windows extensions? - NyQuil - Jun 13, 2023
wondering https://aerorock.co.nz/list-of-executable-file-extensions-windows/ none of them execute like the old windows, use to be able re rename to .scr and still be executable.
i use to use a icon on a exe and simply change it to .scr, would keep the icon or the .scr would be built with it, other wise just wondering do any extension in windows allow a path and icon, other that a shortcut
for example old rats like darkcomet use to be savable as exe and changed to .scr and execute the same, ,bat, ,scr,, pif, thou i dont think pif has icons

Yea... thats why windows changed that.🙄
Also .scr is no safer than an EXE and security software treats it accordingly.

Best payload filetypes now are probably .js and a vba macro in office files (docx,docm,xlsm,etc).

Hmm...
Far as Im aware .new is just another dumb ass text format.
Dont appear to be executable as far as I can tell. But wtf do I know honestly first time I heard of this file extension.
If I came across this, Id likely guess it was a piece of an update or some crap and delete it lol

last i mess around with executables in at least windows 7 you could rename .exe, .scr, .pif, etc same as dark comet and it would still execute as a e(x)ecutable, might of changed. Just wondering.

What about .com files?
I feel these are overlooked a great deal. I mean even the extension could be socially engineered to believe its a web link.
