First actual face to face SE.

It's the best feeling ever getting away with it.
I was with a group of friends.
One of them who is very computer oriented.
He doesnt know me very well,
So he knows nothing about my knowledge of "hacking" or anything computer.
I convinced him today that this flash drive I had wouldnt open a file. (it was really the shutdown code)
I changed the icon and named it Photos.
He didnt even double guess putting it in his computer.
He gave me the "you're retarded" look. (He has a HUGE ego)
He double clicks it, and starts to freak when he sees my custom line... "Computer shutting down due to Security Breach"
I had set it for 30 seconds before shutdown.
I acted like I had no idea what happened and apologized constantly.
I used his ego against him.
With his ego and "knowledge,"
He should know not to put some random flash drive into his comp from a random guy he barely knows.
Had I been a real stranger with ill intent.
I could have had an autorun file on the drive, and have it copy the folders to my flash drive and walk off.
Not even autorun it, just convince him the file I want him to click on is the broken one.
I had fun though! lol

You'd think someone who claims to know computers would be able to tell the difference between a folder icon and a batch file icon. You would think.

I said in the beginning of the message I changed the icon and named it photos... lol

But in any other case, I'd agree.

Do you know how to do that? I've attempted to do it before thinking it would be useful but wasn't successful.

It's been removed on Windows 7 but can still work on XP if the autorun service is enabled (it is by default). How you word the "open=" line in the INF can trick a lot of people up, though. It doesn't actually open. It only executes, so you may need to invoke the appropriate application to run whatever file you're trying to autorun.

O.o I was under the impression that you can't change icons in Windows. You can only change shortcut icons.

This, I did not know.

Either way a good anti-virus should catch it.

Oh, and no, an AV wont stop it.
If you have your AV stopping batch files, you may have some problems with some programs... haha

Actually, the AV will probably stop the autorun.
