Visual Basic Worm Recipe

I found this in my blog monitoring for worm-related topics. It's a very simple mass mailer recipe, using Visual Basic to spread. While at first this may seem quite irresponsible of me to post it, think about how many mass-mailer detection and prevention systems are in place, and know that there are safeguards in place to prevent this from being a problem. Now, of course, be responsible when you use this. I hope you're using it to study the effects of malware on a test network and maybe to develop detection tools and improve the state of security.

Now the 1st thing we are going to do is show you what our worm we are going to create is going to preform. The worm we are going to create is w32.N00bie. This worm is not very powerfull but is good for the beginner. To be able to create this worm you will need Microsoft Visual Basic. Visual Basic is a RPD or Rapid Application Builder. We will now begin to make our 1st program in Visual Basic. Open up Visual Basic and select a Standrad .exe Program. Now, Visual Basic will load a Windows that is titled “Form1″ This is the main form for Visual Basic. This is your worm.
