W32
Well I was just sitting here thinking.....thinking....and i was wondering. What is a W32 virus made in? and what is W32? I'd just like to know alot about them and how they work. [im not trying to be a 1337 h4x0r and takeover the world. just curious]
I tried google and couldnt find anything useful.

Well, W32 means Win32, ie a virus which runs in a 32bit Windows environment.....a lot of the most recenet viruses have been written in VBScript!!
-
What are virus writers motives? I mean if they are intentionally spreading viruses, they know that they will probably go to jail if they coded something good enough....or bad enough...:rolleyes:
The only thing I found was this. A little scary.
"We need to rid our selves of all the computer illiterate users." says one anonymous virus creator.

But I was thinkining that wasnt everyone a beginer at one point? *ahem*:bigyello:

I have only seen virus code once, and that was written in Perl...but that is a couple of years ago....I think CyberSurfer is right. Most are using VBScript today. Not many uses ASM. The code is way to advanced these days that you need a lot of effort to write it in ASM. But a lot of hacking tools are still made in ASM....because you can reach so deep into the computer with it....

can u actually still assembly [martinliss might wanna move this too chit chat] or is it free or what? I'm really interested in learning it. I guess its because its a very universal programming lang, for windows.

Do you talk about me??? I know some ASM, but not very much I am afraid. It was fun learning it. But I don't think there is much use for it these days.....
