MkRebootHta_V1.exe

Edited by gunsmokingman

Using a batch file and cheating at the same time, try this!

It is just a batch file, I places it inside a zip file just in case of forum formatting errors. When you read it you will see why!

Would you or anyone else care to explain what does ~tmp.exe do? :rolleyes:

Would you or anyone else care to explain what does ~tmp.exe do? :rolleyes:

just briefly looked over the code, but if i have this right (which i probably do haha) i'll explain it.

in short.. it's just a coutdown script

in long..

the "jibberish" thats being echoed gets written to the file ~tmp.com then gets executed and the output is dumped to the file ~tmp.exe (thats the real executable, all it does is counts down by 1 second intervals with the help of the tmp.vbs script). once the countdown has been reached "shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00" gets ran which tells the comp to shutdown immediatly.

Thanks for your help. Pls bear with me...

I still don't understand what the "jibberish" code means and what the exe does.

I can see the for in do loop does the countdown from 180 but what exactly does ~tmp.exe do inside the loop?

That "jibberish" code is simply some other symbols relevant to those characters appearing on your keyboard.

Surprisingly, that "jibberish" code is meant to write the following into the COM file:
