Malicious Scripts

From ElectronicWar

Malicious scripts are scripts that seemingly work as they should, however they are installed on a victims computer after an attack. They often have changes to the default script that carry out a malicious action, for example redirecting a bank deposit into the attackers petty cash.

[edit] Simple Malicious Bank Script Example

lowerDeposit(getMaliciousIP(),getAmount());

This code is very simple and will simply redirect any deposits to the attacker, rather than the victims bank account. This is the code used in the malicious script drops.

[edit] Advanced Malicious Bank Script Example

float amount = getAmount();
string victim = getSourceIP();
string attacker = getMaliciousIP();
if(amount>764) {
	lowerDeposit(attacker, amount);
	message(attacker, $ + amount + " (deposit) received from infected computer: " +victim);
	message(victim,"Error 174: Connection with server was interrupted. Please try again."); //Let's hope he's stupid enough to do it again :3
}
else {
	lowerDeposit(victim, amount);
	message(attacker, victim + " just deposited " + amount);
}

This code will only redirect deposits over $764. $764 is used to make the amount seem more random, and confuse the victim, the Error 174 sent to the victim is also used for confusion, and may even trick some victims into sending more money your way!

[edit] Zombie Attack Scripts

A zombie script is an attack script with zombie(getMaliciousIP()); in the Initialize function. This allows the player that installed the script to remotely control the attack port, as if it were his or her own. However, zombies are expensive. It costs around $2000 to compile a zombie script, and $20 to attack with one (instead of the normal $10).
