windows extensions?

wondering https://aerorock.co.nz/list-of-executabl...s-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).
there is the .new extension for executables tho but comes without icon you just gonna need to use some SE for it in renaming it

In some windows 10 versions is extension for new updates files which run the .exe but not for all versions as far I know

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.
