I have started adding flagged words to the signature of my e-mails, as a form of protest of the topical NSA scandal. I would also like to start attaching small viruses, encrypted with passwords like "Password1" and "correct horse battery staple" so that the recipients don't get infected (because it's encrypted) but any snoops that steal the e-mail and attempt to decrypt the attachment will 1) definitely be able to decrypt it, and 2) will get a nasty surprise. (I also have in my signature an warning/alert to the e-mail recipients NOT to attempt to decrypt the attachment, because it's a virus.)

Does anybody have some torrents or other links to something best suited for this purpose.

Are you 12? You do realize that for malware to be effective without an exploit in the OS, the receiving party has to knowingly and intentionally run it.

What sort of OS exploit will guess the password to a file, decrypt it, and run it? I'm quite interested.

Now I am thinking - what if the whole numbers station mystery was simply a cheap way of diverting enemy's resources away from where they would be useful? Just a random stream of numbers, a distraction. Certainly some cryptanalysis effort was spent on attempt to break them, and certainly this same effort was not spent on something else.

There is a recent movie called "The Number Station".

I don't think these are cheap. And it's very possible they are indeed used the way every one thinks they are used, as one way encrypted communications channel, using one time pads. Easy to use. Uncrackable. Meaningless to everyone else.

Hahahah, OPs post reminded me of the virus in the novel 'Digital Fortress' by Dan Brown. Keep the man busy decrypting a virus file instead of his actual information.

As a kid, I used to spend time listening to short-wave numbers stations, recording it on the cassette tapes, then naively writing it down, and running a C-64 code to analyze frequencies of groups of digits. Fun for kids. That was pretty much the peak of my crypto career.
Heh.. Not to far from this; As a college student in the US, I had some entertainment wasting Soviet military resources by sending pulsed shortwave signals on the same frequency the 'Russian Woodpecker' (over the horizon radar) was running.  Within a minute they would have to change frequencies.  A student with ~$100 worth of outdated vacuum tube equipment and 150' of wire antenna could chase a secret military project around the shortwave band for fun.

I'm sure they would have to run the .exe.  Otherwise you could hide your secret message inside of a program that prints it out.  They probably have some sort of automated sandbox executable analyzer.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Don't use viruses, just take a "Fuck you NSA" picture, zip it and encrypt password with several multiple encryption algorithms, then send file and encrypted password via mail with subject Surprise 2013 and write all those random encryption algorithms name randomly.

Even better, embed a simple message steganographically, with a weak password, in every image you share with others.

Send a image back and front, each time changing a few pixels prior to re-sending. Every now and then add a comment like "that won't work" or "I didn't think of that" or "hope nobody ever breaks our code" or "too funny, dude".

Well it's more a form of protest, and also I'm assuming a lot of the process might be automated.  I don't really expect them to fall for it though, it's more a "fuck you" than anything else.

You might as well run to the woods and scream "fuck you".

Your are on the good track, though. They seem to be in the business of mass surveilance, not national security. The process is largely automated, and as such relies on a fixed menu of exploitable standards. The more people start broadcasting random data and using ad hoc, home-brewed crypto and steganography, the more human intervention and judgement will be required on the Big Brother side. That is their only potentially limited resource, and stretching it thin might finally force them to start dealing with the national security issues at the expense of mass surveilance. We should make it part of the etiquette to include random and random-looking bits in all our communication.

@b!z, yes that's the one I'm talking about. It doesn't work except for really badly implemented homebrew unzippers. I actually made one from a much smaller file, like 100 MB or something. The unzippers I all tried still wouldn't unzip them.

From the book of old school:  Create a HUGE file that just consists of one character repeated over and over (think /dev/zero piped into a 100G file).  It will compress down to a few bytes when zipped, but any system expanding/decrypting it will be consuming a lot of resources.

You just described the zip bomb, and most modern extractors can easily detect this and not continue.

The updated method is to zip one of these giant babies, then to copy them multiple times to another zip file, then to copy those multiple times to another zip file, and you nest them very deep for a combined total size exceeding most hard drive capacities.

But, like I said, most modern archivers and extractors will detect this.

it is not 1993 so zip bombs are useless, along with 'viruses'.

Hm... Is there any software to generate "multiple-outcome" encrypted text or other documents? It would have multiple hashes to "solve," but only one would be legitimate.

For example passw0rd would give:
Hey, there. I lost your most recent pubkey. Would you mind sending it over, again?

while a3nomalym@@kZer39jooL would give:
Hey, there. Ready to bomb X embassy in PleaseDon'tRaidMyHouse-istan?

Would be similar to Truecrypt's ability to give "fake" information with certain passwords. This could be useful as an added layer in case a PGP privkey is compromised, for example. I'd guess the initial password key(chain) would have to be given in a very private manner, like in a face-to-face kind of way, then entered with a randomly-scrambling virtual keyboard offline.

A simple XOR scheme would do the trick. I've seen the software somewhere. What it does is it can generate the required password to decrypt the desired plaintext. The password would be as long as the message. This is essentially similar to a one time pad.

The reality is that nothing mentioned here would do what the OP wants..

open a text document and add this

Code:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

save the file with the extension .exe

This is not a malicious file but should trigger any antivirus as being malicious. "The file is a legitimate DOS program, and produces sensible results when run (it prints the message "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!")."

It won't work. It's not like it's their first infected file.

If you put this string in a file and rename it to exe it will be detected as a virus by all AV:
Code:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

ok I encrypted some zip bombs, some rick astley pics, some random data, and just fired off an e-mail to Virus Share asking for an invite... if I get it, then the fun begins!....

What reason did you put in for your access request?
Probably "i want to troll the NSA". VXShare is mostly full of crap, nothing useful anyways :-)

I used to keep a "virus zoo". They were all floppies locked up in a cage. I got a couple now from my office but every anti-virus can easily tag it. Pretty sure I can make some neato malware custom made trojan now that instantly nukes your drive (assuming it's windows) when executed.

I don't think this will work though, because what will happen is they will store the email and the files, but never open them or run the executables.

PS: Your plan is flawed because the NSA is not stupid enough to run potential malware in an unprotected environment, especially after you've written "there is malware attached". Also, malware is illegal, if you're doing illegal things.

Well it's more a form of protest, and also I'm assuming a lot of the process might be automated.  I don't really expect them to fall for it though, it's more a "fuck you" than anything else.  Also, I think they'd have an interesting time trying to show to a court that me sending an encrypted attachment to a MY friends via MY e-mail account counts as "doing something malicious" with malware.

I have started adding flagged words to the signature of my e-mails, as a form of protest of the topical NSA scandal. I would also like to start attaching small viruses, encrypted with passwords like "Password1" and "correct horse battery staple" so that the recipients don't get infected (because it's encrypted) but any snoops that steal the e-mail and attempt to decrypt the attachment will 1) definitely be able to decrypt it, and 2) will get a nasty surprise. (I also have in my signature an warning/alert to the e-mail recipients NOT to attempt to decrypt the attachment, because it's a virus.)

Does anybody have some torrents or other links to something best suited for this purpose.
