Create a worm that will infect the official forums

[izzywizzybuzy]

Hello there people of MMOwned,

I am going to share with you how to create a worm that will infect the official wow forums and spread exponentially, eventually resulting in the forums having to be shut down.
Although there have been scripts created that post threads onto the forums (often containing links to keyloggers), a worm of this magnitude has never ever been done.

WARNING: This WILL result in complete and utter CHAOS!

This is currently coded for the european forums.

I would like to aim this thread more at people that have a knowledge of html/php/javascript since if you don't know these this will be difficult to understand and I do not have the time to go over every little detail.

Also just to state, I have not tested this and don't intend to, although this script may not work in this form it will 100% work with minimal tweaking!

Part 1: How it works

Ok, first of all here is the HTML for the form to post a thread, with all visual elements removed, in its most basic form:

Just about sums it up tbh: http://www.linktoyoursite.com/linktothescript.html
				

This problem with this that allows us to create a worm is simple, it does not have any kind of verification that you are who yo usay you are...

...for example if it had a simple:

Containing your userid, this would be impossible to do since the worm would not be able to determine your user id unless there are other security flaws in the site.

Part 2: Lets make it

There are many different realm forums, each with their own ID ranging between 1073-1165.
For maximum effect we want the worm to spread accross all of these, but there is a cooldown on the speed at which a user can post so we can only gunatee a post in one of these at a time.
We are going to use PHP to generate a random number between this range and post the thread into the forum of the realm with that ID.

The script is:

Mix it around with the form a bit and we end up with something that looks like this:

Just about sums it up tbh: http://www.linktoyoursite.com/linktothescript.html
				

Now we want this to auto submit, to do this we will use javascript.
I do not claim to be any good at javascript so to be honest I am looking up how to do this on the net, so the code is likely to be messy but will work so who cares!

Part 3: The final code in all its glory

Part 4: How to use it

Upload this script to a webhost that supports PHP, make sure the thread posted links back to the script and voila.
You could also include the scrit using a simple IFRAME meaning you could link to an actual site you own and the script would run meaning you could gain from the traffic!

What will happen is: You create a thread that contains a link to the worm, a user clicks the link which makes them run the script resulting in them posting a new thread with a link to the worm in a random realms forum, more people click the link that they just posted...and so on!

Part 5: Why am I posting this

Firstly I have no use for this, I just thought it up and decided I would rather share it than use it myslf.
What could you gain from this? Well a gold selling site for example could use it to drive rediculous amounts of targetted traffic to their site.

And now its gonne be fixed

[izzywizzybuzy]

For some reason this site is automatically removing parts of my code, the random number is held in a variable and echoed into the form.

With knowledge you will be able to fill the gaps that have been removed.

Sorry there is nothing i can do about this, it must be a security measure for this site.

I doubt that the gold selling sites are going to search through code that I for one wold encrypt to all hell before releasing it on a gold selling site.

If this is actually real, this shouldn't be posted to the public, should be moved to the contrib forums and such. Last thing we need is Blizz fixing all of this crap.

[Hasbro]

lol, can you code this for the US forums? Oh boy - Oh boy, I could have fun with this then =D

I will probably not use this, but its a really nice worm, I guess. + rep for not contribution useless

[Viter]

If this works MOVE TO ELITE / CONTRIBUTOR SECTION

[imtel]

Lol this is some wackyness!!

[Dragonshadow]

My god this is epicness.

Evil, but epicness.

[0-0-7]

That is Epic...

[Ergoim]

Simpsons is on tv. Screw that, I'm going to analyze THIS instead. Awesome. +rep

[[Soul Eater]]

It's only over when the fat ladie sings...

anyhow, anyone even succeeded in doing this? And it seems that some parts are gone couldn't you add them with a space between it? Or does it automatically removes all of the text.

[Hasbro]

I'M POSTING IN AN EPIC THREAD ONCE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WITH +REP <3

[Viter]

Move this!
Guys report this thread and write: Move to contributor section
