Turing Virus

or you can, you know, use del from the command prompt.

[Turing_Gamer]

wow... Why the would you make a program like that.
It just dosn't make sense (btw, previous explanations were confusing).

[Srlancelot39]

in response to the program deleting itself...


lol...300 lines is the least of my worries nowadays...my prize possesion "Grail Quest" is just over 3000....and im glad that i too am a "ctrl+s nazi"....actually....my routine every 10 seconds is F2,ctrl+s,F1......this way i indent it, save it, and run it to check for errors =P.....sometimes i'll press f2 or ctrl+s without even changing the code lol...its a subconcious action....[/quote]

[BigBear]

Surprised you can even indent with that many lines

[Insectoid]

Ah, this thread just refuses to die. Perhaps it's magical.

[mirhagk]

btw SrLanceALot, you shouldn't have 3000 lines in one program, seperate it into seperate files and include them. (you could import them instead, and it's probably better, but it's much simpler to just include I think).

As for this Turing "virus", well it's nothing that I'm sure anyone who's been with Turing for a year or so hasn't done am I right?

Right now I'm learning assembly, that's where the real viruses come into play, btw doesn't anyone know what has to be added to a binary file in order to make it a .exe? I'm going to create a virus that does nothing at all, except start creating other viruses I manufacture. I'm going to make it contact a server for updates, which it will install on the host's system. It will not auto-transfer, and it will have a built in sytem where it deletes itself and e every virus it added if you enter the correct password.

Basically if someone pisses you off, you can drop this onto their system and voila, they're at your mercy. (you could probably even extort them for the password)

I don't condone your black-hat nonsense, as that's completely counter to the ethics of professional programming. Plus, if you start actually becoming a threat to computer users, you can be convicted of all sorts of fun crimes.

Also, spending five seconds to Google what you're after works wonders. It's the first result!

lol...sometimes if there are too many programs running it will refuse to indent lol

i know i shouldn't have 3000 lines in one program....but I don't tend to use advanced methods like this...i have like 4 years experience with Turing, but i've always liked sticking to what i know generally, and making something massive out of it. that was actually my chosen method for Grail Quest.....it was a grade 12 project, and we had to decide whether we were going to be making something basic while trying new things or make something more complex out of what we knew....i chose the second because i knew i would be most successful that way.
anyhow, i wont need to change the turing file anymore because it will be recoded in C# with much help from cavetroll seeing as he knows C# already and i do not...yet .

P.S.....no i've never made a virus...at all....ever....in my 4 yea- you get the point.

[mirhagk]

@DemonWasp Lol I would not spend so much time on creating a virus and I certainly would not confess to it before I made it. I won't spend enough time in Assembly in order to get that skilled. I'm only learning in to create a compiler.

[DemonWasp]

Your last and second-to-last sentences are very difficult to reconcile (how does one create a compiler without being skilled in their assembly language / platform of choice?). Besides, viruses can be written in C or pretty well any other language (though compiled ones have an advantage); the real trick is finding a vulnerability to propagate through.

[Kharybdis]

it takes like 3 lines to make a virus...

[mirhagk]

not in assembly. I bet there's a c++ library though that allows you to do

code:

MakeVirus("Trojan");

and @demonwasp. Making a virus might be easy to do, but not the one I was describing. I'm going to learn it pretty much through and through, but I only need to know how to do something once in order to make a compiler. I will not need to learn how to exploit the system and it's .dll files and such, like any good virus does.

[Insectoid]

You certainly have a very high opinion of yourself, my good sir.

[Euphoracle]

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
