Raistlin, that would ne awsome if you could sent that virus to me. Very good point with the legal question, I did some research into that... I couldnt find anything specific, but I found that it is not legal to spread dangerous programs with the intent on causing harm... however the intention here is not to cause harm, so I'm pretty sure its legal.
That test virus file I think will be very useful for the project as a whole Homealone, nice one for the link.
Oh heres a copy of hte 1st prototype, if anyone could have a read through and give a little review that would be very useful. It is designed for those with little knowledge but a critcal apprisal from more experienced people would also be great.
here it is
Note: it has yet to be proof read so appogies if there is bad english. |
Hi Fordicus, let me please add my welcome.
One slight problem with the email viruses is that ntl block them at server level to any virus attachment sent to an ntlworld email address.
You may want to set up another email account with a network that does not employ AV checking at server level.
Hope that helps, and all the best with your report.
Also, you may want to discuss the issue with the ntl AUP team, they can be contacted via this link, there is an option in there to raise a security related enquiry.
