Hey guys,
I made a sort of virus in applescript that deletes a certain file and a beep one, both pretty simple, but how do you make a proper one, like in C or what??? I know terminal scripts are kinda obvious as unix can do anything, but how would a make a virus that would, when clicked delete destop files? -------------------- Thanks again,

Well, learn the language of your choice and you'll figure out by yourself when you are knowledged enough..
there is no explicit answer to: "How do i make a proper virus", it depends what it should do etc. . 2nd: A virus dublicates/copies itself. The two scripts you spoke about above sound to me like usual malware. Or would you call a unix script that deletes some stuff and beeps(for example: rm -rf /someFolder;printf '\a\a' ) a virus? ;-) Definiton of 'Computer Virus' Definition of 'Malware' -------------------- |-------------------------|

Uhhh...yeah, Nilkimas is right.
Look, a virus is a program that attaches itself to other programs(called hosts), and keeps replicating, attaching itself to even more hosts. It's just like a real virus(like HIV or something), but designed for programs on a computer. So you'd need a way to read and write files, and the skill to open yourself up, and copy yourself to another program. What you mentioned....aren't viruses. People have such a skewed view of viruses. :( --Macpunk -------------------- |

No, you do it very roughly and spontaneously. There is no planning or need to be careful.

you learn to program, you inherit ideas from your community, and by the time you have the skills to make one, you also have the respect not to.
