Author Information / Description
Mantis v0.2 Readme

Okay this is a rather large release from the last one - i have had a lot of time lately
so I have been able to do a lot of programming on mantis

Okay if you need help with mantis go and have a look at the help sections on the site
 - that should be enough help
Okay msvbvm60 is needed for the server to run correctly so bind it with the server
when you send. The winsock control is also needed, but the chances of them not having 
that are quite slim but just include it in case. For the client to work properly with the
system tray you need to copy the included system tray control to your windows directory.

Mantis doesn't listen to a port unless the computer is online, if you would like to
test it on yourself use the command parameter "local" when you run the server. 
This will give you full access offline.

This archive is an almost-complete reconstruction of the legendary Mega Security (also known as Kobayashi), a premier 90s-era "Trojan Database" where malware authors once showcased their work. After a decade offline, the site was brought back in August 2024 by its original creator, MasterRat, who authorized the Malware Gallery to host this modernized, searchable version of the collection. While the original site remains available for those seeking a nostalgic, old-school experience, we are proud to continue its legacy here. Full credit and thanks go to MasterRat and the retired Mega Security staff for their years of dedicated work in cataloging these historical samples.
