Question to administrators
#5
While I encourage all types of code to be written and studied I would caution anyone on posting such a piece of code. You could, hypothetically, be held responsible for any damage a script-kiddy may inflict on a system(s) using your code, modified or not.

The furthest I have ever taken it, and then I even took pause to consider my actions, was sharing "joke" style programs that would do things like simulate the command prompt and give silly responses to commands or take over the GUI for a short period of time pasting bullet holes on the screen wherever the user clicked. Even something like this may prompt a user to reset their system thinking it has been infected causing them to lose unsaved work and hence, inflicting damage.

It's a slippery slope in my opinion. Tread lightly.
