Author Topic: Extremely suspicious file, would like insight  (Read 4465 times)

A while ago I received an email from a friend with the subject line "cool new game i found", and the email had an attachment. The message body was simply "have fun with ths", which is how he always types, so I'm pretty sure the email was actually sent from him. However, upon opening the uncompressed folder after downloading it and uncompressing it, I find "skijumper.bat" inside with an icon of what looks to be a snowball. I would've opened it if it didn't have the ".bat" file extension, which made me very suspicious, so I opened it in Notepad and read its code. Now, I'm not a coding expert, but I do know some stuff, and what I saw didn't look like any game. I'd like it if someone here who's more knowledgeable with this kind of thing could provide some more insight into what this actually does. I've copied and saved all the code into a new text document and uploaded it to MediaFire. I can assure you this is no trick, it is merely a text file. The only reason it's protected is because I don't want it getting into the hands of someone who could and possibly would do some damage with it, as I'm sure it can do.

If you would like to try and help me out, please PM me for the download link, as I do not want the code getting into the hands of someone that could do the damage of which I'm sure the file is capable.

Aww common, I'm not that bad.

I'd gladly post it here if the Blockland Forums community were a bit more trustworthy.

Read above response to quote.


Read OP br0

already did br0

why not just post the code here? if someone's handicapped enough to open a .bat file in the first place they probably deserved it.

That's not what this is about.

It's that someone would know it's dangerous, and start sending it to people they don't like.

I'd gladly post it here if the Blockland Forums community were a bit more trustworthy, and because someone can easily save it as a batch file and do who knows what with it.

Also because I'd rather not take my chances with getting banned for posting virus code.
