I'm afraid it won't detect it anyway. Until you double click it is a compressed file.

How to identify: if you don't have file extensions enabled, do not open ones that appear with an extension, also scrs and com files are basically executable but com is old.

I got hack with this same trick three days ago it made me erase all data from my PC. Thank God I realised quickly that I was being hacked otherwise the attacker could have gone with my credentials. The attacker embedded the code in unsuspicious link under a video tutorial which I clicked and that was all it disabled everything on my computer.

[@flash_gang]

@@sysk3y-prod771I thought I had responded to this, I think my other comment got auto flagged for some reason. Obfuscation would not fix the issue of a gui popping up before you run the executable that tells you its an executable not an image.

I love these , I like to open the exe in ida pro get the token and take control over the bot/ channel it is. Noticing people use either discord or telegrams as a command and control center , the biggest mistake is hard coding api or keys in the exe

[@Klebedose95]

I always look for the extension to be not ".exe" ... but the reverse character is new to me. So now I'll always also pay attention to filenames like "[filename] exe. [fileending]" So this would also work if you send .pdf files to other people...

Instead of turning off windows defender, you could add a exclusive folder or zone where the AV Wil not scan. I know some infostealers use this method

Hey what happen if user is offline and then open the file and deleted in offline mode by finding nothing on file Can still we have access

[@shadowsalah1484]

the backdoor wouldn't be activated at that moment since the file couldn't establish a connection to the attacker's server or execute any malicious code while offline.but once the friend goes back online, if the backdoored image contains executable code or a script that initiates a connection to the attacker's server, the backdoor could potentially execute its malicious payload.

You're not supposed to show everything in video, you shouldn't be showing malicious code on the screen and there shouldn't be a real victim 🚶 there's a grey area in the education section and it's pretty easy to cross over it 🚶 btw you can still send a takeout request to google for that channel even if it's terminated and you'll get permission to download your videos
