malware-m2-2026

Source code for a "malware" made for the Malware class of the Cybersecurity Masters degree in Nancy (FST) This code, while featuring malware-like behaviour, is not malicious and safe to execute. It is made to compile with Visual Studio on Windows XP.

This program has the following behaviour:

• If the argument (argv[1]) is V&7mH@t!, it writes "GAGNE!" (WIN!) on the standard output
• If the argument is any other string of 8 or less characters, it writes it back on the standard output
• Otherwise, the behaviour is undefined (Intriguing, isn't it?)

To load the projet in VS, open the "Malware.sln" project file.
