InfectUs
A proof of concept that showed how easily anyone could build a virus out of Windows' own tools: tick what you want to happen, and InfectUs writes the batch files.
ERROR 404: HOST OFFLINE. THIS PROJECT IS ARCHIVED, SO THERE IS NO LIVE LINK.
InfectUs created a series of batch files after you picked the options and outcome you wanted: disable Control Panel, Shutdown, Regedit, right-click on the desktop, Norton and the Windows Firewall; create a hidden admin user; turn on Remote Desktop, a Netcat listener or Wget to pull down a file; send a NetSend message; or rename the Start button, Run and My Computer to "Pwned". Then you used WinRAR to wrap them into a self-extracting file that looked like any other installer.
It was for education and proof of concept: it showed just how easy it is for literally anyone to make a virus or hack tool with nothing but legal tools that are already on the computer. It shipped from infectingus.com and was the subject of Cracked Productions' fifth episode.

C:\ZYAGA> DIR /FEATURES 機能
[01]
Pick what happens
Checkboxes for what the file should do when it runs, from disabling Regedit and the firewall to a hidden admin user, a Netcat listener on port 1337, and a Start button that says Pwned.
[02]
It writes the batch files
Create InfectUs turns the choices into a folder of batch files.
[03]
Wrap it in an installer
WinRAR packs the batch files into a self-extracting archive set to run them silently.
[04]
Looks like any setup
On the other machine it asks to install a DVD converter, and the batch files run behind it.
