Alert - New virus on the loose

[tseug]

Heh, I think I'll search the depths. :winktounge:

EDIT: I checked the CRC of the files in the first level... the only different ones have different sizes

EDIT2: All unique messages have been found. :winktounge: maybe the third is "Z-Bombed.txt" which is randomly distributed all over it.... or he's just an idiot and forgot.

[Chmera]

Looks like this thing is just a flaming sack of crap. But hey, you never can tell, can you?  :tongue:

[tseug]

Here's a challenge: Make a zip file less than 16k (16384 bytes) with as many nodes as possible. A node is any file within the starting zip file. extensions aren't necessary.

EDIT: Sunrise's (13693b) contains 170842, just to give you an idea.

[Mindless]

without nesting, i can get 208 :/

[tseug]

Sunrise managed a very impressive ratio for most of the files... 90-99% :huh2:

[Mr. K]

...and most are blank probably.

[tseug]

Have you looked in it yet? The entire thing extracted would be several TB.

[lomay]

Updateyness.? I've been talking with Sun himself.

Quotes from conversation:

sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:29 PM):
Crap antivirus = Crap Z-Bomb results
Good antivirus = Z-Bomb pwns you
It's an old trick really, I just amplified it in a few ways
(And hid a couple of secret messages in it)

sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:30 PM):
Haha, so your antivirus doesn't automatically scan new received files?
\\Mr. Ksoft - DEVIANTART http://ksoftman.deviantart.com/ // says (9:30 PM):
Not to my knowledge.
sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:30 PM):
That's why it didn't have any immediate effect
If it had've scanned it as soon as you had've received it, you'd've received instant pwnage

sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:31 PM):
Scan on startup would probably mean you'd get locked otu of your computer until you manually deleted the file (or your antivirus)
Haha, I know EXACTLY how it works? ?It's a very simple trick

sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:35 PM):
Bascially, upon scanning, you get pwned
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book... just improved and disguised better
\\Mr. Ksoft - DEVIANTART http://ksoftman.deviantart.com/ // says (9:35 PM):
Hm.? Was I pwned then if I manual-scanned it.
sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:36 PM):
Btw - if you actually can get into the tricks of how it works (not hard), there are a couple of secret mesasges hidden in it
Most likely.
\\Mr. Ksoft - DEVIANTART http://ksoftman.deviantart.com/ // says (9:36 PM):
Odd, computer is working fine.? In fact, it's working better.
OWNED
sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:36 PM):
Hm, maybe it's only on automatic scans then. I don't know exactly what the results will be. All I know is that 99.99% of the time it won't cause any irreversable damage
\\Mr. Ksoft - DEVIANTART http://ksoftman.deviantart.com/ // says (9:37 PM):
So it's not what I thought it was.? It's fixable then.? I had the feeling it zapped your disks, cripped Winblowz, etxc.
sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:37 PM):
No
sunriseh@maxnet.co.nz says (9:38 PM):
It could in theory flood your hard drive until all the space is used up, but that's reversable by deleting
I also doubt that'd happen very often

k, show's over kids.? ?Nothing serious.? lol script kiddie.

EDIT:? More on the inner workings of this thing.? Sunrise has asked that I only post its capabilites and figures.

I'll just say that it has to do with 560GB, and depending on your virus scanner's scanning habits, that will make it nail you faster/slower.? ?Also it is reversible.

Sunrise also challenges you to find out how it works by getting it from http://z-bomb.cabspace.com/? .? Disable your virus scanner before downloading/messing with, just for safety.? Hint: HEADER!

YOU have an deviantart account!? O_o ...*adds you*

edit: wait...i can't.? :sad: *makes an topic about it*
edit2: *added* and it took long :angry:

[Mr. K]

Ahem. offtopic.

Tseug, not TB.  Sunrise said it's 560GB.  I don't have much drive space left so I haven't actually extracted and examined anything.

[lomay]

Ahem. offtopic.

DO'H! 

[tseug]

According to my calculations it's 1.225 TB, which is roughly twice what he said... :huh:

[chaos_defrost]

i love you alexa, why don't you love me?!

A bit off topic, but I remember from when Sunrise/Steaver used to visit the forums regularly, he seems to have a LOT of problems with girls. That's like the fourth or fifth person he's "loved", if my memory serves me correctly, which it may not.

Still four or five more than me, though.  :angry:

[Mr. K]

Same here

I'm searching for the last message; nothing's come up yet.

[Lemming]

Found it. Won't say where, unless you want me to.

all your base are belong to us

Pretty lame, huh?

[tseug]

O_o I already gave up on finding it... but I didn't search the txt files.
