How to Make a Computer Virus
Since the first self-copying and malicious computer program rolled its way into computers in 1986 virus have caused all kinds of problems. They can cause slowdowns to the machine, corrupt data, display funny or political messages, steal personal information such as credit card numbers or phone numbers, passwords and bank accounts, as well as spam the user’s email addresses and email addresses, and even making the machine unusable.
A virus is a fragment of code that attaches to various files and programs. It then spreads through infecting them. They remain hidden until the infected program is launched. Typically, a virus starts infecting the host program and then propagates to other programs and files, often via e mail. A virus that is successful can cause numerous damages and destruction in a short period of time.
A virus’ creation requires the time and skills however anyone interested in computer programming could learn how to create a virus. You can create a virus to gain knowledge about a programming language, or as a joke. A virus can be used to test an antivirus’s effectiveness.
This article will demonstrate how to create a basic computer Virus using Python. The same procedure can also be used with any other programming language. Python is a great programming language for beginners because it’s relatively easy to learn. Other programming languages which can be compiled, are typically preferred by viruses due to their operation at the lower levels and therefore are more efficient.
