🔒 malware

[robust aspen]

i found this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtMMjXOlRQc
id guess this means malware is legal to make to some extent? if yes to what extent? my friends want to make some ransomeware and if its legal i want to show them that i can do that too

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

its not legal you have to make declaration between who is making malware and with whom you are testing it, if you want to go legal way

[robust aspen]

ok so if i do tell my friends it is and send them thats ok?

[vague wigeon]

yes if you both consent on doing such activities then there is no issue but remember that it should harm any other person outside the agreement

[vague wigeon]

but you have to ask them and if they agree only then send

[robust aspen]

only if my friend sends it
also all i want to do is encrypt files and send a key to decrypt

[vague wigeon]

use cryptography module but i still say that first take permission from the person to install such malware before proceeding

[robust aspen]

im actually almost done i was just thinking is it legal to own or i should delete it

[rapid zephyr]

the problem with that is

[vague wigeon]

if you are curious then try using it on virtual machine

[rapid zephyr]

we dont know ur actual intentions

u could be lying

or rather someone else in this server who is a lurker may take ur code

and use it maliciously

so thats why we dont provide help on such a topic

!rule 5 btw
