Running a crazy computer virus (Sulfoxide.exe) & attempting to repair it!

FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING before watching this video (I do give warnings during the video). If you are affected by those, do NOT watch the virus executed chapter (You can listen to it if you want). I do give future warnings after that if there are any flashing lights, which those lights only last like a few seconds.
I take a look at an interesting\crazy computer virus called Sulfoxide.exe. It's a virus made by wipet, and is not to be used maliciously. We are not responsible for any damages made from running this malware. DO NOT run this on a main system, use a spare PC with nothing important on it or a VM if you are going to test it! I only ran this on one of my many machines with a different HDD in it.
I recently saw videos on this virus and got interested in it, and decided to try it out on actual hardware and attempt to repair the damages caused by it. I have yet to see any videos of people repairing it, and wanted to attempt it for a video. I also gave a live reaction of running the malware.
Anyways what did you think of this virus? Feel free to leave a comment on it below! I may not be replying to every comment on my videos, but I do read all of them. Anyways thanks for watching, and more videos coming soon!

Good you captured it in a more original environment and managed to get it to work without crashing! This is a really fascinating trojan, the sound you hear is actually the interrupts over the audio chip and when you hear it almost sweeping sirens, that's actually it wiping your HDD. Super cool!

[@galaktormaster6770]

Actually no, the sound is just generated using bytebeat which create sounds from the constantly increasing variable 't'

[@xXBeefyDjXx]

@@galaktormaster6770 There's multiple ways to do it, but yeah sounds plausible

[@emrilbennett8704]

Either way, it’s really cool!

[@Christian17390]

It's just so fascinating how someone can create something so destructive. What really got me was the point where you actually were able to restore your Win7 Installation because I thought it destroyed the partition for good. Nonetheless, it was a very good video! Pls keep it up! 💯 👍

[@lodewijklangeweg742]

Regularly saving a system backup on an external drive to use in an emergency has saved me days of work to get my laptop working normally again many times. Before I knew about that I would reformat and have to start all over again from factory state...

[@JuliasTechSpot]

Yeah, system images can be nice. I used to use them but stopped. I don't reinstall my system as often anymore.

[@NukePC_]

For the audio recording you could have hooked up a aux cable to the headphone jack on the pc and hooked the other end to your main computers line in port and recorded it like that

[@undefinedcode0]

Hello! I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on making a file server like yours! I always wanted that, But I don't know how to set it up.

[@Alloyd031]

The fact that it crashed is Sulfoxide makes itself as a critical system process

[@JuliasTechSpot]

Yep

Awesome video and virus!

Imagine if the virus would turn on WiFi...

[@JuliasTechSpot]

That would be bad

[@theskullemoji]

Ouf

[@joieanthonyraquinio617]

​@@JuliasTechSpotit's a trojan also I'm creating my own trojan with payloads that run on specific dates (Also runs on Windows XP!) just requires vcredist_x86 2017 (not 2015-2019. yeah.) for Windows XP and any redist on architecture x86 on later versions

[@xenonorsomething]

Sulfoxide doesn't spread through WiFi, so you would be fine edit: nvm I forgot you talked about network shares in the video

[@rammajammataylor]

I see you’re a night owl 🦉 lol great video that’s some pretty heavy stuff I have to admit.. I have never seen such. Imagine putting this on someone’s computer who you don’t like. Hehe.

[@justicetubes]

good vid i wish it was more popular

[@theendingplanessb2]

The Malware has been settled repaired in flies virus & threats

[@gavinff]

IMO the only thing that can save that computer is Linux or reinstall of Windows but you might have tried that already

Never heard of this virus excited to see it

[@JuliasTechSpot]

Yea it's interesting!

[@torchedegg]

@@JuliasTechSpot it isnt a virus as it doesnt replicate itself onto other computers on the network, could you correct that?

[@hugomilson7344]

@@torchedegg it’s usually malware like I love you and Melisa or the majority of viruses designed to be malicious and pushed to you via fake downloaders or other sketchy stuff on the internet

@@torchedegg not all viruses spread to other systems

@@LemoncloudGT then it isnt considered a virus. do your research

What if, hear me out!! you play a game and launch Sulfoxide and see what happens?!

[@sandrocks8816]

Some day I will run it and attempt to repair it better if possible on a virtualbox of virtual machine

[@coldsalt6678]

Wipet going famous

[@chsimanpizza805]

But you can enable safe mode version of sulfoxide

[@sandrocks8816]

I ran it on a VM once but I don't remember but I always ran MEMZ Trojan on a vm

[@G8_User]

wipet tried to repair that virus on XP but it does not work

[@DankyMankey]

Would running sfc /scannow fix it more?

[@wheatley998]

That command only exist on Windows 10 but sulfoxide can't run on Windows 10

[@ian-qo8fq]

@@wheatley998 someone did get it to run on windows 10 but i think it was with a newer version of the virus

[@powershellaxp64]

1. SFC /scannow exists on Windows 7 too 2. It would depend on whether SxS is corrupted and how much

[@DankyMankey]

@@wheatley998 sfc /scannow has existed since Windows 98.

[@KPoWasTaken]

Hey, I've seen this virus before! It's crazy! Let me guess you watched Enderman's video or Wipet's video? Oh nvm Wipet's video is in the description

[@JuliasTechSpot]

I watched both lol

[@KPoWasTaken]

​@@JuliasTechSpot the "repair" was really interesting, it was very interesting seeing all the corruption

[@JuliasTechSpot]

Yeah I agree

[@someone4229]

[@dalkskkskk]

odd. i thought sulfoxide destroyed every file it could found in all disks connected

[@user-df5uw5np5d]

the fastest payload I ever seen

[@JuliasTechSpot]

Yea ikr

[@technologytime69]

It doesn't do anything on the network

[@gunawan2940]

omg, i should make this video about this virus sometimes, how didn't i think about that. if my video got only 7 views then idk what to do :(

[@eggrobo]

Video idea: Running Sulfoxide.exe in linux (Using wine)

[@JuliasTechSpot]

That would be interesting to test

[@danewilson7883]

Impossible from the runtimes

[@sandrocks8816]

I think you can try running sfc scan that can fix corruption I can fix almost kind of any corruption you just go to command prompt and type sfc /scannow

[@XotakFR]

That's not how it works. It actually wiped the hard-drive, so no more windows and command prompt. And to fix the MBR, you will need to use an installation disk or reinstall windows completely

[@sandrocks8816]

@@XotakFR sorry I didn't know I'm better at fixing MEMZ

[@XotakFR]

@@sandrocks8816 it's not a problem. On this one nothing is really broken, only the MBR is overwritten

Your lucky that u have a computer to do this stuff I only own 1 computer and it’s my main

[@videocommenter]

If your computer is powerful enough, you can use software like VirtualBox so that you have a Virtual Machine you can do such things on.

[@danewilson7883]

@@videocommenter I do that but it’s not the same as having my own computer to mess with

Maybe the programs that die is the one responsible for destroying the computer but stop because there isnt any resources that it can use i guessing
