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:
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...Code:
...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.Code:
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:Code:
Now we want this to auto submit, to do this we will use javascript.Code:
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
Code:LOLWOWOWORM
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.
