Life can be though,
Especially when you're a linux user, in a school sponsered by Microsoft... It generates hate, massive ammounts of hate.
One day that had to come to an outburst, that day has come...
After a wickedly hard final on Windows 2003 Active Directory i came home and saw the test-rig i had installed windows2003 on... I felt a rush go through my head... This windows had to DIE, and painfully...
So I opened up IE and disabled ALL security blockings, allowed active X to run whatever it wanted, and then started surfing some sites that are reknown for the greater good of the internet... www.porno.com and more off the like, this surfing started to jank at the resources of my victim... Then I went on, first installing the messenger 7 beta, then about 5 toolbars for IE, now this was great for getting the juice going, process requirements went through the roof!
Then came the first 'fatality'-hit! I installed Kazaa! the full edition ! It was struck down! And struck down hard! As soon as kazaa was installed, all IE-windows-froze for about 5 minutes...
I was just about to give up on my victim when suddenly a burst of action took hold of my HD! On and On and On it went! Trying to make its suffering a little longer... So I gave it the equivalent of a salten towell for a bloody wound... I installed MS antispy... Warnings were raised all over!!! jeeeeeeeeeeeej Suffer!
Then came another blow! out of the blue I ordered a reboot! Took the victim 30 minutes (!) to shut down and another 10 to boot up again... When it came up, it still took 12 minutes for the 'administer your server'-wizard came up again, allthough allready 4 pop-ups had appeared on the screen begging me to start gambling... I allready noticed a fancy icon on my desktop saying 'start gambling now'... So I clicked it :) Down it all went! system resources went berzerk again...
K time for another site! www.warez.com would be it! IE went open (and closed within 2 seconds for 6 times) and theree were the 5 toolbars once again... warez.com offered us a p2p-program, so to support kazaa, we installed "warez"... all looked wel as our victim was crumbling under our repeated lashes... More pain was needed... Let's go searching for bonzi buddy! In ALL toolbars at the same time :) Pop-ups were bestowed upon us! Finally we came to the download-section, we started the download, suddenly it asked us to trust all software made by the makers of bonzi buddy, off course we agreed, cause a company that created a monkey, so cute couldn't possibly want bad things for our PC???? An error occured during the install of bonzy buddy, suddenly the Antispyware agent went off!
We allowed everything to be installed...While bonzi buddy was installing we got bored... so we decided to go after the mother of all spyware... GATOR... just arriving on gator.com-download-page is apparently enough to get it installed, now isn't that handy? no suddenly a pop-up warned us that spyware might be on our system! TRUELY? NOW YOU WOUDN'T SAY! OW now isn't that great?? gain will automatically keep track of my VISA-CARD information AND my adress! it will even fill out the forms on the websites I visit so I don't need to type the whole time...
Then it asked for mercy! Bonzybuddy needed to reboot the system! lets be nice... but not really, it would get its reboot, but just not really nice! Hard reboot it was, out went the powercord!
We watched invigorated as the windows-system tried to boot... As the system booted (generating massive amounts of network-traffic) it became apparent there was a utility on the desktop called 'Speed up my computer', it sounded great since the damn thing was really slooooooooooow... so upgrade it... but before we could click it, it all froze... a few minutes later, again a burst of activity, again system resources went to hell... popups flew around, msn killed the rest of the resources and then it all went dead once more... This time it didn't take as long to recover for my victim, so my next blows would have to be decisive... i still wanted to do the speed up my computer thing so i first tried that... Ah damn you have to pay for it...
Then i got an idea, i decided to search google for 'worst malware ever', the first non-virus that popped up was ezula... fun thing is, they MAKE spyware, and sell Anti-spyware :-) btw they call their product Contextual Advertising Solutions...
Then I decided I wanted to make this a rewarding experience, so i started monitoring the traffic genrated by this machine... Allthough we weren't surfing, it just kept on making www-connections... I've added a couple of the results from my scanning and logging...
Then all IE's disappeared for the 5th time in a row... for some reason we can't have 1 IE window open, it allways spawns more of its companions, taking up all resources it can find... This machine has been effectively totally immobilised, IE freaks out like hell, all resources are constantly under maximum stress... We've destroyed a windows-server-installation in under 4 hours by just using it like at least half of the people on this world use it...
I suggest everyone who ever gets frustrated to do this, it feels rewarding and if you monitor its output on the network, you learn a lot, and getting the spyware sometimes makes you understand how they trick 'regular people' to get it...
But please don't do it with virusses, it isn't as rewarding and really just too easy...
NOTES:
******
- all used spyware / software was just gotten from the internet, straight from the sites where they are officially hosted...
- The windows 2003-version is a legal trial version, i got at school with my MOC about windows 2003, it was fully updated with the latest patches from windows 2003
- The OS is almost totally unusable, resources are hogged to the max, no applications run smooth and even simple stuff (taking a screenshot) is almost undoable...
- Please note that to please the PC, i immediately installed Lnx on it again to make it happy, now its happyly running and being stable...
