Dan, my man, you're showing us what's left of the dawn of the internet and it's been a very long time since the dawn of the internet. You could put out one video in six months and I'd be excited to see it in the feed. None of us would be sad to see a "virus redemption" video later where you developed additional features of the virus into working again.
@jcxtra8 ай бұрын
Dan, you can't expect every video to be ultra amazing and life changing... but people love your content for what you do, your style and your humour! I love that your videos are still basically like the old days of KZbin too. I like how they feel, huddling around a computer in a darkened room looking at malware from years gone back! It would be cool if you could get more of the activation routines running, but just do videos and things when you can. We're not going anywhere :D P.S You mentioned IRC you could probably run unrealircd easy enough to try see that in action. Looking forward to whatever you do, regardless. Hope everything's good! :) x

Always great to see you again! It’s funny you mention the whole “letting perfect be the enemy of good” thing, as it’s something I have also been trying to remind myself of lately. Perfectionism has kept me from releasing so many things over the years that now just sit rotting on a drive, all the effort wasted. For what it’s worth, I did like the video, this is a pretty interesting worm. Deleting everything in an infinite loop instead of just once is a neat idea. I’m also very interested to see you delve into the world of old antivirus products as well, should be fun! Cya next time :]

Hey Dan. I've got a special comment for you today. I've been watching these videos for somewhere between 8 and 10 years now. And next week is the last presentation in my Computer Science degree. Fucking finally. You were a major hand in my interest in cybersecurity, and while that is no longer my priority (software development actually...), analyzing these old school viruses and showcasing them has always been a light in my life and studies. I would've never been inspired to learn program analysis in the same way. So thank you for what you do Dan - from one Danno to another.

Most of the stuff you show was even before my time, so seeing how viruses back then worked and you showing it is just so entertaining. So, thanks for all of those great videos, and im definitly going to continue watching then!
