Truth be told, VB (and by extension, VBS) doesn't require you to declare your variables _at all_ (unless you explicitly enable this check with Option Explicit, which I heavily recommend if you're stuck using these languages). On the other hand, not _initializing_ your variables leads them to have a value of Empty, and that's not very useful when trying to call methods on them...
I used to watch his videos when I was like 9 or 10 (so think like 2015-16) and they really are oddly comforting. On top of that there’s also that familiarness since I did kind of grow up on it as weird as it is to think about. I’ve just been really fascinated with malware since I was young. Maybe it’s a sign lmfao
I like the subtitles on all of these because there's never like. Wasted words. It really is being filled as a disability aid should be, even the like. Descriptive ones, because they explain things that are happening that you wouldn't have known WHY otherwise- the POST beep and the searching sound jut out to me, for example.
Great video, Dan. It’s great to hear your voice and explanation on what the malware of the past is doing as it runs again. Classic viruses are somewhat special.
This is what happens when you put a virus together and send it out within in a few weeks to bank on a recent tragedy. Take your time and bug test your programs.
As a programmer this just made me facepalm. Variable scopes are one of the most BASIC things you should know when writing code. EDIT: The reason why it didn't work when you did not include the Set statement was because VBS interpreted "thani = jaz" as an expression, meaning it was comparing the two. Adding Set explicitly declared thani to equal jaz.
It's interesting how often these are completely broken. I guess it must be that they never actually bothered to test them, since they'd need a bunch of burner Windows installations?
@@tigerstyping you can test destructive behaviour by making a "virtual environment", or fancy work in this case for, make it do it on some kind of scope (folder, or something), a smaller, less destructive variant that let you test And try the hard variants on Other people PC's =V
@@nadadada3938 Oh, yeah I would personally know how to safely test something like this without actually trashing any machines. I just mean like, I seriously doubt the people who wrote this virus had a concept of unit testing or virtual environments, considering how many issues it has. Since it seems to be a theme with these viruses, I'm just thinking maybe they were too lazy to find a safe way to test them. It was a little more complex back then, since you couldn't just spin up a VM and make backups of it. And I'm not a Windows lady, but I think it would be sorta tricky to test out the registry payload without access to virtualization, since that would be a system-wide change.
@@tigerstyping I started coding a bit after XP went out so can't tell, but I'd have a reverse script at that time, just to reverse all global interactions, but I mean, I think after years and years as a tester and developer your mind starts to bend in a weird way, fitting for XKCD#2501
Hey Dan, yesterday i was trying to find some old “safety” videos that were on your channel (one of them involved street racing, thats all i can remember) Can you reupload them to one of your alts or are they lost forever? I know it was an animation that probably ran on DOS. It did use pixels but that’s all i remember.
Maybe this was before my time, but in the like 8 or 9 years I've watched danooct1 on and off, I don't remember seeing or hearing about anything like that. As far as I know Dan's channel has been pretty focused on malware since it was created (minus the few times he reviewed a bunch of old computers). If you didn't specify that the videos were animations though I probably would've said to look at rogueamp lol. :p
Another Worm was spread nearly a week after the attacks on 9/11, that was Nimda which lead to many sources had any ties to the attacks, but this wasn't the case.
Sounds like either the person who originally created this was either lazy, didn't know how to code, or they got cold feet there in the end and didn't actually want to destroy data after all. Not sure which. LOL
Ah yes, another one where Dan has to do the creator's job for them.
I think thats why dan can now upload weekly
When you want to make a destructive virus, but fail to properly declare a variable LOL
Taking over the world by forgetting to declare a variable?
Seems legit.
A variable? EVERY variable. He used a bunch of variables that were only defined in a completely different file!
Truth be told, VB (and by extension, VBS) doesn't require you to declare your variables _at all_ (unless you explicitly enable this check with Option Explicit, which I heavily recommend if you're stuck using these languages). On the other hand, not _initializing_ your variables leads them to have a value of Empty, and that's not very useful when trying to call methods on them...
and he didnt test it?
I declare a variable to be independent
Clippy being like "I know you hate me, but I know this file is probably not safe."
LOL So true...
I can't help but imagine the original virus authors one day finding these videos, seeing you fix their errors and screaming internally.
And cringing at the messages they thought they were cool to show to the user
it's oddly soothing to watch your videos! I'm a computrer nerd too, but not into programming/coding, but still, very interesting!
Good

I always read the subtitles, and yes, I'm having a great day! Thanks for the awesome content!
"In fact windows is not going be starting anymore"
"Clippy may have an idea but we don't need him anymore"

Best content on UA-cam. Period.
The virus creator had one job...
"Even Clippy is looking incredulous."
The alternating 90's hAcKeR tExT lmao I love it.

The subtitles are always on point
I vote yes for follow-up videos!
My favorite is the virus that makes Dan's PC post videos so frequently.
A long upload again! You spoil us Dan, please keep up the good work
10:53 - no dan, you are! i love these videos, thank you as well
Win16 viruses are my favorites. Would love to see a follow-up on Vote and Tentacle! Thanks for the new videos as always, Dan :D
Your hidden messages in your subtitles always make me smile when I'm in the middle of wagecaging.

Gotta love the sound of the Model M key presses c:
I hope you’re having a wonderful day too, Dan. Always enjoy seeing new content from you :>
babe wake up the new danoct1 vid is out
Reading the captions makes me very happy, it's really cool to see you add them to your videos!

i love your channel so much man. super calming and fun :^)
great video, would be pretty cool to see follow up videos too, but im also a sucker for any danooct1 content in general
This is like a comfort channel for me
Thank you for the captions!
I love the debugging in your videos :)
Well... was almost a self-cleaning virus.
Who else remembers when Dan did a DOS virus with the same name?
01:03 Clippy acts like an old lady; it's listening to you and saying something like "Mhmm, mhmm, oh my dear danooct1, you're so naive and sweet."
Man, ZaCker was quite the expert hacker. Very impressive worm.
Could you do a follow-up video for some pieces of malware from several years ago? Go back about five to seven years.
as always, great video ! keep it up Dan :D
always up for more danooct1 content, so follow-up videos are a definite "yes" from me!
No, you are the best. Subtitle man!
Awesome video, as always!
A worm that has so many errors? Not very well written there.
Glad, you're alive
"You got mail... or not"
It's great that the biggest malwaretuber is back
Yet another great video!
I'm a l33t h4x0r. I don't even understand a BASIC for...next loop.
Happy April Fools Day, Dan!
Hey Dan, I have a question;
How were viruses like these able to spread and cause damage if they didn’t even work properly?
The email spreading routine supposedly worked, Dan just couldn't get it to.
The email routines.
9/11 content on April Fools… I’m not mad, that’s just crazy stuff. Regardless I love your videos!
Another Worm was spread nearly a week after the attacks on 9/11, that was Nimda which lead to many sources had any ties to the attacks, but this wasn't the case.
2:57 Whoever wrote that subtitle, thank you! 😊
That would be Dan
@@PsychoFizz Well then, thank you *Dan!* (Thank you PsychoFizz for letting me know that.) 😉
@@cameronbosch1213 my pleasure :) have a good one
This is the only video not being a prank on April first
Great! A new Worm video! 😇👍🏻💙
closed captions are your best friend :3
Dan has ASWOME Vids! I love the study of computer worms and viruses
Should have changed your name to Mu-4
I hope you have a wonderful day too!
If this wasn't so broken this would be legit concerning
This one can be fixed, I believe.
You my favorite youtuber
Well… another virus/worm from the late-90s to early-2000s that was written poorly? I’m shocked! /s
Indeed, it's like the script kiddies didn't have a spare PC to trash, and had never heard of a VM
The joke: The virus doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Jokes aside, happy April Fool's Day!
5:02 "and good riddance"
how dare you
great video, if you end up making a followup video, i would love to watch it!!
2:56 I love these subtitles
3:00 thanks subtitle author :D
hey, are you going to continue the viewer made malware series? i like watching that series.
viewers have to make malware
I want the full experience of your worm.
thank you
hope you're having a wonderful day too :)
I need subtitles because I love reading them while watching or it's maybe I missed something people are saying
there's more than just vbscript files.
have you tried reversing the exe?
1:51 Clippy got that light skin stare
LOL, I'm sure it's a coincidence, but we have a voting in 2 days in my country. :D
IE is the internet’s version of the wooden pickaxe
Funny subtitles lol
Classic virus if you are a long time fan of his channel.
More like the WTC computer worm, or World Trade Center computer worm.
i love email worms
at 0:04, he already went into the 9/11.
best not be a rickroll
Awesome.
Is there an email server running on your system?
the april fool's joke: the virus not working
Subtitles at 2:57
I hope you are as well
In Windows 98 just double click the "restart" or "shutdown" I was doing this 98 was at its height.
How did viruses like this destroy computers in the past with so many errors?
where you download outlook?
Sounds like either the person who originally created this was either lazy, didn't know how to code, or they got cold feet there in the end and didn't actually want to destroy data after all. Not sure which. LOL
Hi danooct kkkk, memz is nice lol
I can't vote online if you brick my pc, silly worm.
3:00 thanks
This worm runs just fine, edit-free!
April Fools!
danooct1 upload :)))
Big destructive worm💣💥💥 ... if you help it litle bit 😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
emailn't worm, eh?
It's not a prank!
I thought this was Yote.
Divertido vídeo 😃👌
pog
Vote or unvote?
Hey dan, i made a win 3.1 virus called Alowin, you can try it, if you reply, i will send the download link. Note, it works in C:, not windows folder.
