... if the Brain virus is active in memory and an application requests the operating system to read from disk the contents of sector 0 (the hiding place of Brain), the virus will return the contents of what the legitimate sector 0 would contain, instead of the actual contents. Brain achieves this by modifying ("hooking itself into") the interrupt table.

[...] si le virus Brain est actif en mémoire et qu'une application demande au système d'exploitation de lire sur disque le contenu du secteur 0 (cachette du virus Brain), le virus communique le contenu de ce que le secteur normal 0 devrait contenir au lieu du contenu réel. Brain parvient à cette opération en modifiant la table des interruptions.
