The Daily Hacker 10/8/13: Trying to Look Smart
This is something I used to do to impress people. I would say that I had my computer locked down pretty good, and I had coded my own antivirus. While that actually is true today, it wasn't true a few years ago, when I was doing this.
This entire thing is basically just BS. It doesn't do anything except for impress those looking at your screen.
What you're doing here is making it look like you have protocols that you wrote on your computer that do a bunch of different security thingies. In actuality, it's just a .bat file that you have in your Startup folder.
Open Notepad and type:
@title LogonSecurity v.3.6 @echo xX* LogonSecurity (version 3.6.1). Written by (yourname). *Xx @echo . @echo . @echo Connecting to proxy server (127.0.0.1)... @echo Connection established with 127.0.0.1. @echo . @echo Setting up encryption protocols... @echo Protocols running. @echo . @echo Disabling internal logging... @echo Logs disabled. @echo . @echo Scanning C:\ for potential spyware... @echo Drive clean. @echo . @echo Disabling internal logger.exe... @echo Logger.exe disabled. @echo . @echo Scheduling logoff connection and internal drive protocols... @echo Tasks scheduled. @echo . @echo !!!---A security risk has been detected. Would you like this program to delete the risks? The risks are the following files: "fbilogger.exe".---!!! @echo . @pause @echo . @echo "fbilogger.exe" deleted. @echo . @pause @echo . @echo YOUR COMPUTER IS SECURED AND READY FOR USE. @echo . @pause @echo . @echo . @echo !!!---ANY ATTEMPT TO REPRODUCE THIS SOFTWARE WILL BE MET WITH LEGAL AND DIGITAL ACTION. THIS SOFTWARE SHOULD NOT EXIST ANYWHERE ON YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR.---!!! @echo . @echo . @pause exit
This is great for when people are looking over your shoulder when you're logging on to your computer. Now, you can get rid of the "fbilogger.exe" thing; it's just something I did to make it look like I was into trouble with the police, lol. Now, save this wherever you want to as "logonsecurity.bat" and copy it. Open your start menu, go to All Programs, and scroll down until you see a folder labeled "Startup." Rightclick and select "Open". You can then paste your .bat file in here and close it. Now, it'll run whenever you start up your computer (hence the folder's name).
Remember, like any good magic trick, this can only be performed once to a person without modification. If you left the fbilogger.exe thingie in there and showed it to the same person a second time, they'd get suspicious. Hope you liked it, and happy trolling!
