TrollOS - Version 2.0 released! New features!

So this is just a program that looks like a shell and displays a message after a command?

You may be able to detect the CraftOS version from the available functions. Also, is there a nice way to exit the program? I know that rebooting via ctrl-r will work.

It's literally just os.version(). Gives you the exact string that the shell program uses.

suggestion: specific program that changes every time you turn it on, which allows you to exit the program.

I haven't really had a good look at it yet,so sorry if I'm wrong,but doesn't this count as a "malicious" program? I thought those weren't allowed.

Yep, I might add some more features in the feature. Like, if they type edit on a file name and save it, it automatically deletes it. Or that "ls" or "dir" doesn't show any files.

No, there is no way out of it. (you could place a floppy disk next to it)

Wow, realized that now…. should do that.

To exit the "OS" completely?

Umm, it might be…

While I generally don't approve of malicious programs, I do like being a hypocrite!

Everyone wrote something malicious at least once. Its about what you do with that stuff that matters.

Yeah, but this trumps something like

shell.run("rm *")
while true do
	print("U GOT REKT")
	sleep(0)
end

There is Grey hat there is Black hat and then there is script kiddie level. This is last one.

What about white hats?

Well white hat stuff is not malicious by definition :D/>

Sure. It's just the way you phrased it, enumerating all but the white hats, I thought you were denying their existance or whatever.

Anyway.

I'd really like to troll more people with ComputerCraft but I feel like the mod only allows for script kiddie level malicious programs.
All you can do to troll someone can easily be undone. Either that or I'm running out of imagination. I mean, I'd like to do something
more than deleting everything or overwriting a startup file with a malicious program. I'd like to write a virus which, when run, injects
malicious code into another program, like a real virus. The thing is since Lua is not a precompiled language, your programs' source
code is always human-readable, making it impossible to hide viruses.

My 'undel' virus seems to be the only virus I can think of that hides itself near-perfectly. But yeah, I saw a virus in Kreme Land that removed all the shell aliases. It was easily dealt with.

This looks cool! I wish I had friends who played with this mod, so I could use it on them.

I hope this is ok, but I simplified your code and added a new feature :)/> P.S. I just checked out your code, and made a TrollOS from scratch in Sublime. Also, it adds in a exit pass(the new feature), where a specific phrase deletes troll os and unlocks CraftOS.

Thank you! I might use some of your code in a future version. I finally got back the interest of playing with ComputerCraft (after months of nothing) and I will work on a new version.

This is not supposed to be a virus, more like a prank (troll) to your friends.

I'm proud to say that Version 2.0 is soon done.

Some new features:
- Auto updating. TrollOS automatically updates on startup if a new update is available.
- Secret exit code (as suggested).
- Easy to use installer.

Hopefully, this will be released today. (Swedish time)

Hi everybody!

Version 2.0 has now been released, you can download it via:

pastebin get dPqkFjKq install

You can find the new features in the topic itself!

That should work, I don't really know why that happens tbh.

I looked at your update server, and I saw that it was offline. https://polygonsmp.s...S/LatestVersion
Maybe it got suspended or something, or like my website does every once in a while. If i'm inactive for awhile. :(/>
Another way to figure out the site is down besides visiting it, is pinging it in command prompt with ping https://polygonsmp.s...S/LatestVersion

Yes, that website is dead. Still own the domain, but it's on another host. I'll try find the files on my old Raspberry Pi and move them over to my new VPS. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hello, Hello.

The server should be back up. It had been down for months without me noticing.

It's on a France vps atm, but I would like to move it to my German vps or my vps from Netherlands. Will probably roll out a update soon!

Thanks.
