Commodore 64 Style

Me and Gary went on a 1337 expedition to the local dump, once there we went to the recycling center, (I jest). Our eyes were appalled to see some old hag throw out a beautiful treasure. A C64! Gary scrambled to it, grabbing joysticks and cassettes!
For the princely sum of €3 (which we banded together to pay), we headed off into the sunrise to test what once was the grandfather of games. It now sits in my boot.

Get Past (most) Trojans & Viruses

Today I spent a long time setting up and installing a modded version of XP onto a 1TB Raid-0. With my new system I wanted some new programs. Keep everything fresh.

Just a little background on some trojans and viruses. They usually dont "embed" or "insert" themselves into executables. They generally embed the executable into them, they appear exactly like the executable. And when their run they execute their malicious code, THEN they execute the executable to ensure you dont notice anything suspicious.

So I *Legally* Got myself a copy of Windows Media Player 12. Except it had an embedded trojan. The modded version of XP had 7Zip installed and integrated, I was confused when the context menu included 7Zip for exe files.

So I messed about and extracted the exe. Viola! I found the original Windows Media Player 12 install inside the trojan exe. Completely bypassing it!
