No it’s not but the whole point of it is that antivirus packages detect it, and they will kill and quarantine the process handling the data. Its purpose is to trigger an antivirus response for testing purposes.
So it can indeed be used as a DoS kinda thing in many cases.
Ehhh one thing I’ve learned over the years, it doesn’t matter how much storage I buy. Within a few weeks it’ll be full.
Haha especially the angry bird is genius
I often get situations where umount -f doesn’t even work :( Especially on a full desktop (not server) where some stuff is probably crawling the drive to make thumbnails or whatever.
There’s some AV packages like Lookout that are pretty common in corporate environments.
And really any big data collection through apps will make itself to servers eventually if course. You don’t need to open a URL for this to trigger, the eicar code being in memory of a process is enough.
Of course you do need to decode the QR. But I’m sure many environments focused on video data collection would device QR codes.
