This can be the one of the technique to delver the virus or a Trojan Horse to a victim. In this post I will sharing method to create Autorun.inf file. Before we start lets see what this autorun.inf file is?

Autorun.inf itself is a ismple configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available. In other words, autorun.inf tells Windows how to deal open the presentation and treat the contents of the CD.


A simple Autorun file example:-

        [autorun]
  open=anything.exe
icon=abc.ico
label=autorun


Method-1(Creating Manually):-


Consider that you want to run your virus or Trojan whenever a person clicks on CD.
1. Create a autorun.inf file and save it inside a folder say virus.
 [autorun]
  open=server.exe
2. Place your server.exe file inside virus folder, keep some other files if you want to.

3. Burn the contents of the folder in a blank CD.
Now whenever you insert that CD in drive and double click to open the server.exe file will run automatically in background.


Note:- Before burning to a CD, the contents can be tested by creating virtual image of CD. Follow the steps Below:-
