hiding exe file as image

[Tom Rahav]

Dear all,

Is there any way (must be I guess...) to hide an exe file in a picture, so
when you open the picture the exe file runs automaticall?
Using .NET?

Thanks!
Tom.

I should hope not - if there was a way, it ought to be removed. It's a
security risk.

I know it exist, because I've seen it works in one application called
Win-Spy. I wonder how they do it...

Even if others have managed to do it, that doesn't mean it's a good
idea for you to do it. Furthermore, I hope it will be protected against
with updates.

If you want to run something on someone's computer, you should get
their permission first - e.g. ask them to double-click on an exe file,
or whatever. Anything else is immoral, IMO.

What possible use could this have other than a virus/malware?

Knowledge... not everything must be practical. Sometimes challenge and pure
knowledge may bring the same satisfaction and new BMW. Think about it...

But some knowledge has such an enormous potential to be put to evil
use that the dissemination of such information must be done with
discretion.

Are you trying to claim that *was* your motive?

What would your respond be to someone who asked you the best way to
write a virus? Or commit fraud?

There are plenty of interesting things to investigate which *aren't*
immoral.
