Turing Virus

lolz. Anyways, I was searching through my folder of "evil" software I made a while ago. It made me laugh at what I thought was evil a year ago. There's one that autoruns on a usb and prompts you for a password, if you do not answer within 20 seconds, or get it wrong 3 times, it shuts down the computer. It was actually useful cuz noone could steal my usb. (it was also useful for running up to people's computers in the library and plugging it into the usb slot to watch them freak out trying to figure out what to do). The autorun file is unforunately gone but I might recreate it.

why would holding down the shift key do anything?

because shift prevents windows autorun. also anyone running an operating system > 2004 will be prompted as to whether they want to run an executable autorun. anyone who is not running an operating system > 2004 and is using windows needs to get up to speed

Same. its such an easy combination to type, why wouldn't you every 5 seconds? I had a teacher that would randomly turn off all the computers in the middle of class with the master switch after he did a lecture about saving often. You be working then, bam, computer goes off and he'd stand there smiling and say "i hope you saved", then click the switch and turn them back on. Good times Smile

Edit: Whoops, didn't see there was 4 pages lol, this is in response to the ctrl-s nazi comments :$

lol I actualled got so used to pressing F2, Ctrl+S and F1 that when I switched to C++ I kept doing it which opened help and some wierd thing about symbols and stuff.

ugh stop this sillyness none of you apparently know what a virus is, or the difference between them and malicious authorized user-executed (shitty) code. what's the obsession with being malicious? don't you have better things to do with your time than make someone else miserable? seriously

Making someone miserable is a human's second nature. Twisted Evil

BTW, Im also a CTRL+S Nazi.

Can someone tell me how to make the autorun USB program that was mentioned earlier?

And no, this thread cannot die because of the magic word "virus". Razz

No really, how can I make a program that will ask for password or will shutdown?
I no autorun can be created with autorun.ini

what shuts down? the program or the computer. if its the latter, dont bother thats rude. if its the program... well im pretty sure you should be able to answer that. launch your program, programs prompts for password, and if its wrong....

I would of thought this thread would have been dead a while back - something like 2 years ago...

I don't follow the logic in this.

You put in the media (cd, dvd, usb key, what ever), assuming they don't hold down the shift key and are running windows with autorun turned on it asks for a password. If they get it wrong the computer shuts down, is rebooted and autorun is not ran so they are free to access the data on the media.

Or they put in the media, don't enter a password and just leave the program waiting for input, well they access the data.

Or they just kill the truing process in the taskmanger.

Or they just access the data from a non windows based computer.

You would be much better off making a program that encrypts and decrypts the data you are trying to protect given a key.
