Usage 🐧

Warning - When you run it, make sure you know what you are doing! Be Careful! This virus was mostly done as an educational project!

• Also, this version is currently a bit unstable, and anti-viruses dislike one small feature. Will release a more stable one in the future!

How to run

You can compile all project in the Visual Studio solution. We recommend running the virus directly! (Vegan`Virus.exe)

If you want to embed the virus inside another executable (which is a bit hard), you can run VirusBuilder.exe.

• Place the virus executable and it's images, audio and documents folders inside a zip folder.
• Run VirusBuilder.exe and fill in the following:
• Your executable as the base executable
• the VirusExtractor.exe as the executable to add.
• virusLoader binary (you can compile it with nasm) as the loader.
• the zip with the virus as the additional data
• the manifest file from the VirusBuilder folder as the manifest file. And that's it!
