Citadel - An Open-Source Malware Project
- dchest 15y agoHow cute: The Citadel developers are strongly against the use of this product within CIS. The product doesn't work on systems with Russian or Ukrainian keyboard layouts. There was a tradition among some ex-USSR shareware developers in 90's to make their product freely available to ex-USSR users (because they won't buy it anyway, and I guess, doing good for neighbors). They detected keyboard layout or had special registration instructions, like "enter the current month name in Russian instead of registration key". Example: FAR Manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAR_Manager#Licensing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAR_Manager#Licensing Today you can actually sell software to ex-USSR users, so not many developers do this, but -- hey -- the evil people continue this tradition with malware!

- johndbritton 15y agoSeems like a very good way for the original authors to plant a backdoor and take over your botnet. If you didn't write it yourself, you'd better be very careful.
