Happy 42nd part 2

So... as I was saying....



What happened? If you had been "played", then on 9th August 2007 00:00hrs, the My Computer icon on your PC would have been changed to the Beng Hacks icon =) Neat eh? LOL

How did I do it? Simple really.

First is to propogate a trojan into the wild hiding as a freeware tool (in my case, file chopper). Embedded in this tool is a timer to change the My Computer icon at the fixed date, via the registry. Using SetRegistryValueEx, I modify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
Software\
Classes\
CLSID\
{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\
DefaultIcon
to my icon I already unpacked when u installed the filechopper.

^_^

Just to show that I'm nice, to set it back, just find the registry value above and set back to %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe,0

Happy 42nd!

Some of you might remember that tool I wrote to "that" free site, the file chopper?

Actually the truth is I loaded the thing with a small payload to change a particular icon to . Dun worry you'll see it if u kenna! ;-)

It'll activate on 9th August 00:00 PC time.

Have fun! =)
