Convert .EXE to IMAGE! 

very *Educational Purposes

you do realize computer hacking is very illegal

have how send the code of the weehook.exe

​@@The_Wafool "hacking" is not the same as "stealing people's data and damaging property". So no, hacking is not illegal. What is illegal is using means of hacking to commit actual crimes like stealing, harassing, damaging property, etc. In the same way that teaching people how to pick locks is not illegal either. Though, in many situations, people may state that "hacking" IS "stealing data" as an over simplification of the word. This over simplification causes confusion and makes people think that Hacking is (and can only be) the act of breaking security for the purpose of stealing (and other crimes), but you can hack without causing damage to anyone. Hacking is simply the act of bypassing of security measures, or breaking some other system to gain access or priveledges. But if you have been given permission by the right people to have such access or priveledges, then it's not illegal. And spreading awareness of computer security flaws, like how @ebolaman_ has done here, helps everyone to know how to protect themselves against these exploits. If this was not shown here, it will still be shown in other places where actual criminals hang out. Showing these security flaws can even lead to an eventual patch of the flaws. So keeping this information secret can be more dangerous to everyone.

​@@The_Wafoolno way, its very much legal man what are you talking about?

I guess it is the same for nudity counting as art.

​@@F1L337t w i t c h

Not really, he showed us how is it made so now we're aware how to be careful in case of sus file

it is educational init

I have soo many *educational purpose* ideas!!!🤣🤣

But I think the extension in the properties menu would still be the right one

thatts his whole channel

He hasnt done anything illegal.

Y can hide virus by this method ​@@Kanibulus

It's not like he is going to distribute any zero day exploit through youtube video.

this is old one, if you do this, even Window Defender can catch this, it automatically consider the file as a trojan even when it's not harmful (test file)

​@@catorlife can confirm, it's been like this for a while now

The name will go back to it's original form once you upload it somewhere, so not useful even if the target has no antivirus

there are file managers that separate extension from rest of name like double commander

Wow even as a CS student ? Xdd

True but you're sending it to someone else anyways

Wtf .scr is 'script' not 'screenshare'

@@andrey_sviridov it's Screensaver

@@andrey_sviridoveveryone is wrong it’s screen saver😂

@@Meletion1 yeah, that too. I have bubbles.scr installed as my Win11 screensaver :)

I was tryna find this for so long and this was here the whole time????

frr

The question is whether windows defender detects it as malicious? Or does it depends upton the the exe that is being executed.

Shit I was doing 25 years ago

@@TeeChemist dumbass alert someone ban this kid

Could you tell that how do you switch to a custom system pack and disable thumbnails

​@@Cryptocurrency69 ask Google

@@Cryptocurrency69 Both answers depend on your operating system. You'll have to ask mama Google.

Doesn't help if you're a high value target, the real trick is to know Windows screensavers are autoran executables, and to check the file type. Or use Unix because NT has one of the most comprehensive filesystem permission systems ever that doesn't have execute as an attribute.

Is Windows Defender included in "most AV's"?

​@@phir9255probably yeah wd is the most annoying av because it just does to much I don't have it because it even blocks my work

@@phir9255windows defender is an AV (anti-virus software) preloaded with the windows OS

​@@phir9255likely

@@phir9255 considering windows defender is default installed on all windows operating system, then yes it would be considered part of “Most AV’s”

Wasn't there an exploit that basically did that?

They just send the embed from a other device once they click the image it’s all a scam

@@pinguluk1 no that’s not possible because of how discord works. When you send an image, discord harvests that information and displays the image, more or less like a middleman, in other words it’s literally just an image, you can’t hide executables in it.

thats why you only look at the embed

@@pinguluk1 yeah there somewhat was. for others in the replies: .WebP (note; webp wasn't the only thing that was exploited nor was it only discord related but its the one with most information.)

So ANY image on discord could be laced like this??? Wtf how do you even stay safe from this? Idk how to work linux

​@@infectieonUploaded images with machine code execution will get rejected because they're not REALLY images; The headers and offsets are wildly different and be considered corrupt or invalid. You only need to worry about fake 'images' stored directly on your file system, and make sure not to run them.

Also the reversed text trick used to spoof the file format works only on explorer and a gew other programs, in the most of apps this trick won't work and the original file format will be shown

"linux is free if your time is worthless" proceeds to get hacked by an image

​@@CluelessGeekthis was the cause by my change to dual boot windows/linux to just linux 😅

What about Arabs and Asians, millions would be pissed about having to type their filenames in reverse

you can check the file extension and size when downloading files

both

Have you watched the entire video? because it can look like a png or whatever file and still run as a cmd. @@kamimatsuyama

the RLO method doesn't work after uploading a file to 99.9% of file hosts online. you shouldn't be scared. if you're skeptical, you can always just right click and check the properties

Yeah this isn't actually a danger to anyone. The only reason windows isn't freaking out about the file is because it was made on his computer. If you were to upload that to the Internet and try running it on another computer it'd get instantly sent to the shadow realm by even the worst of anti viruses

@@smoothbraindetainer I tried making my own, and Windows Defender successfully stopped it from executing. Maybe the video uploader disabled Defender for the sake of the demonstration?

@@Lar_me yes exactly my point, even the crappiest of antivirus programs would catch this low-level bug

Love ur vids

right click>insert unicode character

@@ebolaman_ he wants to know how youre able to see that unicode thing

@@Dino-zg2vx when youre renaming the file just right click on the file name and it should give you those options. he literally told you to pay attention

@@Dino-zg2vx it's just built into windows

Second that

the antivirus can do all that
