Can anybody please give me some hints about virus coding in VB???

I have come to know some techniques on virus coding, but all the staffs are on assembly language. I have also read the previous messages about Virus coding posted in this message board. But reading those message I have become more disappointed, Because none of those messages are about Virus coding (Not even Close).

I have been searching the net for the last few days to get some info on the topic. But unfortunately I did not find any fruthful informations.

If there is anybody who can help me on the matter (even some hints will also help me a lot) then please please do reply me.

I want to assure that, I m trying to know about virus coding only for educational purpose. So Please help me increase my knowledge on programming field.

Okay, I've been away for quite a while, but I'm back in town now. Now, for the virus thingy, you'll need to know what exactly you want your virus to do. "I want it to do.... virus things" is just not enough. Why are you making a virus? That is the question you schould ask yourself.
EtHeO out...

Thank you very much for replying to my message in this group. I will be very glad if u give me some hints about virus coding in VB6.

The things that astonises me and I want to learn about are:

1) How viruses spread from one file to another without damaging it ( I mean without damaging the functionality of the exe or com files)?

2) Second most important question is, although I have read some articles on virus coading and how they spread in a perticular PC from one file to another, I don't know how actually a virus spreads through the i-net or network. I find it very spooky because its easy to spread a virus within a perticular pc's files but when it comes about spreading from one pc to another in a network, lots of things like security system, proxy server, access authority etc.. etc... are related. So how actually a virus spread in a network?

3) Finally, as I've mentioned, all the articles I've read were written about how one can write virus in assembly language (althouth I did not understood all of it, just managed to understand 70%). So my question is, is it really possible to code a virus in VB6? (a real one that will have the ability to spread through net).

Thanks again for replying to my message, and hope to hear from u soon. I want to mention again that the knowledge will be strictly used for educational purpose. If someone wants to let me know something on this matter and don't want all other to get this infomations then you can contact me in the following e-mail account.

Just a little tip before I begin: do not ever post your email address on a forum; this will get you loads of spam. Instead, use something like rana (UNDERSCORE) mailbox [At] yahoo.com

Now, to enter your questions:
1. What a virus does to infect another executable, is paste its own code (not VB code, but exec code), minus the RET call, inside the program it's trying to infect. Because VB requires so much different dll imports and such, it is impossible to do this, unless you know absolutely sure what you are doing. It requires some unlovely hex editing I advise you to stay away from.

2. Virii tend to spread in several ways:
- Infecting P2P attractive files, like cracks and such
- Mailing themselves to every email address found on the computer
- Using exploits to attack other computers

3. Hypothetically, yes. Practically, no. If you really want to code something quick, clean and feisty, try a "real" language, like C++, Java, Python, even PHP. Or, if you are willing to dedicate the rest of your life and probably your afterlife, start learning ASM.

Thanks a lot for your advices and tips. Now a days I m learning C++, But my main terget was to learn visual C++6 (given that I already know C a bit). But visual C++6 seemed to me so combursom that I really don't know whethere I could be a good programmer of visual C++6.

By the by ASM is not too critical to learn, specially if U want to code a virus in it.

Hope to get some more evil things in this message board, I'll also post some evil works of mine (very soon I hope).

Keep in touch and lastly it would be very very helpful to me if you can post some (or send me some) web addresses from where I can enhance my knowledge of virus coding.

i thought it would be easy to find info about viruses and the like boy it was tough
but what i found most important is to use ur imagination of harming a computer in any way possible though it might not be given the name viruse .but i dont support harming any pcs just for the sake of knowledge i am talking this
the simplest viruse i could think of in vb is to copy the logoff batch file in your system32 folder to the windows startup program
the code is real easy . then everytime a user tries to login it is logged of
also to replicate this viruse i suggest you use the timer control in vb the code there simply checks the status of the floopy if the program is there it does nothing else it infects the new floopy ....have fun
the dummest way of creating viruse
open source open mind

Although virii often are associated with their negative effects, they are not mandatory in a virus. The main thing a virus does, is spread. The damage is done by malware (often included in the virus, but not always). Please do not mix up the terms.

omg!!! do ye guys and gals no anything about coding??? well if you want to code you have a to have a pattern set up and if you want the virus to do different thins you also have to change the pattern but if you want some virus codes you can mod them ur self or send them to someone as a birthday email (lol) but if you want codes just send me a rply at: jonathanpcoleman@hotmail.com

Just thinking about viruses in general. Ideas for a virus that once executed would scan the harddrive for .bat .exe & maybee .class files and patch itself to them.

Then the viruses would:
a) Permenatly damage the computer os at a preprogrammed date
b) Just stay there and wait for remotecontrolling. //Also cool to have an own proxy bounce network.
c) Start Keylogging
d) Display a joke message/ advertise something
e) Ping a server (make money on this?)
f) Evolve
h) Burn the CPUs & GPUs to 100%, turn off the fans and in the end make the computer meltdown.
g) Send random documents back to home for bored people to read

Preferbly the virus should be:
relativly stelth consuming only 1%cpu
small filesize
have codevaritions to avoid anti-viruses
have somesort of massautodestruct feuture built in case it became waaay to powerful.

sorry me too search like this coding.if you know the codings meanns pls help me
