Nak's Server Shield V 4.0: defeated by Phoenix Virus!
Nak's Server Shield V 5.0: awaiting response...

actually, it wasnt hard. i think it might have been the weakness naknak told me about.

Yes, 4.0 had nearly no protection. I think it is currently only at 4.5ish. Once it is at 5.0 It will probably not be defeatable.

eheheheh, we'll see... we'll see...

seeing as I don't even know what the name of your virus is, this isn't a fair fight.

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

of course! the name is... the default name of Script itself. ingenious huh? people spend so much time on free models they forget the true underground, vital, fragile work of programming. i was making this virus for administrative privileges, but now my motivation is dependent on the power of information, letting creativity flow. knowledge is power.

anti-viruses should have manual moderation. so the user can decide what scripts to allow and remove. :P

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

I thought that was an option? Maybe it is only in the newer version I have yet to release...

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

I don't see the point of anti-viruses. just stay away from free models and no viruses will come your way. =P

They are a good way to take over a ton of maps by secretly injecting admin commands ;)

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

oh yea! xD Person299 is an admin to nearly every game now! he secretly inserts himself in the admin list! xD

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Yeah. He should have encrypted that part along with a few vital parts so no one could remove that part. Or the whole thing. Either way, he owns a good bit of Roblox ;)

tru dat. :P

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

i might want to delete any thing named "Person299's Admin Commands v2.0" using my virus XD!

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

or anything with "Admin" in it's name, that would work better since people change the name.

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

i'll call my admin commands 'Blueymaddog's AC' XDXDXDXD

Isn't it easier to do something like this:

Viruses = {"4dbeing", "vacine", "etc"}
function Scan(Where)
if not IsAVirus(Where) then
if pcall(function() Where:GetChildren() end) then
for _,v in pairs(Where:GetChildren()) do Scan(Where) end
end
else
Where:remove()
end

function IsAVirus(What)
for _,v in pairs(Viruses) do
if v:lower()==What.Name:lower() then
return true
end
end
return false
end

Scan(Game)

That is basically what an anti virus is, but a really good one should be able to detect large amounts of scripts with the same name, except for maybe "Script"

That way, the AV can kill nearly any virus, or if the owner was smart and named all of their scripts different things, it would kill all viruses.

if .Source was back then we would be able to make the next generation of AV's!!!!!!!

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

and viruses... They should unlock it again. I loved it when it was unlocked.

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

and viruses? oh ya, being able to get rid of AV threats to the virus. XD

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Your missing the point. Were you here when the original Roblox virus hit, Infected? It turned all scripts' sources into the Infected source code. It is the reason Source was locked.

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

but what if they made the property read only?

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

That would work in favor of both, still. Both could read other anti viruses/viruses to make sure that itself stays safe. Also, a virus could read another scripts source, copy it, delete the script, and replace that script with an Identical copy, except that it has a small part in it that is a virus.

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

how do you do that when it's source is read-only?

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

I guess it really depends what you mean by read-only.
