One of the technicians on base is a massive computer enthusiast, his personal space is packed with old computer parts and floppy disks. Outside of tinkering with computers in general, one of his favourite pastimes is obtaining and running infamous computer viruses using virtual machines and disposable (in the name of science) old physical computers. He willingly runs these viruses in a controlled environment and records pretty much everything that happens, both on video and with notes.
He showed me some of this yesterday and I must admit, even though I am a technological illiterate, seeing some of those things in action was very interesting. He showed me the "Living Death" DOS virus, the "Melting Screen" worm and the "HATE" DOS virus. Watching him navigate through the PC with command prompts and explain all the carnage these things were wrecking was very eye-opening for me. The Melting Screen one was quite cool and he got rid of it with relative ease, the Living Death virus complete trashed one of his old computers though, which was pretty scary.
