harmless-malware

Malware that does not destroy your computer. Be warned that it may, however, crash it.

Most programs written here are made for UNIX systems, so if you want to run it, you should run it on a Mac or Linux system.

DISCLAIMER: By running any program on this repository, you understand that the creator of the software (Nishant Kompella) is not repsponsible for any lost work, damaged work, or harm to you or your computer.

You do not have the permission to run or download any software on this repository to or on a computer that does not belong to you. You may only run it if you have their explicit consent.

Written in C, Shell, and C++.

How to execute:

Using already-existing executables

Download the executables that are in the default directory of this repository.

Open your terminal. Navigate to the folder you have downloaded the executables to. From there, run the following command:

./(filenamehere)

where (filenamehere) is the name of the executable. So, for instance, if I wanted to run crash, I would navigate to the directory with the downloaded executables, and type in the following:

./crash

Using the source code

Download the src/ file in this repository. Open up the directory in Terminal. From there, type:

g++

If you get a popup asking you to download g++ or gcc, say yes. (No, this isn't malware; it's just the compiler for C++, the language the malware is written in. It won't harm your computer.) After g++ has installed, type it into your terminal again.
If you don't get a popup, but instead get this message:

clang: error: no input files

You are all set. Now all you need to do is type

g++ (sourcefilenamehere)

where (sourcefilenamehere) is the name of the source code file included in the src/ file you downloaded. So, for example, if I wanted to run the executable for crash.cpp, I would type

g++ crash.cpp

to create my executable. Once your executable is created, type

./a.out

to run your malware.
