thank you. Oh, Magisha. Thank you. I also wanted to add a thanks to Attorney McLean who brought up some interesting points at the Committee of the Whole regarding the issues regarding liability when it comes to not having a sidewalk program. And I thank him for bringing that back to our attention and spurring us on and working on this. Anything else? There is none. Please call the roll. Kittleson. Aye. Clayunas. To refer to finance. You know what? I'll just take a voice vote. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Aye. None. We move on. Twenty-five. Twenty-five. Twenty-five fifty-one to be referred. Report of Committee Eight. Twenty-five fifty-two by Committee of the Whole. Recommendant. Amendment resolution number 120809, approving the 2009-2013 capital improvements program for the city of Sheboygan and passing the attached substitute resolution. Who wants to take this one? Goldman Gisham. Oh. Gee, thanks. That was your idea. Yeah. Thank you. I move that the RCB accept it and adopt it and put the resolution upon its passage. Motion in second. Under discussion. Thank you, Your Honor. Again, I know we talked about this in committee at great length here a few weeks ago, but I do feel strongly about how we allocate the limited resources that we do have. And I do understand that there have been discussions underway with the county for a number of months, but I just, again, I asked the council to consider the fact that the flooding that some of this money could help mitigate has been underway for years. The flooding that we've been experiencing in some of the neighborhoods around the city has been underway for years. So I'd like to make a motion to strike the language on the CAD EMS software, which in turn leaves the rest of the funding exactly how it's worded for the flood mitigation across the city. Is there a second to that motion? Second. Motion in second. Under discussion on the motion to strike on location on, and then I'll go to you all my clients. Go ahead. Thank you, Your Honor. I understand Alderperson Verhassell's point, but we made a commitment to the county in this. It affects not just this one expenditure, it affects potential savings and shared services expenditures for years and years and years and years to come. But hopefully we don't look at it as just a one expenditure. This is a partnership that we went into with the county with their expectation and our promise to work with them on this, and it was a year later, we now pull it all away. We're the ones who initiated this. It wasn't the county, we did initiate this. And to make that change now would be disastrous, I think, to our relationship with the county at a time when we need that relationship and future opportunities, which are under discussion as we speak, to help us all with our budget crunch. It would be, I believe, an error and a short-sighted error. I do understand the flooding issues. There's no question about it. And there's work underway right now to free up funds to do that. I believe we need to hold the money as it is, and I strongly urge my colleagues to vote no on this amendment. It would be a disaster long-term for the city. Just try to look longer-term than this one vote. Thank you. Thank you. Alderman Clayton. Thank you, Your Honor. I can understand the urgency of this, but the only thing is that software is never considered a capital improvement. It seems like it's misplaced here because it's an operating expense. The other thing about the software, I'm wondering whether Mr. Hansen can find money for that as well. You're a miracle worker, but I do think that there might be funds somewhere else in, I don't know, CBG or whatever it is or something. This is a government software program that is somehow to enhance government services and things, and I think I would like to be for the amendment to hold this, to look for the money more. Not to say that we're not going to keep our promise to the county. I want to keep our promise to the county because I am for this at all, you know, if there's sharing of services. But I just think this is the wrong place to put it, and I also think stormwater can get a couple of this. I think this $250,000, if I'm correct, the software would cost that much. So I know it's not just a couple pennies, it's quite a bit of money, but I would hope somewhere that we would have some fund that we could assign to that or some money from that fund. And we have Alderman Meyer. Thank you, Your Honor. And I believe we've also made commitments to our taxpayers. We have people that their basements flood every time it rains. We have people sitting on their lawns and canoes because it's raining. And I think we should prioritize, and our taxpayers, our citizens, should come first. We've had these programs in place for years. They've been ignored. People are very upset that their stormwater flooding problems are not going to be fixed now after we made commitments to these people. And I think we should be prioritizing where we're spending our money. Thank you. I'd just like to add that I concur with Alderman Meyer and Alderman Verhasselt here. The promise to the county, I envision, we made a promise to these taxpayers who have their homes flooded. Alderman Boren and Alderman Heidemann went with me to talk to them at one time. That was the next project that was coming up. Disasters in the long term, my God, what can be more disasters in the long term and people's basements and yards flooding all the time. I concur with your comments. Alderman Verhasselt, you're next. Thank you, Eric. You know, again, I'm a strong advocate. Anybody who's talked to me about opportunities that may exist between the county and the city, they know that I'm a strong advocate of working together with the city. So it's certainly something that I want to be careful about there. We don't make any long-term damage there. However, again, I'd just love to see a commitment to our constituents here. I've got two meetings left to go before I leave. As Alderman here, and it would just be a sweet surprise. You know, speaking long term, as Alderman Giesha pointed out, long term, if we continue to neglect this, as we have over the last number of years, it contributes to something that I've seen. And it's not all flood-related, but flood issues do contribute, if neglected, to urban decay, lower property values and everything else. So, I mean, it's, again, it's something long term we should consider in that respect as well. Alderman Giesha. Just a correction, I'm a little surprised, Mayor, it was your administration that started this software project. You're the one that- And it also started the flood mitigation. Sorry, I have the floor, sir. You do? And now to suddenly say, basically, a backhand of the county, I have to disagree. Very good. And I do disagree. Anything else? Please call the roll. On the motion to strike. Everybody knows what it is. Motion to strike and I would be to strike that wording. Okay. Clayunas. I. Meyer. I. Montemayor. I. Rinflesch. No. Excuse me? No. Ryan. No. Suric.

In some sport news, Real Madrid defender of Nigerian descent David Alaba is planning to open a football centre in Nigeria after recently donating mobile toilets in the Ogeri Remo community in Ogun State. The chairman Nigerians in the Asperger Commission are BKW Rewas, Tidevis and Saturday while commending the Austrian defender of Nigerian descent for donating days to Ogun community. Alaba was born in Vienna, Austria to a Nigerian father George and Filipino mother Gina. Alaba captained Austria during the UEFA Euro 2020, leading the Europeans to the knockout stages of the competition for the fourth time in their history. He has also been named an eight-time Australian footballer of the year and has three Champions League winners medal amongst his many laurels.


A picture paints a thousand words. That's why photos can help us tell stories about the importance of rice science and connect research and technologies to people's lives. When you combine the power of images with the reach of social networks, the result is even more significant. For example, in 2009, Flickr, the social media site for eerie photos, had an average of about 30,000 views per month for the first eight months. Then, in September 2009, eerie photographers documented the flooding caused by typhoon Ketsana in areas near eerie headquarters in Los Baños in the Philippines, which greatly damaged properties, including rice crops. Eerie uploaded the photos to Flickr where they received around half a million hits over a few days. Sharing these photos on Flickr helped raise awareness about the impact of natural disasters on rice farmers and food production. Telling stories through the sharing of these photos can help illustrate why we need solutions like flood-tolerant rice to help farmers like those affected by typhoon Ketsana. Social networking sites such as Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and others help us raise awareness about the challenges rice farmers face, such as unfavourable environments, climate change and pest and disease outbreaks and, importantly, how eerie is finding solutions to help.


But it is time for Member Statements. I recognize a member from Algoma, Manitou. Thank you, Speaker, getting used to taking off the mask once in a while. I want to give a big thank you to Nancy Johnson from the Northern Family Council Network and along to the member from Ms. Kegawa James Bay for organizing a fabulous informative meeting last night. I can share words that were words as far as how people felt last night, as far as passionate. People cared. There was lots of love, but there was also a lot of frustration, people that were frightened, and a lot of concern that were raised by families that were there. We participated at the Zoom meeting. There were well over 40 participants on the call, ranging from individuals from North Bay to Thunder Bay to Tim and Sudbury across the North Shore, from all over Northern Ontario. Their concerns were for their loved ones that are in long-term care homes. Their concerns in regards to the testing process, the consistencies with protocols, how certain things are being done in certain homes, where they're not being done in others. Overall, it was an eye-opening meeting for myself. It gives me the fire to re-engage and pursue, once again, the Northern Family Coalition Network across my writing, and I would encourage all the DMPPs in this House to do the same so that we can get down to the root cause of what's happening and what is so worrisome for families in long-term care homes. Thank you very much. Further member statement, the member from Milton. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm just going to start by removing my Milton Strong mask with me here this morning. Mr. Speaker, it is always incredible to see community groups helping one another right across the province, and that can't be more true than my writing of Milton. Started as a way to increase the feeling of community and involvement of those that live in Milton. The dads of Milton have grown into a passionate group of over 700 members. Those 700 continue to organize fundraising events around town that support our local community. I had the privilege to attend safely the dads of Milton third annual step-up to the plate event and fundraiser at Lions Park. The enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment that the dads of Milton bring to this event each and every year is something to admire. This year's step up to the plate fundraiser raised over $5,000 for food for kids halting, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank Canadian singer, songwriter, and Milton native, Danny Fernandez for coming to show his support and hang out with dads all day. I also want to thank all of the dads who helped organize and put many hours to make this event a reality each and every year. Special thanks goes out to Mario, Jeffrey, and James for the dedication in leading this effort for the third year in a row. I look forward to being part of the fourth inning of this event next year, Mr. Speaker. And once again, I want to congratulate all of the dads in Milton. Thank you and God bless. Thank you. Member statements, the member for Humber River, Black Creek. Thank you, Speaker. Years ago, the community came together to design the plan for the Jane and Finch Community Hub, a vision that would see community members from all ages and all walks of life enjoy a safe and enriching space, a physical manifestation of a dream in a community accustomed to challenges, barriers, and far too often nightmares. So when this government revealed it would be selling off the land to build the Jane and Finch Community Hub to the highest bidder, the shock and frustration was palpable. The Jane and Finch community mobilized in opposition to this betrayal and were joined by voices across the city and beyond. I thank everyone who stood up to this government, urging them to reaffirm Metrolinx's earlier agreement to give the lands to the city of Toronto to build a future community hub. Under this immense pressure, Metrolinx has now indicated they would reaffirm their earlier commitment to transfer the land. Speaker, I will not breathe a sigh of relief until the lands are transferred and I will keep up the pressure. We are in this mess today because the former Liberal government refused to come to the table and transfer the lands as negotiated between the community and Metrolinx. Promises can be broken and words are often just wind. Our community is done with false hope and we will continue to hold the government to account until the lands are transferred. Do the right thing, transfer the lands. The time is now. Thank you. The next member's statement, the member for Kitchener Conestoga. Well thank you Mr. Speaker and welcome back to the legislature. It's great to see you in the chair after a short August break. Like so many families across the province speaker, the first weeks of September are always busy in my house with our kids returning to school. This week all five headed back to the classroom with my youngest starting junior kindergarten and my oldest going into his first year of high school. This school year will be like unother for my children, their peers, their educators and our support staff. But under the careful guidance of our public health experts including Ontario's chief medical officer Dr. David Williams and Sick Kids Hospital our province has been able to put a plan in place so they can safely return to school. I want to thank our school board officials at the Waterloo Region District and Waterloo Catholic School Boards who did a great job communicating with parents and students about how schools will look once they reopen. And our educators and support staff who work tremendously hard to welcome our students back to school. Returning to school during the middle of a global pandemic is an unprecedented challenge that we are all facing together. We all have a key role to play in keeping our children safe. But with our cautious and comprehensive plan that has been informed by medical experts and the work that has been done with educators and school boards we're ensuring the proper protocols are in place so our children can return to their desks and be with their classmates and friends albeit at a distance. To every student in Waterloo Region and across this province I hope you have a fun and safe return back to school this fall. Thanks Speaker. Thank you very much. The next statement the member for Davenport. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Over the last difficult six months we've had the gaps that exist in everything from healthcare to education to employment laid bare by COVID-19. In Toronto and in urban communities across Ontario the pandemic has also shown us how vital our shared spaces are to our quality of life. Parks and green spaces are seeing more use than ever before. The requirement to keep distance has forced a reshaping of our streets with active transportation finally given the priority it deserves. In Davenport new bike lanes, pedestrian friendly quiet streets and expanded patio space have helped change our neighbourhoods for the better. At the same time the economic damage of the pandemic is visible on our main streets. Small businesses left to fend for themselves by a patchy series of government supports that were too little too late have been shuttered by the thousands throughout Toronto. Without safe and affordable housing people have been forced to live in tents wherever they can find space. And we are losing some iconic landmarks in our cityscape as well as the government continues to put the interests of big developers ahead of our local communities. Black owned businesses in Little Jamaica, LGBTQ spaces on Church Street, the Matador in my own riding, even sneaky dees are all at risk. Tools that did exist to allow cities to enhance public spaces like section 37 and 42 funds were stripped away by this government in Bill 108. Developers are seeing big gains from proximity to schools but our school boards are starved of funds, the largest of them barred from using education development charges. The pandemic has shrunk our worlds reminding us just how important our local neighbourhoods are. For those neighbourhoods to thrive we need affordable housing, walkable, bikeable streets, green spaces to stretch out and diverse main streets where businesses can actually afford to populate. Thank you. The beginning of the school year always brings with it a special energy, a combination of stress, anxiety and excitement and this year even more so. As a parent my wife and I have had many conversations over the summer about the return to school and what it will mean for our family. As an MPP I've heard from many residents about their trepidation, their stress and their concerns. I've heard about the confusion caused by the ever-changing criteria, standards and start dates. But now that school is here I want to thank all of the teachers, early childhood educators, custodians, bus drivers and administrators for the hard work they've put in to try to bring some normalcy back to our children's lives. I want to thank Jennifer Coleman, the principal at Corrine Wilson High School for showing me and trustee Penny the amazing work her team has done to prepare for school. Jennifer had to prepare four different back-to-school plans because the guidance from Toronto continually changed. Her teaching and administrative teams have done an amazing job. I'd also like to thank Jean Gaultier, principal of this Notre Place school, to clear that their commitment towards our children's safety is essential. A difficult time and likely there's more change coming. But your efforts to bring professional, publicly funded education back to our children are very much appreciated and thank you for everything that you do. The member for Hastings, Lennox and Addington. Well thank you Mr. Speaker. This 42nd legislative assembly has been notable for many positive things but I'm proud to say the greatest among them in the year of the pandemic is the way the people of Ontario have responded to our government's actions. For the most part, the 14 million plus of us have acted with the warmth and the care of a small community, looking out for each other, caring for each other and taking action to minimize the risk to others as we face an invisible foe that experts say is at least three times more infectious than the flu that kills too many of us every year. Today though I would like to thank the citizens of Hastings, Lennox and Addington for doing their part and pass on their thanks to the rest of Ontario for doing your part to keep us all as safe as possible. Now as this fall weather settles in we have reached another milestone along our battle route with COVID-19. The evidence so far is that recent cases have come from letting our guard down in large-scale social situations not just from schools or restaurants. So it's no time to take our foot off the gas on the safety protocols that we have found save lives whether washing hands covering our mouths and noses to stop incoming and outgoing infections and social distancing about two meters apart whenever possible. So let's beat this thing by doing more of what we've done already as one of the greatest race drivers of all time said you don't take your foot off the gas until you're over the finish line. Thank you Mr. Speaker. The member for Tomiskaming Cochran. Thank you Speaker. I'm sure we've all opened up Facebook and saw a picture from here's what you were doing last year on this day and today I'd like to do this for the legislature. Last year this week all the legislators joined 80,000 other people and came to the little town of Werner happened to be in my riding for the International Applying Mount. People from all over Ontario from all over Canada now that we're in COVID that sounds like such a foreign experience but it those events are the events to build the fabric of rural Ontario sadly tragically and rightfully so the IPM has been postponed for this year and it's our sincere hope that we will all be back there again next year to celebrate rural Ontario and it's not just the IPM this weekend the second biggest event that happens every year in my riding. Usually the biggest event that the new list could fall fair. The new list could fall fair has gone virtual. Their board of directors have done everything they can to keep the passion alive and I commend them for doing that the fact that they've gone virtual puts salt in some of the wounds in rural Ontario and it's not their fault because virtual for many people in rural Ontario with no broadband is more a slap in the face than it is a solution. Thank you. The next statement I believe the member for Niagara West. Thank you speaker. Niagara is one of the most innovative regions in the province and a great example of that ingenuity has been the response of local entrepreneurs clean works medical and pure life machinery located in Beansville in my riding in Niagara West clean works is an incredible success story about an Ontario apple farmer Paul Moyer taking technology used to decontaminate produce and converting it into a device that can decontaminate personal protective equipment as announced by the premier on his Niagara tour in August clean works and pure life machinery have received two million dollars from the Ontario together fund to help manufacture a one of a kind sanitizing sanitizing device called the clean flow health care mini this Ontario made device can decontaminate hundreds and hundreds of n95 masks per hour along with many other things including personal protective equipment the investment by the Ontario together fund will help enable clean works to scale up their production triple their capacity bring jobs to Niagara and ensure those on the front lines have PPE and other equipment to continue the fight against COVID-19 clean works is a great example of the Ontario together spirit and just another reason why our government is making targeted effective investments to support homegrown trailblazers by investing in clean works our government is not only supporting local economic recovery in Niagara but ensuring that we're ready with necessary Ontario made PPE and equipment today and into the future member statements member for Markham union though thank you speaker it feels great being back to the legislative chamber we are continue to serve and represent the riding of Markham union though Mr Speaker while COVID-19 and the health and safety of Ontarians remained our government's top priority our government continues to work non-stop to serve address and improve the lives of Ontarians every single day in July I was proud to join the minister of municipal affairs and housing Honourable Steve Clark and municipal and federal partners as Canada and Ontario announced the investments of over 4.2 million in the union bill senior affordable housing development to give seniors in Markham union bill and York region the support services they deserve as part of the social infrastructure fund the new building will have 264 units as well as a seniors hub and community space Mr Speaker our seniors helped build our province and our government believes that every Ontarians should be able to find a home that meets their needs and their budgets this announcement is critical for our community and will enhance the quality of life for many people now and well into the future thank you Mr Speaker thank you very much that concludes our member statements this morning


A combination of storms from the early 90s led to severe damage to St. Lucia's rivers. The Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project, or DVRP, under the Department of Forestry spearheaded a long-term solution, a solution referred to as the assessment and rehabilitation of major rivers. The assessment of the rivers actually is part of a wider initiative that the Forestry Department would have developed several years ago with the initiation of the DVRP project. The five rivers are the Fodor, Trumase, Marquis, Kaldesak, and Shock rivers. Donnelly notes these rivers are integral to St. Lucia's. These watersheds have been critical to providing water for St. Lucia, the continuation of fresh water that could be captured or that's been captured by the water company Vasco. Canadian engineering firm CBCL has been contracted to conduct the functions of assessment and rehabilitation. CBCL was the firm that was awarded the contract to undertake the assessment and rehabilitation of major rivers. As the title suggests, there are two significant components. One is to assess the current status of the rivers with respect to the level of degradation of the riverbanks, the current conditions in terms of the hydrology, the amount of the quantity of stream flow, the velocity of stream flow, water quality, vegetation within the riverbank, the land uses within the wider watershed, whether commercial, residential, agricultural land uses, the presence of critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Such data would be used to inform the design of nature-based restoration intervention measures. This will be the first time these measures are used in St. Lucia. Another civil engineer of CBCL, David Parsons, explains bioengineering is a form of these types of interventions aimed at restoring the physical integrity of the rivers. Bioengineering is essentially using plants and vegetation and natural type of sources materials to help stabilize the banks. Instead of using heavy concrete and rebar and typical engineering resources to provide retaining walls, these are more what we consider soft methods that allow the river to kind of grow in their natural means, but it's producing reinforcement that might take longer to occur in its natural habitat. Based on the assessment, CBCL has indicated a variety of recommendations. Basically what we've provided is examples of detailed designs from kind of the, a little bit closer to hard engineering, where it would be a geotechnical, kind of a hybrid geotechnical and a bioengineering design, and then we've provided options right down to kind of fairly easy to employ, but a whole lot simpler and stuff from live stakes, live posts, waddle fences, little bit simpler methods. The process would reduce the need for the silting rivers every year and ultimately reduce the risk of flooding in all vulnerable communities. This is Jacques Kingston Compton of the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project.


I guess so, well there's still more seats up front if anybody wants to grab them, rather than stand in the back or anything. Oh, is this a good mic placement and everything? I just tossed it on myself. Excellent. All right, so my name's Sean O'Toole and I'm gonna be speaking to you about metamorphic viruses. And I wanted to stress that I know this whole conference is educational purposes only, but I'm not stressed that this one is definitely because I don't wanna see anybody's grandmother not be able to access their email or something because I gave a speech.  And so, yeah, my speech on metamorphic viruses, I'm gonna start off with the I, going through some pseudo code on how the various modules work. And then after that, I'll talk about some of the AV approaches to it. And also, on the CD online dimension, I did have some misspellings, but it was a late night presentation that I was putting together after a friend's birthday, so you know what happens. So as we go on, I just wanted to give you a couple of the definitions, one from Peter Zor, who's a well-known antivirus person down to like your virus people. And it goes from body polymorphics where they swear they've always been around in simpler techniques down to the artist's extreme mutation. So we got that going. Now I'm gonna give a brief description of all the various sections, or the main sections that you'll see or are theorized. The first one is the disassembler, which mainly it usually has some way of putting something into a structure, something, a lot of reverse engineering tools and whatnot. And then the second is the deep permutator, which takes the code that's been shuffled and connected by jumps and puts it straight down to the straightest code that the algorithm can put it back together with. And I also, the shrinker, which takes op codes and I recombine, or clusters of op code and recombines them, say like if you have a push ebx, pop ecx, it becomes a move ecx comma ebx type of thing. So these two first, or two and three are mainly the ones that get you back down to the skeleton of your virus that it can be expanded on later with these ones, the expanders, which will do the exactly the reverse of the shrinker. And the permutator, which shuffles the code, links it with jumps and so forth. And also we get down to the reassembler or assembler, which places the virus back together, fixes jumps and so forth. And these six are the main ones that you'll see are here theorized, like a shrinker is very rare, expander, permutator, those are ones that are more used. And here's just one that I wanted to go over really quick is when you're programming these viruses or looking at them, you've got to think in AI, very software engineering type of thinking towards it, because you know, you want to think in modules, everything's separate, we just pass this information to this one, so you don't end up getting into this huge project that never finishes. So we get down to the disassembler, we have two choices. One is I, one thing I haven't really passed across was heavily theorized to make a pseudo language so that you can change, like, say if you want to go from ELF to X86, you can change a few things in there through your pseudo language before you put it back down into the assembly language. And also we have reverse engineering tools, which I, the zombie is the main person that puts those together. The LDE was an earlier version of the ADE, which has a linked list of structures. And the structure is I actually inside with that module when you get it, so you can look at kind of like the manual and it'll tell you basically what you got to deal with after you run it. Oh, and also one of the things about the disassembler is also that it's not always able to reverse engineer all files, it just has some. So it cuts out some of the selection process. And here's one from I, the mental drills article practice on metamorphism that's a little example of how you can put together your pseudo language. One is that you could I, well you have the op code, the instructions tell you, of course, which registers and whatnot. LM, which is label marker, which tells you later if there's a label that points to that that may be jumped to. And this is very important for shrinkers and so forth because if you shrink an instruction and there's a label in between that cluster, then you've just basically screwed up the whole thing that it's jumping to because you've added too much code into one area. Also we have like the idea of how to deal with the op code, you can say that move is the 40. If you're doing memory to register, it's plus two. So move, memory to register would become 42. And there's also a full list of I, the idea of point pseudo op codes like this in the same article. So now we get down to the D permutator because I, the other choice for the assembler can, or disassembler can be found in its manual pages. And the D permutator, as I said earlier, just de-shuffles the code, if you will. And this can be put in its own module or can be included in the disassembly process depending on which way you'd like to go. And here's like the pseudo code at the beginning. You got the variables, like you start out with the entry point of the I, which you're disassembling or de-permutating. You have a path marker, which is your buffer for after you're de-permutating code. A label, which is two D words. One is the I old address of the code and one is the new address of the code, which later on some of these won't have an old address, which I see in this is very important for jump fixing. Later on as well as other things. And the future jump label table, which has labels that you don't wanna deal with yet through the algorithm. And you'll of course zero out the path markers so you don't end up hitting random I op codes that are just somewhere, something that wasn't that buffer so that you think that this could be a portion of what you're de-permutating. And you translate the current I instruction pointer into the ESI. And then I, here's what you do for a jump.  And that's one of the things about this algorithm that makes you know that you cannot have the same I de-permutated that virus every time. You may have a jump from a couple generations back that the algorithm never really took out. And then if you, I have not de-permutated yet, you put it in no op unless it's just in case it's being pointed to you.  And then you have the conditional jumps which I a lot of times are just kept in there and they're put in the future label table and whatnot. You can see everything here. Calls same as conditional jumps. Returns just goes to the future label table so you move one, I branch up the, or one leaf up the code tree and get back to it. And then here's a little note I wanted to make sure that we had on there which is when getting a new EIP from the future label table, we check if the labels stored here are already been de-permutated. If they are, then we insert the corresponding labels at the label table and eliminate the entry and future label tables. If not, we get the new EIP continue. And also I just had like a little note here for if you're making it stand alone and whatnot, you're gonna have to do a lot of more list things if you're doing it stand alone because in two buffers, so that's one of the reasons it's usually in the disassembler it will take up less room. And here's a little example here and we see that the triple X's are the code that is meaningful and the Y codes are the ones that are unreachable. So this is another thing that your de-permutator will help you do. It'll allow you to put in worthless code that will never be reached so that it's just in there, it makes it look different. We see this beforehand. We got the conditional jump. We got some of the other jumps. After it runs, we got this. No more with the Y's, our useless instructions. Once you get a jump, links you straight to it where that code was goes through there until you've hit it all and that's there. And then we get to the shrinker which is extremely rare to find and will reappear in our AV section. And this is basically like I was saying the inverse of the expander and it's most, I haven't run upon it so that's why it's not and I don't have any examples of it anywhere. And so we have the pseudo code for that right here which we can see is basically looking through and seeing if we can find in code clusters and switching them back to their most simple ones which I do it as if there is a list of these conversions but many times it's just a whole function that just does one thing. Then we get to the expander which is the inverse of the shrinker. And basically that's usually a standalone thing and usually also those don't use a list or anything to see what the conversions are. Mainly they're just functions already written out like the Win9x Ramones virus will have some of these so that you can take a reference point to see how they're done. And here's the pseudo code for that. We have is expandable. I forgot to switch it to an actual number rather than a Boolean but basically the expandable question is how many times can we, or how can we expand it? Three op codes, two op codes or just switch op codes and it goes through and it says okay if we got this random number and we got this we're gonna do it. And that's basically that pseudo code and that's just by telling you about how you can make an expandable or is expandable type of thing. It shows zero, there's no way to expand it. Seven you can expand it all three different ways and up and down the line with the various combinations. That's on the same thing. So we get to the eye permutator which you can see in the ghost virus C perm as well as in a lot of other zombie viruses. And here's the pseudo code for that which basically goes through like, well, this one's when it's actually kind of shuffling beforehand, so it just puts the code groups together puts a jump in after that code group. And then we come into this one which goes to the jump and inserts the proper address to jump to the next code group in the sequence. Oh, I also forgot to mention I changed my presentation a little bit so it's different from the one on the CD but yeah, just so if you're following along on a computer just so you don't get lost, I've made a lot of changes. I, in the assembler section, the main thing that you have to worry about rather than the whole converting all the stuff is the main thing is to do jump relocation fixes which so your old jump will go to the proper jump once it's reassembled in the new program. And here I usually initialize a couple tables, one that's eight bytes long, four bytes for where the new instruction pointer is, four bytes for where the old instruction was located and then we have a jump table which basically lists the offsets of our jumps and jumping to the instructions so we can check and they're the older jumps so you can check these old jumps match. Now we should change it to this new one. And basically that's what this for loop does with the if in it, checks to see, goes through if there's still I jumps to be processed, it goes to the jump table and goes through until it hits the end and then I comes down and sees if the old to I jump table address is the same as the new or the old jump table address in the EIP table and then assigns the new one if the old ones match. Other ideas that have come up about this is one of them was that it's been an extremely old idea that's been done a lot even, I can't think of any of the DOS viruses but there have been ones that have done that and it's registered change. One generation, you have EAX doing all these operations for you, next generation you may have EBX doing it which will change if you're doing a signature scan it changes the op code. Then we have I entry point obscuring techniques which have been fairly popular so basically that is when you put a I jump or a call at the host's entrance in the file and then it jumps straight to the virus code, runs it, jumps back and then there was I one that's only, I've been seen in the Z mist virus which is unknown entry point and what that does is it interjects the virus straight into the stream of code which this can be done with your reassembler after disassembling both the host and the previous generation virus. And then we have other modules that you see a lot of them like trash code generation that was big during I love email spreading viruses and worms and whatnot and that one could be added but there's a drawback that will be that your code will keep on growing throughout what always happens with a garbage code generator but also this can be used to change signatures and we'll see why this might become important with a new type of AV technique that they're thinking of making and then we have encryption, I be a polymorphic, be it just regular encryption these things are, you can also include them but you have to be careful how you do it so that say like sometimes a flag will be thrown up because you're using a certain technique to polymorphically encrypt and decrypt your virus but say a properly done one would be Z mist is a great example of that one too which is one of the greater viruses out there and what it does is it acts exactly like a file that will decompress at runtime when it uses its polymorphic engine so here comes the start of our AV section I just wanted to put up this quote from an article about Z mist that says that I metamorphism is something that's gonna be pretty crazy and we need to find out something to do for it and since Z mist and the unexpected entry point have been written by zombie I found an article by zombie that shows what the implications of doing this would be and you have your variables and this is basically saying if you're doing a signature scan you have to run through it until you know you're definitely on the virus you don't know how long that will take so I've been mentioning signature scans so just in case if people don't know I had like a little slide to tell you about signature scans which is basically the oldest technique for virus finding viruses and it's just to check a string of bytes or so forth to see if it matches a signature in a database and if those match then most likely you have a virus and there's many other things say like Z mist is my major example because that's the one that uses the most metamorphic techniques as a date that I've seen and in his he puts a Z in the DOS header and that is his mark for I've infected that file so and you need these marks so you don't constantly infect the same file and that's I but it's still a constant struggle in between will the virus recognize it will the AVs recognize it and one thing is this one's somewhat ambiguous because a Z is allowed in that portion of the header and so that sometimes the virus may not I infect every file it can infecting ones are already unfettered not infected and at the same time the AV will look at it and say we're really not sure this could be a legitimate Z or it could be a Z placed by the virus and next we come on to geometric scanning which I is one of the downfalls of like polymorphism and I but we see within Z mist it was able to beat it by acting like a runtime I've self decrypt or self decompressing file and I so in the basically what geometric scan does is check the size changes in the file so they can say all right this is acting like this is acting like that because the initialized data sections grown this much and then we have the possible answers because we saw that Z mist had beaten the previous ones and one of them is to combine various techniques and use kind of a heuristic idea but this I fails because it takes a lot of time and nobody's gonna run anything if it takes a lot of time and also that there's always like anti-emulation debugging all that type of stuff techniques coming out so that some of these techniques will fail the AV techniques will fail if I they try to use them with these other anti-star whatever you want to call them techniques included and the second which I is a fairly new one and I actually was looking around the internet and I saw that there's somebody that might be talking about this at the Virus Bolton conference and it's to use a shrinker like we were talking one of the parts of the virus the shrinker and the D permutator so that you can have this virus D permutated shrink to its skeleton and that's where the executable trash generator being left in there could help it out because at its skeleton you'll still have op codes that weren't there a generation beforehand and so yeah and we see the flaws in the answers they take too long you're not able to do some techniques if they include various ways of programming and I but the shrinker is the closest one we have so that's what they have to go with and I just want to include a section that's why this might be stronger for I compared to other techniques and trash generation of course you just have worthless code and the virus grows loads and loads every time it passes a generation so after a while a file will get big enough and they'll know that something's happened and also in polymorphism I the body usually you can always take like a static picture of the body or at least portions of the body at times throughout the running of the virus you can know that though it's decrypted now or if it's encrypted now it always has to decrypt itself so you have the same code once it's decrypted I'm sorry I'm kind of new to the speaking to large crowds so I might have flew through that too fast but I just wanted to open the floor to question and answer or anything like that, yes Would most of these viruses be small enough like another program apart? I've, are we talking about the with the polymorphism? I, it's possible that this could happen but I haven't really checked too much into polymorphism to tell you the truth I just looked at a few techniques and saw what they did and but I haven't really caught any like I software stuff for doing the decryption methods for like brute forcing and detection I'm sorry, yes The standard part which is not with the same Can it be used to detect that is your virus, your virus? Which section are we talking about? I mean the part that files the process of decrypting the virus during the patient that's the kind of function of your virus I, it's, hmm I, I'm sorry, I can't really hear you too well up here so I kind of miss pieces and I think they're important like It's common to, it's not encrypted it's not polymorphism, which is the start of the virus Is that the signatory that can be easily recognized from the virus software to the other one, start? I will, I'm going to With the eyes, with the eyes, we have to be eyes It's on Yeah Well this question was I if I recognize it correctly is there a static part in metamorphic viruses that can always be recognized and the thing is, since I it can always be randomly expanded or I permutated it, you could step through it but of course you'll still have different op codes because of the expander or register exchange type of thing so that's one, that's where the strength in is I, with this, is that you can change like op codes and that's where mainly signatures they are strings of op codes I'd recognize changes I, I haven't looked too much into that but that sounds like an interesting idea that could be tried because mainly what I've heard is the shrinker idea which will give you the code skeleton This is how it shows how ridiculous viruses have gotten say like if you have, I not even all of the major six I was talking about but maybe say four of them I say like this emis virus I remember that being I I want to say around 70, 80 pages or so and some of it's also done in C so you know that makes it even bigger so it's, I'm sorry Oh no, no, good I, well the thing is, is I with this virus basically rewrote something or with these viruses the expander is basically an unoptimizer which is really funny because like you know I back not too long ago everything had to be optimized for a virus nowadays we're writing things to unoptimize them afterwards so it shows that you really don't need optimization because we have so much room to deal with I, the techniques, it's no specific technique basically just looks through and I well most of them just look through compare op codes because most of them are functions now and they'll say like, is this the op code? If yes, change it to this Yeah well, yeah the compression is basically like say for an easy example, I push ebx, pop ecx becomes I move ecx comma ebx basically that's it Yes sir Aye, yes sir There's 10 There's 10? There's 10 Yeah, I haven't opened up the CD so I Wow Are there any other, yes sir I'm sorry sir, can you stand up? I was, what was behavior blockers? I don't Yeah well I, the thing with I I, behavior scanners is they, if the behavior is found of course anything once you see what it will do you'll know what's happening but a lot of times I that's, that takes a lot of time and then say like for emulation sometimes there's ways that people have found a block emulation so you'd be more of like AI integrity scanner than an integrity scanner basically you're already infected and that's why it knows you're I being, have been infected I emulation I I don't have my notes on it right now but there's there's a few ways to I if I remember correctly it's I it's placement of like variables I below the call so they I and it's like one of the hard coded ones like so if you do I I think it's like I'm usually if you put the address you want to put in for your I call or jump and I think it's if you put in the instruction to do like dollar minus four so it's throws it back up in the instruction if I remember correctly that was one of them but I don't know if it's it's been a while since I write up too much on that a good reference I let's see a good references I I basically say just reading through code is like the best reference so sometimes they'll usually you can find some this comment where they say this is this technique being done type of thing so that'd be the best start I'd say in best reference I currently I know some places where you can get like I viruses that have the I comments in them and so forth use anti-emulation I don't know there's they're still fairly new and well usually you can go to the same websites I access some of my data off of for I metamorphism and they'll talk about that as well so say like see I zombies website if you go to his which is I is easy your own and the idea dot host dot sk and you would go to some of his links you'll probably find some on his page and some on some of his link pages that you can I look at I anymore questions it thank you for coming out also I'd like to thank my school because I they helped they're going to most likely help me pay for some of the trip over here so I wanted to thank for you this university thank you
