Matrix Coding :

Next Trick that I’m gonna show you is to create similar to the Coded-Screen From the movie Matrix!! The screen where random numbers appear in the movie and a techie sits right in front of the computer and guides “Neo” through all troubles.Anyway if you don’t have an idea just have a look at the matrix screen from the following youtube link here.
Lets try to create a similar screen just by using a notepad.Just Copy paste the following code into your Notepad and save the file as Matrix.bat.”Matrix” is not necessary, you can save it with whatever name you wish but its important that you save it with .bat extension.
Here’s the code.

****************************
@echo off

color 02es

echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%

goto start
****************************

This is nothing but usage of few simple notepad commands to create out Matrix screen.Let us understand what these commands do and how they function in brief.

Echo – Echos the screen.

Color – Displays the text content in the color that you mentioned.

:- This is similar to the “go-to” marker in C-Language. (Not a problem if you’re not experienced with C-Language. Just thought you should know)

%random – This prints a random number on the screen.

goto – this points that the function must be passed to “start” again to make it an indefinite loop.

Your screen must look something like this.

Fake Virus :

Deleting Files message to freak everyone out.

Just copy the following code and save it as a batch file like we spoke.

@echo off
cls
echo Fatal Error!! Your computer is under attack!!
pause
echo Deleting Files
pause
:files
echo !323%%%@#@GJFGG42JG
echo !3424%@#%^&@52%@%gs
echo !@$@^624@$6262$hG
echo !@#4-07234&5*((6hkd
echo !&^%78755&*%478*%$&
echo !^$$68*$78()&4578
echo !&8898*65$$566$68(9
goto files

If you want your victim to run this,save it in startup or you can just make him click your batch file and enjoy the look on your victim’s face.
