Kind of insane that I used to watch your videos as a preteen and early teenager who was fascinated with computers and viruses, and now years later I'm 27 and a computer science professor who is regularly referencing your videos to show various viruses in action that I explain in class. So glad to see you're still around!
there are times when all the code will crash the spreading routine's trash for such a simple worm won't you please please tell me where it halts i swear it's not my fault please tell me where in RAM

You can laugh at its behaviour and that'll never bother me, Say the worm is bugged and broken, but I don't pay no heed, And it'll go on, infecting, and strike your neighbours too, You shouldn't have clicked that e-mail, and now your files are through...
And it has a legitimate use (if you remove the part where it sends itself), it can be used as a "boot up notification" script for tracking if it works.
Daniel, as someone who works in cybersecurity now I'd just like to thank you for your massive contribution to the industry, even though as i believe you mentioned in another video that you studied something completely different in higher ed.. used to watch your vids when I was 14-15.. ended up cooking up a little autorun.inf worm in VB6 (LOL) and launching it on my school shortly after. boy were they pissed, they called the cops who called in the feds to track it, yes I got in some trouble... but at age 16 they left me with a slap on the wrist and community service instead of a criminal record. I can look back at it now with humor as it was over 10 years ago, but I still watch some of your older videos for the sake of novelty. Godspeed sir 👍
It's coded too decently for it's name, must be that unwritten rule that malwares need to be called as unflatteringly as possible from the part of AVers.
2K was the last NT-based Windows with a fully consistent UI, just a great system in general. I don't want to do any excessive self-advertising here, but I've uploaded a video about how my Windows 2000 system got infected recently... you might want to take a look at it ^^
I loved Windows 2000. The only downside I remember is drivers being harder to come by and there was a service pack... maybe 3 or 4 that caused the Administrator account to take a long time to log in or something. It's been probably 15 years or more since I had to work on one so I might be misremembering. Edit: I checked out Felix's video. Thumbnails aside (according to the previous poster), it was a really cool video.
The psychopath even used indents and spaces around the equal signs. This was truly a master of vbs worms who like you said was offended by the type who just edited the love letter worm
i love when you sort of self deprecate in the captions about filming the parts in between the video where the computer has to load, and all you see and hear is the sounds of hdd spinning and windows doing its thing, honestly? id have an entire hour to 10 hour loop of that in the backround going during my day because its very relaxing and nostalgic. I adore the original xbox for this reason, its LOUD clicky harddrive sounds so alien and brutal which is why i'll never swap mine out for a new one.
Gotta love the ones that are only either trying to prove something, or trying to set up a harmless prank. That's what I think this was; if I had gotten this when it was in the wild, I'd have laughed my ass off. On another note, how did Clippy show up if Office wasn't even open?

Hello! :) I don't expect you to answer, or atleast notice me, but who knows, who knows... In some of your videos that i completely forgot i remember when your cmd or dos prompt was freaking out, with blank window and cursor jumping all around. Do you know what kind of trickery was that?
hey ive seen alot of videos of you showing alot of the viruses and i wonderd how to do all of this cool stuff can you do a tutorial on how to get the virtual pc's and how to setup all of it so i can do it aswell?
I love this. A passive aggressive virus just meant to shit on script kiddies. I salute this petty coder.

congrats on all youve done!
woah, that's awesome! congrats dude!
Awesome to hear!
As long as there are viruses, so will be Dan
Dan apparently has all the members of the band Supertramp as their email contacts
Take a look at my malware
It's the only one I made
Not much of a malware
You'll quickly see through its charade
I have been listening to a *lot* of Supertramp lately.
there are times when all the code will crash
the spreading routine's trash
for such a simple worm

Apparently so.

*sigh* How long until we need a wiki to keep up?
"Unlike other VBS worms we've looked at, this one is actually well written"
LMAO it's true
"Weighs in at only 41 lines of code" :D
Quite ironic how the virus is called "dumb" yet is better made than other VBS viruses
You didnt even need to fix it!
and it is in formatting heaven omg
And it has a legitimate use (if you remove the part where it sends itself), it can be used as a "boot up notification" script for tracking if it works.
I can feel the visceral hatred of the author dripping from those file extensions.
Agreed. I don't think this author was trying to do anything bad; either a PoC or a prank.
Man is an english major or something because I ain't ever seen a youtube comment use the word "visceral" before
@@realausome you’re actually totally right about that. But that’s not why I use the word. It just made sense.

I was going to say that the person that wrote this script was kind of dumb

Ah hell I was one of 'em. Maybe not that early on, but I turned into one for a while.
I remember running Windows 2000 while everyone was running ME or 98 still. I loved W2K.

i immediately thought of you when i saw this lmfao
The psychopath even used indents and spaces around the equal signs. This was truly a master of vbs worms who like you said was offended by the type who just edited the love letter worm
The analysis of the author is the sorta commentary you can only get with someone of your interests, hobbies, and experiences.
Kinda epic dude 😎.

Like 4’33” for 90s computers?
Lol I saw that caption Dan, no self-respecting danooct1 fan EVER skips through the seek test, let alone the video!
This is the funniest worm I've ever seen. I love it.
I had no idea the startup sound for the Multiman PS3 homebrew was the Windows 2000 bootup sound.
at least he's honest.
happy birthday dan! your videos are one of the reasons i got into technology as my hobby and i cant thank you enough for the effort over the years

Outlook is part of office.
Love the fact that your contacts are made up of members of Supertramp
I'm not gonna skip ahead on the seek test.... that's my favorite part.
Haha, nice! This reminds me of the xkcd 'The Mother Of All Suspicious Files' (1247). Great stuff, thanks Dan!

I am so glad these videos are still being made!
Ironic that there have been no videos for a month

Yup life stuff has been hitting pretty hard lately. Dan is doing just fine though
can just appreciate how long he has been making videos 👏👏👏
God. Been subscribed and watching your videos for such a long time. Love you man, no homo. Favorite youtube channel.
I’m loving the psychoanalysis, makes the viruses more… interesting?
Youre still continuing this channel
Thats awesome
Someone could edit this so well and rickroll everyone on earth
I have no ideas about Computers but I just love to see the payloads and ur voice

Waiting for Worm.VBS.Dumber.
How did you manage to find a computer with drivers since like windows 95?? i want one very badly that supports like all the way to at least XP from 95 or something, any suggestions?

So I have some sort of upper respiratory infection that ISN'T COVID. At some point in time I sneezed on my laptop and got some snot on it.
I guess that means...

My computer now has a virus.

Where is the code for adding script.ini to the MIRC directory and launching itself at startup?
this worm's name describes me so well.
i mean it.
Dan upload we miss you 😢
