Remotely running programs - Cracker_19-73 - Jun 10, 2025
Good day to all.
This is my first time registering on this site, and I am writing a post mostly to avoid being auto-banned.
But there is still a topic I could ask you about - tell me where to look and what to read to make a simple program that would automatically open and perform some actions when installed?
For example, a program that my friend downloads, and it either starts automatically, immediately after downloading and starts, for example, the console (nothing serious), or starts the console after running the file (it would be desirable to also disguise the .exe file under a different extension, or make another extension RUNNABLE).
I repeat, the topic was written so that my profile would not be deleted, but whoever knows a lot about the topic - please write a few words. It will be interesting to read.

conhost.exe is always running. Executable files do not autolaunch when downloaded because that would be one of the stupidest things. There isn't malicious code that can execute just by being written to disk. Browser exploits, maybe.
Saying that you're making a post for the sake of doing it is LQ and not helping you. Very cringy.

DramaKing, I did it so that my account wouldn't be deleted. I'm not saying that I'm not going to read the forum and learn something new. It's just that my skills are so low that I'm not able to ask a question correctly on any topic or give someone recommendations. And still - the question was asked on topic, so I don't think it should be considered negative for someone.
I'm a newbie, so I'll still gain experience.

Drive-By methods used to be a thing.
I had tons of success with Java Drive-By, injecting my malware into Java browser games, making it automatically execute on the device upon start.
However, this was mainly a thing like 10-20 years ago, browsers are more secure, so it’s harder to execute malware on devices automatically.

Oh, and you can certainly change a .exe to something like .wav. You just have to write to the HKCU hive in order for Windows to execute the file correctly.
