Hey,
We talked about it on node.
What if someone creates a patch that starts to rewrite every file on your system it can with an empty string?
How can I protect myself against this threat (that I am creating propably right now)?
cheers,
David.

Don’t give vvvv admin rights (so it can’t delete system files), or create a new user for it with write rights only on a certain folder structure (which is what Android does for every application). Or run vvvv inside a virtual machine, so it can only destroy that one.
It’s the same with every software you run on your computer - it can potentially do everything you allow it to do :)
For once I mumble… please do NOT share this patch… ;)
better do a ddos hehe
okey thanks.
so we can line this out: vvvv is potencialy extremly dangerous.
@teckor
vvvv is potencialy extremly dangerous
but no more dangerous than IE6 has been.
I just ran crack.exe and I think I’ve been infected

btw. vvvv was able to compile patches to exe ? :)
heh, indeed and this was the only executable that was ever created…cheesus
