/mwd/ Malware Discussion General

ITT We discuss everything to do with malware:

>experiences
>prevention
>general tips
>best / worst set ups you've seen or heard about
>other interesting / funny related shit


Also regarding safety from malware, what are your preferences (and why) in:

>computer / smartphone OS
>browser
>anti virus software
>computer settings / layout
>anything else that prevents viruses / protects personal info


I'm also interested to hear from people who've made / spread their own malware.

>motivations behind making viruses? (money, lols, respect, other?)

>easier / harder than expected getting onto other people's systems

>what do you do once your virus has gotten onto some systems undetected?


Anyway doesn't really matter as long as its malware related

Interesting....

>prevention

Use Linux

I have a copy of a file called "skullfuck.exe" sitting on the server.

You know.

Just in case I snap.

OP here

shit didn't realize jpegs could have malware

yeah couldn't think of another board that would be more appropriate
apart from /adv/ but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't know much about this topic

I've never tried out linux but in an ideal scenario I'd be able to use windows
will give it a try some day

skullfuck.exe?
we'd love to know what that does

and by server do you mean at your uni/college/work or what?

I wrote a application that sits quiet waiting for user defined websites or applications to load on the pc then hooks and scrapes keyboard input untill they leave the page. Ontop of that it grabs the browsers saved history database, uploads it to my server and then attempts to crack it. Saves itself to the start up directory and another random location and creates a registry entry.

The database dump however is in clear text so points straight to my home IP, haven't gotten around to cleaning that up. It was a fun project never the less.

All these idiots on yt seem to use hitmanpro +malwarebytes to look for signatures

>>Best: ESET NOD32, Comodo Firewall
not

Work.

The name is a reference to this comic.

I don't actually know what it does.

I have been meaning to run it on a virtual machine of our standard image and see the carnage.

Might have time today...

OP, This is a consumer recommendations and video games board. Very few here are going to know about malware beyond installing AVG and Malwarebytes.

we talk about programming like every second thursday of the decade

There are few people on Sup Forums that work in re, there are lurking from time to time.

There was few attempts to create daily RE thread, but there is not enough people interested in this area to keep the thread live.

If you are looking for some re groups its probably good idea to search near CTF community.

Fried's pc is affected by the yrlc.exe, how do we get rid of it?

bump

Hi guys.

So, I am using GNU/Linux but the thing is I require an anti malware program for repairing Windows computers.

I have clamAV, but is it good enough for scanning Windows malware? I don't get viruses so I couldn't be certain.

Lol you just described a bull shit Zeus clone that probably doesn't exist. Also browser data isn't actually encrypted further than with the users account data..so there would be no need to try and crack it if you've already installed malware on their machine, retard.

>embedding encrypted malware in a JPEG file so it requires a specific image viewer with a built-in decryption tool to run
That sounds stupid. Why would you do that?

It was fun when Sup Forums didn't required a captcha and people

Well then, which ones are?
