How can I get a trojan?

[milan777]

Maybe it sounds crazy, but I am experimenting with viruses on VMware virtual machine. I need some viruses to do that so I was searching on internet how to get trojan and I've found a video on youtube:

There are a lots of malwares and he showed a malicious websites on this video. It's working on his computer, but on my these sites are broken.

I thought that they are broken by security updates on Windows so I tried it on Linux, but it's not working. That means that they are removed.

Does anybody know working links of trojans like this or malicious sites?

So you WANT to get a virus? Seems weird...

Not weird. It's good to learn. Makes you safer.

I've too have tried but had little luck in finding exploits where the URLs are still functioning.

So can you tell me that working URLs.

[Guest]

Don't know of any.

[milan777]

Don't know of any.

I don't know how did

accessed all this URLs.

I've got a couple old ones hanging out on my email, like Sircam and Bagle, but they won't be any use unless you have an email setup that will let you receive them. I did a test to my work email, but our firewall stripped the virus out, and identified it to me as:

The attached message from was found to contain the virus "Worm.Bagle.BB".

From experience I know it's best to visit some vague websites in the .ru, .cc and .ws TLD's

Another tip: Google for phrases like "Crack", "Hack" and "Keygen" and follow the sites

marked with "This website can be hazardous to your computer"

[milan777]

How can I make google to show me only sites that can harm my computer?

I tried advanced search, but I didn't find anything.

This is for your trojan/virus/spyware adventure I presume?

(You should actually just continue in the thread you already started about

this when this is the case)

Google doesn't offer this "Service" (to my knowledge), but I guess

you'll get more "Lucky" if you switch off "SafeSearch".

Other than that, you can only search for "Questionable" content

like "Warez", "Keygens", "(Child) pr0n" and such.

Most of these sites marked are on .ru, .ws and .cn TLD's.

To be honest: I've just tried to search for "Warez" myself on

servers located in China and while I had about 81.000.000 hits,

I didn't see the warnings anymore

Maybe they've switched them off or just reject them all now?

Yes. That's what one should do.

Threads merged. Resulting thread moved.

@milan777: do *not* do that again!

Consider yourself warned.

Surf all the websites you would typically avoid.

Also look at this topic:

Actually, here is a sure-fire way to get a trojan.

You need: a computer with a NIC and NO anti-virus installed (or disabled). Then you connect it directly to the internet and TURN OFF the Windows Firewall. Then just go to a website, although you probably will get something withing 5 seconds if you are lucky.

Also you can open Outlook Express and add an account into it. A lot of viruses (botnets) like to send emails through Outlook Express. You can STOP your PC from actually sending out said emails by setting the SMTP server to be an invalid address, so then the spam emails will just sit in your Outbox folder.

Seconded - if this is an XP machine, just install it (preferably SP1 or RTM, as they're more vulnerable out of the box) and attach it to the internet with no protection (also second settup up a bogus mail account). Especially if you're on a shared broadband network like cable, your machine will get dirty, and quickly.
