Never mind i FIGURED it out.

Did it function by only adding the tab to the delims section?Yeah thanks! Cool. Yeah i know right!

Cool.

Wanna be my programming budy, im 17 but im really goodEveryone thinks that at 17.... Quote from: zask on December 14, 2015, 07:12:23 PM
Wanna be my programming buddy

I added a 'd' there coz there was a syntax error.

Does a programming buddy get first dibs on copyright, and PATENTS? That might work for me.
I'm not sure what you need help with in coding, but the forum is here for help

well i dont care bout copyright as long as i get credit but i like to program virus generators, ikr lol
im not gonna get banned or anything for posting my code so if you wanna see what ive been really working on then you could email me. I eventually want to learn enough about viruses to start creating antivirus I've learned a lot so far...

Back a fair way in the past, AV programs were command line tools only - and I wrote a script to scan cdroms for malware (shareware cdroms were popular back to get shareware, before the Internet was in common use).

My script unzipped all the programs on the shareware cdrom, in many archive formats, and scanned it all for malware. A report was generated with the results, and was all automated. It was good fun.

Back then the only AV tool I know about was McAfee Scan - and BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) with a dialup modem was the way to get any AV updates.

I learned a lot about them back then - and it began when my machine at work was infected with a boot sector virus called Pong, which was shared around on 5 1/4 inch Floppy disks.

Pong was a benign virus, but viruses grew more malicious as time passed.
I hope you succeed in your plans to learn and develop AV software - it's a much more complex field these days.

Rather than having a "programming buddy" and sharing code over email I'd suggest setting up a Github account and putting any code you want to be open source on there, people than then contribute as they see fit and it makes life a lot easier than managing code changes through a forum which really isn't a great way to share code. Sure it takes time to learn how it all works but it s a very important skill to have and gives your code decent exposure. This can be particularly good for applying for programming related jobs as your Github account acts as a portfolio of all the work you've done. For example, my Github account is at https://github.com/camerongray1515 - Most of my larger stuff is private for now as I need to clean things up in order to make them public but you get the idea.

I'd look into proper open source licences, they really aren't as scary as they first look - You essentially include a licence file in your project and fill out the copyright years and names.etc - This means that your work is formally licenced and restricted to what people can do with it. You'd probably want to look at the MIT licence which is essentially "do what you want as long as you leave my name in the licence file" and GPL which is similar but states that if you change the source code, you must also share the changes that you made.

Not trying to discourage you but just be very careful with this - It's all too easy to make something to see how it works and accidentally get into a massive legal mess by accidentally running the virus somewhere it shouldn't have been run. I mentor at a programming club for under 19s and quite often there are people making harmless prank type things (randomly playing noises in the background or opening the CD tray type stuff), this is all well and good until they come up with the next idea "how do we make it so it replicates to other devices on the network?" - Now you have a pretty dangerous virus! You don't necessarily need to write a tonne of viruses to be able to make antivirus as viruses are so varied it would be impractical to make enough to cover all the different ways they work, instead you would need to ANALYSE common viruses to see what they do and how you can recognise them. It could be quite fun to see what sort of detection rate you can get but obviously don't expect to be able to rival the large antivirus providers with their teams of security researchers, there's a reason that many SMALLER antivirus programs use virus scanning engines from other companies!

There are also lots of other interesting areas to get into other than antivirus. Web applications are a huge, growing area (everything is moving onto the web/cloud nowadays) and they are quite easy to get started on and easy to put launch to the public - This could be an area to apply your skills to.Quote from: camerongray on December 30, 2015, 04:52:34 AM

Thank you for the information about github.com, and don't worry about the whole accidentally getting in a legal mess. I have a professional programming teacher at my school that teaches me about regular programming, and after school he teaches me how to program viruses and disable, for example, if i wanted someone's computer to pop out it's cd try i could make a simple vbscript to do that, but then all i would have to do is end it's TASK in taskmgr. but if i wanted to add it to for example "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" then i would simply remove it from that folder, or if it infects drives, system files, or data i could just run it on a virtual machine lol. my teacher is a old school virus writer, he told me the only way to truly understand how viruses work, (by the means of where they deploy, how they remain anonymous while they transfer throughout flash drives or worse networks) you have to know how they are designed, and now of coarse it is possible to learn how to create antivirus without actually having to create a virus. But if you truly want to create good antivirus software you have to understand multiple types of viruses, stay updated on vulnerabilities, zero days, and such. which can be a pain to some but i actually enjoy the art of creating viruses (As long as it done legally in a safe and secured environment). I treat it as if it is my hobbie, i believe all forms of code are beautiful in there own unique way. and my craving for knowledge in all subjects of programming holds a strong importance in my life. Oh boy... Next he will tell us how his teacher also did time in jail for fraud Quote from: Geek-9pm on December 31, 2015, 04:18:17 PM
