You do realize that we are creating a potential how do take down bullshido users thread?

[Uncle Skippy]

It keeps calling me a turd bucket and then promptly steals my breakfast.

If you're still worried, just use an anti-virus scanner, viruses can't affect you when inside rars.

Yes. Yes they can but you already know that. Even interpreters can be hooked and manipulated to make it seem like they run correctly when in reality they do their malicious business behind the scenes.

I don't see where he showed a video of _ing __un working.

Brain asplodage avoided.

Eh how? Or are you ironically playing the paranoia nerd and I'm just not getting it.

[Sri Hanuman]

Why no, Sir... there are no paranoid nerds here.
No Sir. None at all.



Pssssssssssssst, ask him for the time.

If you had PERL for windows preinstalled and the script in the RAR ran using YOUR installation, the only malicious thing would be what was contained in the script.

BUT, since the RAR above includes its own PERL interpretor/compiler/whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-it, you now need to worry about the contents of the script AND whether or not the PERL executable and ALL of the associated files which are loaded at runtime are comprimised and malicious.

Of course, if you don't download, unpack and run the script, you won't be at risk.

I'm just pointing out the horrendous misstatement of the OP.

[Sri Hanuman]

Yes, but do you have the time?

[Uncle Skippy]

lolhate,

If you are serious about writing something to help out with exercising, put it up on a web site (PERL via CGI) or write it in a Java applet. The script you wrote looks fine, but the fact that it includes a copy of PERL sets off red flags :-/

Stand-alone executable code is just too risky for most people to try.

[Uncle Skippy]

Yes, but do you have the time?

I do.

Better idea, design something for WII that involves boxing Ralph Severe or Bryce Dallas. If any round goes past 10 seconds, they gas out and die.
