phoenix: COULD BE DONE ON AMIGA!

Slummy: DO IT! :)

I've designed an icon that can be used to warn people about prods that are known to contain harmful code. Well, ok, I nicked the frame from 'musicdisc'...

so.. instead of actually removing the prod, you'd let people run demos containing "FORMAT C: /AUTOTEST" and alike..? nice. :)

Yes ofcourse, as long as it's done in a friendly scene spirit. And if you know you're running malware, you can't complain right? :)

But my idea hasn't been implemented yet so we still have to go with our eyes closed through the minefield of prods :/

Follow up, Photobucket have decided to fuck up their service so here is the icon again for archival purposes. I'm mighty proud of this one :)

The demoscene needs a "publisher" layer, with extended validation code signing certificates and shit.

that made me wonder, is it somehow feasible to run false-flagged malicious 4k/64k .exe files from some wrapper application? e.g. you make some 4k/64k launcher that scans .zip files, lists their .exes and when you run one it sandboxes the process so that mister Kaspersky or mister Windows Defender won't beep?

I'm sure any wrapper application that runs arbitrary unchecked code will be PERFECTLY FINE with twitchy malware scanners.

ah right, i got all over-romantic with the idea and thinking that that application would be safe :D

Why not throw those scanners out? Kaspersky is just a Putin frontend anyway. WD might be harder though, I'm no Window$ expert.

I appreciate seeing a grown man write "Window$" in 2020.

Can't remember WD being especially hard to throw away when i did so year(s) ago, when it got into endless loop analyzing itself and jamming my PC.

skrebbel: I'm sometimes mentally stuck in the past :)

Windows Defender actually seems to handle false positive reports decently, at least when reported by the author of the software in question. Crinkler 2.3 was flagged as a trojan, but it was de-flagged about one hour after I reported it as a false positive.

And on the topic: Grey Screen With No Escape intentionally locks up the machine so hard you have to power-cycle. It gives fair warning though, and if it does any permanent damage, it is not intentional. ;)

Of course, Putin is the greatest evil on planet Earth.

Gom Jabbar by Matrix somehow manages to invalidate the file-system if you didn't write-protect it before.

All prods made with Conspiracy's demo tool includes a malware that sends your browser history to Viktor Orban. Be careful.

Oh good, so you didn't discover the hungarocoin miner tsr in there yet? :D

:D

@keops: If you think that suspicious, just wait until you find out that Gargaj runs Pouet.

Garwhat?

on soviet supercomputer?
