Trying to create some Spy Code

[MeTh0Dz|Reb0rn]

You can figure out the location of the PE Header using file mapping...

Well, I for one think you should get off the batch files and venture off into far more advanced things. But I am not the one to decide that. Secondly, I hope this is not an attempt to hack a friends computer with a DOS hack.. Because that is just lame.

You should try making it a read only. So they can only view it not do anything else. Then make two batch files. One to run the movie then when the movie or batch file gets close to the end have it run the second batch file that deletes all three "The 2 batch files and the movie from the computer"

Hope this helps

Hm... don't know what happened to my last response, as I could've sworn I wrote this up already... anyways, you can *not* alter a CD-RW using only code unless you re-burn the information somehow. It sounds like a dynamic medium, such as a flash drive, is the best way to go.

Midterms are eating my kidneys right now, so the tutorial will likely be a while in coming...

Donovan:
1.) I know more advanced code would work better, but I'm also working within the limitations of what I am capable of doing at this point in time. It would take me a while to learn to do C - likely the best language to efficiently do something like this with - so I'm kind of trying to find a middle-ground compromise working mostly with what I know and a bit of what I don't so I can learn.

2.) DOS hack? Nah... this is an attempt to create an auto-executing package that can include whatever media you want with it (e.g. video) that will then self-corrupt/delete once the media has finished.

As to your suggestion:

A.) Wouldn't I be able to include both of those actions in the same batch file?
B.) If I make it read-only, wouldn't that restrict their privileges regarding the file when it comes time to commanding it to delete itself?
C.) Didn't you just recommend I get away from batch files?

haha Well I was only trying to help. But yea I sounded a bit mean when I typed that first post. The reason I said to move on to more advanced code is because I am not sure if any basic languages will do advanced things like this. I am also not that advanced I am learning python at the moment. Then I am going into C++ Anyway I hope you find what you are looking for soon. Good Luck!

No worries... I'm at the python level too - hence the initial posting in this thread - so happy trails on your journey!
