Custom Trojan Creation Tool Sold Online

Finch writes "Net Security.org is reporting on the surprisingly sophisticated 'virus in a can' software called Pinch. Pinch is a tool sold on several online forums and designed to create Trojans. It allows attackers to specify the data that Trojans steal. One of the interface tabs, PWD, allows malicious users to select the type of password to be stolen by the Trojan: from email passwords to passwords kept by the system tools. It is possible to order the Trojan to encrypt this data when sending it, so that nobody else can read it. 'Pinch also lets users carry out other actions: turn infected computers into zombie computers, pack Trojans to make detection more difficult, and kill certain system processes, particularly those of security solutions.'"

Yes, but does it run on Linux?

That sounds like fun

[Anonymous Crowhead]

How much is it and where can I buy it? For, uh, research purposes.

I'm not scared...

If anybody tries to install a trojan on my computer, I'll hit them back.

With Winnuke95.

Ah, that is unless you've followed the instructions from this oldie but goodie:

--

Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 3 to 6 weeks you will have received well over 50,000 inches of penis, all yours. This program has remained successful because of the inadequacy and vanity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

Welcome to the world of Mail Order Penis Enlargement! This little business is a little different than most cosmetic surgery. Your product is not solid (sic) and tangible, but rather a service. You are in the business of extending penii. Many small of endowment are happy to pay big bucks for this service.

(The money made from the penis enlargement is secondary to the income which is made from people like yourself requesting that they be included in that list.)
# Immediately cut off your penis at the base.
# Cut off the head of your penis, and pack it in ice.
# Take the remaining midsection of your penis, and cut it into 5 pieces of equal length.
# Immediately mail each piece to the first 5 names listed below starting at number 1 through number 5. Send penis only please (total investment your penis). Enclose a note with each piece stating: "Please add my name to your mailing list." (This is a legitimate service that you are requesting and you are paying your penis for this service).
# Remove the name that appears number 1 on the list. Move the other 9 names up one position. (Number 2 will become number 1 and number 3 will become number 2, etc.) Place your name, address and zip code in the number 10 position.
# Post the new letter with your name in the number 10 position into 10 (Ten) separate bulletin boards in the message base or to the file section, call the file, MAKE.PENIS.FAST.
# Within 60 days you will receive over 50,000 inches of PENIS. Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it again and again whenever you need penis enlargement. As soon as you mail out these letters you are automatically in the mail order business and people are sending you their penis to be placed on your mailing list. This list can then be rented to a reconstructive cosmetic surgeon that can be found in the Yellow Pages for additional income on a regular basis. The list will become more valuable as it grows in size. This is a service. This is perfectly legal. If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws.

NOTE: Make sure you retain EVERY Name and Address sent to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes they send you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a service and should the AMA, FDA, or some other Government Agency question you, you can provide them with this proof!

Remember as each post is downloaded and the instructions carefully followed, five members will be reimbursed for their participation as a Penis Enlarger with one inch of penis each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the number five position you will be receiving thousands of inches in penis.

Dear Friend,

My name is Daniel J. Karnes. In September 1988 my life was repressed and the bible thumpers were hounding me like you wouldn't believe. I

well you're obviously not the intended market

[JeanBaptiste]

anyone who would use one of these would likely download a pirated version.

Re:well you're obviously not the intended market

[morari]

Which is, itself, a Trojan...

Re:well you're obviously not the intended market

[X0563511]

Please stand by as space-time folds in upon itself.

Re:well you're obviously not the intended market

[TeknoHog]

Or as a Trojan unfolds upon my, you know.

Yeah, Sub7 was great. I thought the most entertaining feature was being able to quickly and easily set the user's desktop wallpaper image. It didn't take long to sniff just enough of the Sub7 protocol to be able to develop a tool that would a) scan huge swath of netspace for Sub7 b) login c) download a .jpg d) set wallpaper. A lot of people back in the late 90s woke up to find that overnight, their wallpaper had changed to a photo involving a cucumber and a very hairy receptacle.

Being able to pop custom modals was pretty fun, too. "ERROR: Insert penis into CD-ROM drive to continue operation! [OK]," followed by the CD tray immediately ejecting itself, probably freaked a few people out.

Oh, to be young again, those were the days...!

Aww yeah! Custom Trojan Creation Tool! Giggety!

[Greyfox]

I'm going to design mine with the ribs on the inside! For my pleasure! Aww yeah!

Re:Nothing New

[misleb]

Ahh, Virus Creation Lab. What memories. Brings me back to the days when viruses were pleasure, not business.

I'd like to see the EULA

[NotQuiteReal]

Does anyone have a copy of the EULA for that software?

Re:I'd like to see the EULA

[CautionaryX]

EULA

By agreeing to the purchase and install of Trojan-o-Matic, hereby called the 'Software', you agree to host 'x' amount of porn or phishing sites. The amount is determined by the Software according to its use and the creator of the software. At any time, you submit your computer to be a host server for the Software Creator's Nigerian email server. That is all.... oh, and your bank account is empty.

Re:I'd like to see the EULA

[Havenwar]

EULA, Pinch, 2.60
I reserve the right to go ballistic on your ass if you rip me off. (But feel free to redistribute if you include your custom trojan in the file.)

EULA - most other software
[four to six pages of nonsense much of it in all caps, mainly stating the exact same as above with the exclusion of the parenthesis but adding a page or two basically saying "I can also castrate you with a dull wooden spoon if you do something I would rather you pay me extra to get done."]

slashvertisment?

[muszek]

it's the first slashvertisment that makes you search for the shop yourself...

Re:nothing special

[UncleTogie]

I'm a trojan author...
Pardon my asking, but isn't admitting to that rather like stuffing bloody meat down your shorts and swimming with sharks?
