How did they do this?

**kilerboots** · April 1st, 2003, 05:37 AM

I was at some site looking around and it said click here for an awsome cupholder or something like that and somehow they opened my CD-ROM drive. I was wondering how they could be able to do that because I've never seen anything like it.

this was on a website, correct? i mean, you didn't download a program in the process, right? because i know that it is possible in c. did you look at the source, or at least the file extension? like, was it done in php, or what? so many question marks in my post...now i'm curious too as to how they accomplished this. please give a little more info.

Try scanning your system maybe trojan programs had cause to open your CD drive and just a coincidence of clicking the site and the opening of your CD-ROM drive, some trojans also disguised to use sites and any method of penetrating the system. You can also use tools like ZoneAlarm to protect you from invaders.

kilerboots.

Maybe im wrong if trojans hits your pc, i've seen your code posted and it need some modification, and it works. And could you please include the url or what sites did you get in.? May be its another exploits you've found.

yippee! now i understand...that would be Microsoft's Component Object Module technology. M$ has defined every function and attribute of some of it's applications with methods and properties, that can be accessed with any programming language. The main purpose of it, however, was for use with VB. Don't worry, you don't have a virus or trojan, lol.

my analysis (btw, i don't really know vbs, this is just my interpretation)

Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )

Creates an object of windows media player

Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

creates a property of a cd, as though you just inserted a cd into your cd-drive

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
End If

i believe the purpose of the loop is in case you have multiple cd drives, so it'll open all of them.

hope i helped

and thanks for the code, it's really very interesting.
