the best computer virus
Cross-posted to my own journal:
The worlds best virus still has not been written... but I've thought of it.
Basically take the netboot.img from any linux distribution (which is a super small little image), and infect windows boxes with it.
The way the virus would work is: during the night it reboots your windows host into the netboot image, and does a network install of linux on your computer from any of the open linux distribution sites out there.
Wonderful thing about the netboot.img virus is that 1- it's so small 2- it can be set to completely wipe your harddrive 3- it pulls all the packages to install from the network 4- it leaves you with a fresh linux install.
think about it. all these stupid windows users out there with their computers connected to cable modems go to sleep one night and they wake up the next day and their windows box is now a linux box.
perfect!
