| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

 Are there other kinds of virus apart from the executable ones?
Are all viruses some executable program that requires you to run some sort of program to activate it(the virus)? If I don't run anything then will there be any chance of a virus activating? Or is it just trojans and the like that operate like that?
Also the other day my anti-virus thing alerted me to a infected html document. How that does work?
-I will look on Google too to save myself from being flamed but any insight you can contribute would be much appreciated.

Re: Are there other kinds of virus apart from the executable ones?
Unless something on your computer executes code, it can't do anything to your computer.
Of course, you don't have to execute it yourself - Outlook Express has a tendency to execute attachments, for example.
The infected html probably had Javascript or something embedded in it that would screw around with your browser somehow.

So if i don't execute any progs I get off the net or whatever then I don't need to worry about anything right?
