Wow. I made a virus on my NXT to!
Code: Select all
task main()
{
ClearScreen();
SetAbortFlag(BTNSTATE_NONE);
while (true)
{
ResetSleepTimer();
}
}

But you could stop that one with a computer. Muntoo's, you can't.

A virus is only a virus if it can spread. Otherwise it's just a really stupid program that you shouldn't download to your NXT. Muntoo's program is nasty but, as Matt mentioned, dudmaster's can be easily stopped via a direct command from another device, such as a computer.

Since we're on this topic, shouldn't RebootInFirmwareMode() have some safety features so that it doesn't get executed without some sort of user consent?

The "user consent" is you downloading it to your NXT and running it.

I sincerely hope you're not serious about that. First of all, you'd be breaking more rules than I care to count and second, you'd have to be a complete sociopath to do something so malicious to other teams.
