Why did the folder have a file extension
It’s an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.
Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:
payday
groceries.exe
steak on sale
dinner.exe
It’s being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the “It’s dangerous to go alone…” meme.
But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.
I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.
Understood.iso
wom.bat
Well there’s always self-executing archives
Self-extracting*
maybe someone once performed a command like “for all files in this folder without an extension, append .exe to them” and didn’t exclude subdirectories from that
no nothing similar has ever happened to me, nuh-uh, why would you ever suspect that
Fourty days later, Anon finds that his entire computer file system has been replaced with pics of Morgan Freeman
Why aren’t there viruses like this? Everyone wants to hurt your computer. Do something dumb like that.
Or a screamer virus. That could bring the world to its knees.
My idea was a worm that just torrents random shit and dumps it on your desktop like a cat bringing you a dead bat with “I broughted you a pwesent w” energy.
There used to be a shitton of silly viruses back in the day.
The “you are an idiot” one with the pop-up that runs away from your mouse cursor was hilarious.
How about one that jumpscares you. Or replaces windows with Linux
That’d be hilarious lmao. Just a “windows is updating” progress bar while in the background it installs Mint, complete with transferring users/passwords, then “rebooting…” BAM Mint.
Idk how possible that’d be but a man can dream.
previous license key invalidated, now you’ll see what’s the REAL ransomware ;)
are you referring to a gnu system?
No no, I’m talking alpine Linux
I have many a time been tempted to buy a bunch of cheap flashdrives, fill them with weird shit and just leave them in places.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Either brave or stupid plugging in a random flash drive they found on the street.
Just plug it into an air gapped machine with a Linux live environment
How many people have one of those floating around?
Surely lots. There are dramatically more phones on the planet than people.
Does Morgan Freeman run on Wine?
Perfect way to get a nasty virus.
