Email-Worm.Win32.Roron

sorry, the lighting in this video kinda sucks. this worm does a lot of things that either I don't have the current setup to demonstrate, or just flat out didn't happen in this video. I didn't even mention it's supposed to spread to networked PCs via open shares on drives, but it does that too.

I'm not super proud of this one, but I hope you like it anyway

15 years, and not much changed. Still making great, entertaining and rather educational videos on old viruses. This is why the community loves you, Dan, you make consistent content (in sense of, content type).

[squili]

for me, a lot of the enjoyment in these videos is that it sort of acts as a portal into a world of computing that i never saw. it's so interesting seeing these old viruses and how the world of computers work around them. back at a time when viruses felt more alive, more interesting

I don't care if it's a 10 minute or 10 hour danooct1 video; if he posts it, I will watch the video!

[Onkoe]

been watching for well over a decade! i pretty much grew up on these videos - and they’re still just as entertaining now! 😄

you inspired a very young, traumatized me to try… something. anything! i started tinkering with programming and computing at a young age after seeing the cool effects of making your own programs.

i’m majoring in computer science now, so you’ve had a significant impact on me and my future.

thank you for your hard work (and time) towards making these. can’t wait to see what comes in the future!

Dan, my man, you're showing us what's left of the dawn of the internet and it's been a very long time since the dawn of the internet. You could put out one video in six months and I'd be excited to see it in the feed. None of us would be sad to see a "virus redemption" video later where you developed additional features of the virus into working again.

Dan, you can't expect every video to be ultra amazing and life changing... but people love your content for what you do, your style and your humour! I love that your videos are still basically like the old days of YouTube too. I like how they feel, huddling around a computer in a darkened room looking at malware from years gone back! It would be cool if you could get more of the activation routines running, but just do videos and things when you can. We're not going anywhere :D P.S You mentioned IRC you could probably run unrealircd easy enough to try see that in action. Looking forward to whatever you do, regardless. Hope everything's good! :) x

[hh-zrtt]

I have enjoyed your videos for the better part of decade when i was much younger, it has inspired my love for all things computing and i constantly await for new videos.

Take this a my little token of graditude for all youve done for me :D

[nicholasd]

I started watching these videos when I was 11 or 12. Now at 23 and as a grad student, I can speak to personal experience how time for hobbies gets gradually lost to life as the years go by. Thanks for still posting these videos all these years later, no matter how long they are or how long it takes for them to come out.

Always great to see you again! It’s funny you mention the whole “letting perfect be the enemy of good” thing, as it’s something I have also been trying to remind myself of lately. Perfectionism has kept me from releasing so many things over the years that now just sit rotting on a drive, all the effort wasted. For what it’s worth, I did like the video, this is a pretty interesting worm. Deleting everything in an infinite loop instead of just once is a neat idea. I’m also very interested to see you delve into the world of old antivirus products as well, should be fun! Cya next time :]

[Butterscott_NJ]

I've been watching you for almost 15 years now. You have unironically been the most consistent thing in my life.
There was one time about a year ago I dropped a tab of acid and watched your videos for 8 hours without a single interruption. I can honestly say it was one of the most peaceful experiences in my life.

3:54 "I'm not an expert, I'm just an end user" is not a sentence said by end users.

[WishMakers]

Hey Dan. I've got a special comment for you today. I've been watching these videos for somewhere between 8 and 10 years now. And next week is the last presentation in my Computer Science degree. Fucking finally. You were a major hand in my interest in cybersecurity, and while that is no longer my priority (software development actually...), analyzing these old school viruses and showcasing them has always been a light in my life and studies. I would've never been inspired to learn program analysis in the same way.

So thank you for what you do Dan - from one Danno to another.

[notreallyashark]

These videos are what sparked my interest in cybersecurity and now, 8 years later as an actual consultant, they bring back some very chill nostalgia and respark the curiosity of figuting out how something works. Much appreciated that you continue to post these Dan!

[IsaacFoster..]

It puts a smile on my face whenever I see a new upload.
You're a cool dude.

[Gaminguide]

The crazy thing about your videos are, that they still are in that old 2012 youtube style. Theres no clickbait or screaming at you in the title, its just all information about the video. I normally dont really watch such long form videos with just a dude talking, but yours can make that entertaining! Most of the stuff you show was even before my time, so seeing how viruses back then worked and you showing it is just so entertaining. So, thanks for all of those great videos, and im definitly going to continue watching then!

[picclejar]

Dan, I've been watching you since I was 12, maybe 13 and still in elementary. Now I'm in my first year of college and you still haven't changed! It's nice having something constant in life.

[lulsecs]

These videos are great! You learn quite a bit about older systems and their flaws and how we can prevent them. I've been watching this channel for years, and these never fail to amaze me! What an inspiration. Thank you for all you done sir Dan! 🤘🏻

[JosephM]

Dan the man!!! Been a while, good to see you back. Take care of yourself!

[ScarfFoxxy]

Ayoooo good to see you uploading again! Hope all is well :)

[reptahv]

I'm not an old viewer as many of the fellow conpanions here, but I can say that I really enjoy you videos a lot, no matter if the videos are too long or not as impressive as some of your most famous videos.

I discovered your channal like 3 years ago due that my computer was infected with a ransomware and was searching for information about ways of solving my problem. The way that you explain things teached me more than any tutorial that I used to solve my problem.

So thank you for these videos.
