{{Short description|Fake computer virus envisioned as an April Fools' Day joke in 1991}}
 
'''AF/91''' adalah [[tipuan virus]] seputar [[virus komputer]] yang konon dibuat oleh [[Komunitas Intelijen Amerika Serikat]] sebagai [[senjata siber]] selama [[Perang Teluk]]. Tipuan ini bermula dari sebuah artikel ''[[InfoWorld]]'' tahun 1991 yang diterbitkan sebagai lelucon [[April Mop]]; pada kenyataannya, virus semacam itu tidak pernah ada, dan [[militer AS]] tidak diketahui pernah menggunakan strategi serupa dalam Perang Teluk. Meskipun tanggal penerbitannya dan artikel tersebut menjelaskan bahwa itu untuk April Mop, cerita tersebut menarik perhatian media yang signifikan, dengan beberapa sumber keliru menggambarkan AF/91 sebagai nyata hingga awal tahun 2000-an.

==Deskripsi==
'''AF/91''' was a [[virus hoax]] surrounding a [[computer virus]] purportedly created by the [[United States Intelligence Community]] as a [[cyberweapon]] during the [[Gulf War]]. The hoax originated in a 1991 ''[[InfoWorld]]'' article published as an [[April Fools' Day]] joke; in reality, no such virus ever existed, and the [[U.S. military]] is not known to have used a strategy similar to this in the Gulf War. Despite its publication date and the article clarifying it was for April Fools' Day, the story drew significant media attention, with several sources erroneously describing AF/91 as real well into the early 2000s.

AF/91 digambarkan sebagai "meta-virus" yang dirancang sebagai "[[Kode mesin|bahasa mesin]] [[palindrome]]" dan digunakan untuk menonaktifkan sistem [[Komputasi waktu nyata|komputer waktu nyata]] dengan "menyerang perangkat lunak dalam [[Bahasa deskripsi halaman|pencetak]] dan [[Pengontrol tampilan video|pengontrol tampilan]]". AF/91 diklaim mampu memakan [[Window (komputasi)|jendela]], tampaknya secara harfiah "melahapnya di bagian tepi", yang pada akhirnya membebani [[periferal]] dengan [[badai siaran]] dan membekukan komputer secara permanen. [[Chip komputer]] [[Intel]] dan [[Motorola]] diketahui sangat rentan terhadap virus, seperti halnya komputer yang menjalankan [[Sistem operasi]] [[Microsoft Windows]], yaitu [[Windows 3.0]] yang baru saat itu (seperti yang disebutkan dalam judul artikel). AF/91 menggunakan [[jaringan saraf]] yang belajar pada setiap [[siklus mesin]] namun memerlukan waktu yang lama agar dapat bekerja sebagaimana mestinya, bahkan setelah waktu aktivasinya dikurangi hingga 75%, dan dilaporkan memerlukan waktu beberapa minggu untuk menyiapkan, mempelajari, dan mengaktifkan pada sistem yang beroperasi 24 jam setiap hari.<ref name=":0" />
==Description==
▲AF/91 originated from the article "Meta-Virus Set to Unleash Plague on Windows 3.0 Users" written by ''Tech Street Journal'' editor John Gantz, published on April 1, 1991 in ''InfoWorld'' magazine volume 13, issue 13.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |last=Gantz |first=John |date=April 1, 1991 |title=Meta-Virus Set to Unleash Plague on Windows 3.0 Users |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0FAEAAAAMBAJ&q=Virus+AF+91&pg=PA39 |accessdate=November 13, 2015 |website=[[InfoWorld]]}}</ref> Gantz claimed in the article that he had first heard of AF/91 in a conversation he overheard at the 1991 Federal Office Systems Expo (FOSE), a [[U.S. federal government]] [[office supplies]] convention. Most other details relating to AF/91 came from an unnamed friend, who Gantz claimed was employed as a [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]] automated data processing specialist.<ref name=":0" />
 
Menurut artikel tersebut, [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) mengembangkan AF/91 untuk mengalahkan [[sistem pertahanan udara]] Irak selama Perang Teluk sebagai bagian dari operasi [[Penindasan Pertahanan Udara Musuh]] militer AS. Menjelang Operasi Badai Gurun, AF/91 dipasang pada perangkat lunak [[Trojan horse (komputasi)|Trojan horse]] untuk sebuah [[Printer (komputasi)|printer]] dan diselundupkan ke [[Irak]] melalui [[Yordania]] oleh [[Central Intelligence Agency]]. Setelah menginfeksi situs pertahanan udara Irak, AF/91 tetap tidak aktif di sistem komputer Irak hingga tahap awal [[kampanye udara Perang Teluk]]—yang seharusnya ditunda supaya AF/91 dapat diselundupkan ke Irak dan mulai bekerja—saat itulah ia diaktifkan, melumpuhkan pertahanan udara Irak dan membuat setengah dari komputer dan printer mereka tidak dapat digunakan.<ref name=":0" />
AF/91 was described as a "meta-virus" designed as a "[[Machine code|machine-language]] [[palindrome]]" and used to disable [[Real-time computing|real-time computer]] systems by "attacking the software in [[Page description language|printer]] and [[Video display controller|display controllers]]". AF/91 was claimed to be able to eat [[Window (computing)|windows]], apparently literally "gobbling them at the edges", ultimately overloading the [[peripheral]]s with a [[broadcast storm]] and permanently freezing the computer. [[Intel]] and [[Motorola]] [[computer chip]]s were noted to be especially vulnerable to the virus, as were computers running [[Microsoft Windows]] [[operating system]]s, namely the then-new [[Windows 3.0]] (as mentioned in the article's title). AF/91 used a [[neural network]] that learned with each [[machine cycle]] but required lengthy periods of time to work as intended, even after its activation time was reduced by 75%, reportedly taking several weeks to set up, learn, and activate on systems operating 24 hours every day.<ref name=":0" />
 
Namun, AF/91 secara tidak sengaja berhasil keluar dari Irak setelah pilot [[Angkatan Udara Irak]] yang membelot ke [[Iran]] membawa beberapa printer yang terinfeksi; printer-printer ini kemudian digunakan oleh [[Kementerian Informasi dan Teknologi Komunikasi Iran]], yang memungkinkan virus menyebar dengan cepat. Saat itu, virus tersebut telah "bermutasi", mampu melekatkan dirinya secara permanen ke dalam [[perangkat tampilan]] komputer dan memengaruhi perangkat lunak pengiriman pesannya. Militer AS, yang sebagian besar berkomitmen untuk menggunakan Windows untuk program komputer mereka, menjadi semakin khawatir tentang kemungkinan AF/91 menjangkau mereka, oleh karena itu hal itu disebutkan di FOSE. Meskipun NSA dikatakan telah menganggap komputer apa pun dengan teknologi windowing akan "hancur", komputer yang terinfeksi AF/91 dapat bertahan hingga empat tahun jika digunakan sangat jarang karena jaringan saraf virus tersebut memerlukan penggunaan terus-menerus untuk belajar, yang mungkin cukup lama bagi NSA untuk mengembangkan [[perangkat lunak antivirus]] khusus untuk melawan AF/91.<ref name=":0" />
According to the article, the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) developed AF/91 to defeat Iraqi [[air defense system]]s during the Gulf War as part of the U.S. military's [[Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses]] operations. In the lead-up to Operation Desert Storm, AF/91 was installed on [[Trojan horse (computing)|Trojan horse]] software for a [[Printer (computing)|printer]] and smuggled into [[Iraq]] through [[Jordan]] by the [[Central Intelligence Agency]]. After infecting an Iraqi air defense site, AF/91 remained dormant in Iraqi computer systems until the opening stages of the [[Gulf War air campaign]]—which was supposedly delayed just so AF/91 could be smuggled into Iraq and start working—at which point it was activated, disabling Iraqi air defenses and rendering half of their computers and printers unserviceable.<ref name=":0" />
 
Di akhir artikelnya, Gantz mengungkapkan rahasia di balik arti “AF/91”: “91 adalah [[Tanggal Julian]] untuk April Mop.”<ref name=":0" />
However, AF/91 unintentionally made its way out of Iraq after [[Iraqi Air Force]] pilots deserting to [[Iran]] brought several infected printers with them; these were then used by the [[Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Iran]], allowing the virus to spread rapidly. By then, the virus had "mutated", capable of permanently embedding itself into a computer's [[display device]] and affecting its messaging software. The U.S. military, which had mostly committed to using Windows for their computer programs, became increasingly concerned about AF/91 potentially reaching them, hence why it was mentioned at FOSE. Though the NSA was said to have considered any computer with windowing technology to be "doomed", computers infected by AF/91 could last up to four years if used very infrequently due to the virus' neural network requiring continuous use to learn, potentially long enough for the NSA to develop dedicated [[antivirus software]] to counter AF/91.<ref name=":0" />
 
=== Tambahan lebih lanjut ===
At the end of the article, Gantz revealed the secret of what "AF/91" meant: "91 is the [[Julian Date]] for April Fool's Day."<ref name=":0" />
Seiring berjalannya waktu, beberapa tambahan [[yang tidak dapat dibuktikan kebenarannya]] dibuat pada cerita AF/91 yang tidak ada dalam artikel asli Gantz, termasuk:

Over time, several [[apocryphal]] additions were made to the story of AF/91 that were not present in Gantz's original article, including that:
