Presenting, The Duo 3 Virus!

Short and Simple!

Remotely detonated computer virus, capable of taking down an entire network from one system. The server is not required, just a single system anywhere in the network. Router connections are also vulnerable targtes, resulting in possible mass industry computer failure.
Un-detectable by even the most comprehensive virus scanners, the virus fits into the system hardware and matches itself as a working dummie,in-visable to the user, of a key file. It betters itself in a constant battle with the true file, untill the true file is inferior and is thusly detected as an un-nescessery file by any virus checke and is deleted, leaving the virus. Then it simply over-rides the system, blacks it out, wipes and destroys the hard-disk and fries the motherboard.

Fun.

Who wants to start the bidding?

We're interested, but proof that it actually works would be nice.

We will host a demonstration soon, when there is more interest. But trust me, it works.

We're listening.

The Ineffable Empire bids 300 million.

DEMONSTATION


Three men enter a room full of computers, they pass through it into the next room which contains a single server unit. NOT ATTACTHED TO A SERVER.
One man loads his weapon as another opens a briefcase and sits, he inserts a small cable, leading to a small black box into the USB port on the front of the machine. A loading line zips green bricks across the screen.
A grey windows message pops up;
[code:1:d1a14d6a62]Hardware loaded Succesfully. Operate now?
____ ___
| Yes | | No |
------- ------
[/code:1:d1a14d6a62]
The man moves the mouse to the Yes button and clicks. A second box appears, this time black and certainly not Windows.
[code:1:d1a14d6a62]Please Enter Target IP
________________
|_______________|[/code:1:d1a14d6a62]

The computer man takes out a piece of paper and enters a number from it. Then he hits OK.

A final Box Appears;

[code:1:d1a14d6a62]Are You Sure?
___ ___
|Yes| |No |
---- -----
[/code:1:d1a14d6a62]

Yes
The laoding line appears again and then dissapears.

Done Says the man as he stands, watching the units in the adjacent room blacking out one by one, then listening to the frazzling of computer circuitry.

Enough Proof Says the man, looking at the audience.

ASW will be paying top of the line for this virus. We bid 1 billion. When do the auctions close?

OOC: *gets a flashback of Jennifer Government, the book*
IC: Impressive.
OOC2: WERE R DA UPLAOD CODEZ??
[/amused sarcasm]
IC2: OOh, competition. 5 billion.

ASW will be paying top of the line for this virus. We bid 1 billion. When do the auctions close?

Accepted, It will close in 7 days.

IC2: OOh, competition. 5 billion
Just in case you missed it.

Free Listening (a subsidiary of ASW :D) will bid 10 billion.

ASW? Shorten please.

The Ineffable Empire bids 20 billion.

(I posted earlier as Archaic Slang Words, my smaller but more... vocal nation).

25 billion.

Ah okay.
75 billion.

100 billion.

I bid more than whatever you bid! But seriously, before we begin bidding, we'd like to know if this virus is duplicable.

N00k3D

100 billion.

Accepted

No you dont, thats cheating . NO PROXY BIDDERS

Secondly, It depends how you mean, it can not be cloned without the key code, which will be kept by Pablicosta at all times, so You can't have two lots of it.
However, you do not need to clone it as once the virus is uploaded onto your controll system it does not expire. You can target as many servers as you like. We don't recomend more than 10 full server hits though, as this is known to attract the authorities watching server lines, and they may pick up no the nano-second infection time as the virus is picked up.
I hope this answers your question.


~pabli.

Yes, thank you for the information. However, what authorities watching the servers? We are the authorities. Unless you mean in other countries. But whatever. 150 billion is our bid.

It means if anyone bidding is a corporation, like reploid, who intend to damage a competitors systems.

Warmongering Evildoers is my puppet, which I logged into accidently
If you check, you'll see it's only slightly smaller than me, it's resurrected
9 trillion!
WE is part of the Ineffable Empire An excuse I use to let me use it to shore up my military numbers, use it as a safe place when I'm being nuked, and generally just a place to get extra tax money from, t spend on the military

A man in body armor yells from the back of the room "10 trillion for the Thelasi Star Empire!"

Aww...I fold (unless I use puppets, which is frowned upon, I know). Good game!

Aww...I fold (unless I use puppets, which is frowned upon, I know). Good game!

A very shiny ninja drops down from the ceiling in very cool ninja style, and shouts, "I bid, like, 12 trillion, dude."

15 trillion for the Insurrectionist Militants of ASW!

"I don't care if I wipe your entire nation of food for 20 years, and throw your military into dissaray through lack of funds. Just give me more money!"

OOC: 10 years later, he closes the auctions, and we're into the 20-zero digits...

Aaaaah, this brings me back to the old nation-selling days... :P

"16 trillion, man! Like, beat that!" The ninja exlaims before ripping his shiny clothes from him and dancing to imaginary disco music.

The Thelasi says quietly, and camly "17 Trillion"

"...dude...like...uncool, dude. I just gotta bid 18 trillion now, duuuude!"

The Thelasi smiles "18.5"

A robot stands up in the back of the room, and yells out "$20 TRILLION!"

Ryan, the 14-year-old kid who was our rep. falls down anime-style. "Twenty Trillion Dollars?!"

Ryan, the 14-year-old kid who was our rep. falls down anime-style. "Twenty Trillion Dollars?!"The robot proceeds to flash its cash. However, because all Resian money is on credit cards, it isn't nearly as effective to see a robot wave a piece of plastic around as it is to see one wave a fistfull of paper.

i post one bazillion, majillion gazillion!
You could've at least used real words... :(

The THelasi seemstobe happy "20.1 Trill"

The THelasi seemstobe happy "20.1 Trill"

"Looking good. Oh, and if this goes on for 20 years, and I get 20 0's, I'l be even happier...."

"Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa25trillionaaaaaaaaaaaah." The shiny ninja (who might not really be a ninja, or very shiny for that matter) screams, waving a fistful of cash about and dancing on the ceiling.

"25.1 Trillion" Says the Thelasi

"I'll give you a lifetime supply of ice cream!"

"I'll give you a lifetime supply of ice cream!"

"I'll give you a lifetime supply of ice cream!"

"I'll give you a lifetime supply of ice cream!"

Sir, did you read the sign at the door, [i]No bids using Ice Cream[i]. £25.1 Trillion Dollars the latest bid. Anymore?

Open Communique to All Involved Nations

You've got to be kidding me.

A "virus" (looks more like a worm to me) that is some weird blend of hardware and software, engages in "battle" with "key files", and somehow causes hardware to destroy itself is now going for over 25 trillion?

Are you people thinking here? Most governments these days use their own proprietary Operating Systems. How would this thing have any clue as to what system is being used? Or where these "key files" are? Does it have every OS in the universe programmed in? If so, this is one massive file.

Seriously, if I had 25 trillion chits (or dollars, or pounds, or whatever), I'm sure I could come up with all sorts of things. Has anybody considered taking these huge sums of money and giving it to their R&D departments, and developing their own things? Is this virus/worm/whatsit really worth that much money? I've seen nations sold for less!

And I'm not even getting into the issue of something like this trying any system with some sentience behind it...

Shhh, Don;'t out them off. I expected 3-4 Million, not 25 Trillion. Muhahahahaha.

Well, I just rid myself of a worm, acutally 2.

Anyone want?

Bidding starts at FREE!

((Now, TMGH, I realize, and I think most of the others here realize that what you have said is true. The security systems of the NS nations are simply far to advanced for any logical form of worm to overcome. In short, in the digital war, the armorsmiths have beaten the weaponsmiths. The thing is that it's fun. Why do you think my bidder is a shiny ninja who dances to imaginary disco music on the ceiling? Hmm, you know, The Most Glorious Hack sounds mighty similar to something that would be a powerful virus. I'm selling off TMGH. Bidding starts at 1 million. :D ))

[OOC - Heh... a 2+ bil pop nation that's ranked 31st in the world for IT, and you think I'm only worth a mil? Pah!]

Anymore Bids?

OOC: Yep, I could give all this money to my R+D department and get something better.
But winning this auction is a matter of pride!
IC:
And a booming voice declaredThirty Trillion!!!

Is there a doctor in the house, this nation just fainted.

Is there a doctor in the house, this nation just fainted.
Sorry, we had to sack him to pay for the virus...

Well thats a shame, any more bids?

I will pay you in souls. How many do you need.

Oops wrong thread!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOkay..........

*Wanders off aimlessly*

I'll put up 45 trillion. I have cash to burn... and have to go on these expulsions to prevent inflation. 8)
