Fourty days later, Anon finds that his entire computer file system has been replaced with pics of Morgan Freeman
Why arenāt there viruses like this? Everyone wants to hurt your computer. Do something dumb like that.
Or a screamer virus. That could bring the world to its knees.
My idea was a worm that just torrents random shit and dumps it on your desktop like a cat bringing you a dead bat with āI broughted you a pwesent wā energy.
May i point you to a thing iāve once made:
Thatād be hilarious lmao. Just a āwindows is updatingā progress bar while in the background it installs Mint, complete with transferring users/passwords, then ārebootingā¦ā BAM Mint.
Idk how possible thatād be but a man can dream.
I wrote a āvirusā in college, which basically:
- took a screenshot of the entire desktop
- displayed screenshot full-screen on top of other windows
- would only go away if you typed ā@sugar_in_your_tea pwned meā or something
Oh, and it started on startup, so rebooting wouldnāt fix it. :)
I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said āsystem out of memoryā. Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as āNvidia game scanner service.exeā in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one
Does Morgan Freeman run on Wine?
Either brave or stupid plugging in a random flash drive they found on the street.
Average person? Probably not many. But itās also not some expensive, rare, hard to have thing. I have several raspberry piās that could easily serve the purpose by just not connecting a new image to a network.
And their identity everywhere compromised.
Why did the folder have a file extension
Itās an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.
Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:
payday
groceries.exe
steak on sale
dinner.exe
Itās being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the āItās dangerous to go aloneā¦ā meme.
But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.
Iād like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it canāt be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.
