[tutorial] Simplest way to make an EXE "virus" - linkinpork - Jun 28, 2020
Hi, Porky here with a tutorial
Simplest way to make an EXE "virus"
What do you need?
1. Some basic MS-DOS knowledge
2. A Windows machine
3. Notepad (notepad.exe)
4. Advanced BAT to EXE Converter https://www.battoexeconverter.com/ (not a sponsor, just something I found on Google)
How do you do it?
1. First, start up Notepad.
2. Write what you want your virus to do in MS-DOS. Mass-rename? Download a file? Instant shutdown?
3. Save the file when you're done.
4. Rename the file to have a .bat file type.
5. Use Advanced BAT to EXE Converter to turn the .bat into a .exe
MS-DOS is native to Windows, so as long as it came from a trusted source (not from email attachment or download) it won't get marked as a virus by Windows Defender.
Have fun!
