The word virii is the plural of virus. And for the benefits of downloading virii.....hmmm, no benefits, unless you wanna study the code.
Thanks for your input... and no thanks i do not want to download a virus.
a great many hacking tools are considered virii or at least some of it code appears in virus signitures. for instance if your downloading a trojan your AV software will pick it up for what it is. if a program can send out a DoS its considered a DoS virus by most AVs
There is nothing wrong with studying malware. It can be very informative when done properly
ie: see how it works, and how it does what it does. Just do so in a lab enviroment. In other
words offline preferably in a small lan of your own. Or just take your boxen offline and let er
rip. It is an excellent way to learn how these things work.
once in a while, ill go through some old virus and tweak the source and play around with it until i get bored, its actually kind of funQuote:
