15 years, and not much changed. Still making great, entertaining and rather educational videos on old viruses. This is why the community loves you, Dan, you make consistent content (in sense of, content type).
a true sliver of the good, old youtube that i really miss. no big budget production or bullshit clickbait, just a genuine one-man band making comfy quality content.
for me, a lot of the enjoyment in these videos is that it sort of acts as a portal into a world of computing that i never saw. it's so interesting seeing these old viruses and how the world of computers work around them. back at a time when viruses felt more alive, more interesting
I was around for all this...but considering I was only 13 years old when this worm came out...I hadn't really gotten into computers much yet,so never actually had any live exposure, so watching these is like opening a door to a world I was parallel to, but could never enter because conditions weren't right.
Dan, my man, you're showing us what's left of the dawn of the internet and it's been a very long time since the dawn of the internet. You could put out one video in six months and I'd be excited to see it in the feed. None of us would be sad to see a "virus redemption" video later where you developed additional features of the virus into working again.
been watching for well over a decade! i pretty much grew up on these videos - and they’re still just as entertaining now! 😄 you inspired a very young, traumatized me to try… something. anything! i started tinkering with programming and computing at a young age after seeing the cool effects of making your own programs. i’m majoring in computer science now, so you’ve had a significant impact on me and my future. thank you for your hard work (and time) towards making these. can’t wait to see what comes in the future!
i'm glad you like the videos! I always am amazed to hear of people influenced in their career/life trajectory in part because of the videos I make, and it never fails to catch me off guard (in a good way!) I appreciate your super thanks!
Dan, you can't expect every video to be ultra amazing and life changing... but people love your content for what you do, your style and your humour! I love that your videos are still basically like the old days of RUclips too. I like how they feel, huddling around a computer in a darkened room looking at malware from years gone back! It would be cool if you could get more of the activation routines running, but just do videos and things when you can. We're not going anywhere :D P.S You mentioned IRC you could probably run unrealircd easy enough to try see that in action. Looking forward to whatever you do, regardless. Hope everything's good! :) x
I started watching these videos when I was 11 or 12. Now at 23 and as a grad student, I can speak to personal experience how time for hobbies gets gradually lost to life as the years go by. Thanks for still posting these videos all these years later, no matter how long they are or how long it takes for them to come out.
Always great to see you again! It’s funny you mention the whole “letting perfect be the enemy of good” thing, as it’s something I have also been trying to remind myself of lately. Perfectionism has kept me from releasing so many things over the years that now just sit rotting on a drive, all the effort wasted. For what it’s worth, I did like the video, this is a pretty interesting worm. Deleting everything in an infinite loop instead of just once is a neat idea. I’m also very interested to see you delve into the world of old antivirus products as well, should be fun! Cya next time :]
I have enjoyed your videos for the better part of decade when i was much younger, it has inspired my love for all things computing and i constantly await for new videos. Take this a my little token of graditude for all youve done for me :D
Hey Dan. I've got a special comment for you today. I've been watching these videos for somewhere between 8 and 10 years now. And next week is the last presentation in my Computer Science degree. Fucking finally. You were a major hand in my interest in cybersecurity, and while that is no longer my priority (software development actually...), analyzing these old school viruses and showcasing them has always been a light in my life and studies. I would've never been inspired to learn program analysis in the same way. So thank you for what you do Dan - from one Danno to another.
I've been watching you for almost 15 years now. You have unironically been the most consistent thing in my life. There was one time about a year ago I dropped a tab of acid and watched your videos for 8 hours without a single interruption. I can honestly say it was one of the most peaceful experiences in my life.
wow, thank you. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever heard of anyone dropping acid and watching my videos - glad it was a good trip and not a bad one!
These videos are what sparked my interest in cybersecurity and now, 8 years later as an actual consultant, they bring back some very chill nostalgia and respark the curiosity of figuting out how something works. Much appreciated that you continue to post these Dan!
For an easy way to run old email, IRC, FTP, BBS, terminal and webservers, give the Synchronet BBS software a try! It bundles all of them together, in a very suitably basic way.
@@danooct1 No problem! Out of the box it runs its own BBS services on the web server and whatnot, but it does let you change the dirs to your liking, so you can coax it into running anything you like really.
These videos are great! You learn quite a bit about older systems and their flaws and how we can prevent them. I've been watching this channel for years, and these never fail to amaze me! What an inspiration. Thank you for all you done sir Dan! 🤘🏻
Dan, I've been watching you since I was 12, maybe 13 and still in elementary. Now I'm in my first year of college and you still haven't changed! It's nice having something constant in life.
The crazy thing about your videos are, that they still are in that old 2012 youtube style. Theres no clickbait or screaming at you in the title, its just all information about the video. I normally dont really watch such long form videos with just a dude talking, but yours can make that entertaining! Most of the stuff you show was even before my time, so seeing how viruses back then worked and you showing it is just so entertaining. So, thanks for all of those great videos, and im definitly going to continue watching then!
As some people have already said, thank you for the videos Dan. I’ve been here since like 2010 😅 and boy do I enjoy watching. You were one of the people that sparked my interest in computing and now I’m a Software Engineer! Thank you for everything and keep being you Dan, have a happy 2024 too!
Video quality is crystal clear! I love it. I discovered your channel when I was 9 and now I'm 18, and you're the only youtuber I consistently visited throughout my lifetime.
I'm not an old viewer as many of the fellow conpanions here, but I can say that I really enjoy you videos a lot, no matter if the videos are too long or not as impressive as some of your most famous videos. I discovered your channal like 3 years ago due that my computer was infected with a ransomware and was searching for information about ways of solving my problem. The way that you explain things teached me more than any tutorial that I used to solve my problem. So thank you for these videos.
from the first time i found you a few years ago i've never not been entertained or at least intrigued in what was going on, i love how you present them it really brings me back.
i wish there was a way i could really show my appreaciation for you!! your videos have been with me at every point of my life and always keep me going in the bad times (got some really bad news today so this video has really brightened my day :,)) I dont care when or how much you post, just your account existing and your videos, funnily enough even giving me nightmares about malware when i was 8 (im 16 now) and really giving me an interest into computers further than me jankily playing games as a very small child, now i can safely say im better at tech than my dad in IT, and you and your content rly has formed alot in my life and saved my life many times, i cannot ever express how grateful i am. 💖💖💖
You are one of the oldest channels I still come back for every video. I guess I’m “old fashioned” as far as RUclips goes, but I prefer this type of content.
I always find these rogue programs interesting. I totally get you with 'perfection being the foe of the good', always glad to see more from you, even if it's not 'the best ever', it's still entertaining to me.
I only stumbled across your channel in the past couple years or so, wishing I'd found it sooner because I find these videos to be really insightful, reminiscent of a very different era and all feels so naturally made. Even if they don't always go to plan, that's part of the beauty of it all 😊
these videos ive watched for over a decade now one of my few subscribed channels that never changed, comfort food of the highest degree never change dancoot!
It's good when the random kicks in and takes up another hour of your time lol. It's always interesting to see how these things work, and feel a bit of the frustration people felt back in the day. Thumbs up!
i have been following your videos since elementary school and one of your videos that came to me was the Apple DOS Trojan and i have been interested of doing some pranks with fake viruses along with real virus demonstartions. all are amazing of what you do until today i'm almost a college graduate. I always enjoy every single piece of virus demonstrations you do. No matter what i kind of always want to watch it. and even better, i keep rewatching the same video i always watch on your youtube such as CIH or Magistr. even though i can guess how the end of the video will be i can just keep sitting calm here watching you narrating everything.
thank you always for posting these videos! it always amazes me just how devastating these worms can be but also so interesting as well. after all this time, you never fail to bring a smile to my face! keep doing what you're doing! :)
You are the only channel that I know has stayed consistent for 15 straight years. I'm really glad you have because every time I watch a video, it feels like my childhood again. Like a time machine going back to the past. Not to mention, you are doing a service by preserving lost media like this. Cheers, and thank you for everything.
It always amazes me that you can upload, anything, and I would still enjoy that smoothing and calm explanation voice. Pls do more videos because I will crunch them all!
just wanna show my appreciation for you taking the time to make the subtitles - even though i don't really have problems with listening in english i still like having them on for my comfort so thats really nice
Honestly stuff not always going exactly like you thought it would be just adds to these videos, it's more organic that way! Let's face it that's also closer to how people would have experienced these in the day, maybe heard what a virus does, see something weird happen and not being sure was that this virus or something else. So for one I very much enjoy and keep making stuff exactly like you have!
Been watching your videos for a long time and I'm always fascinated to see these viruses and worms in action from an era I wasn't around for much! The oldest OS I can remember using is Windows 2000, and I get nostalgic anytime I see it in these videos. This is not a miserably boring and anticlimactic video, it's quite fascinating! And I look forward to your future videos, as always.
Everytime you think he stops uploading... BOOM new video PS : i love your videos do not take this as a hate message his calming voice his fuckin beautyful
The most amazing thing about these videos is how off the cuff they are; if there's anything I hate more than anything on RUclips, it's a scripted video. Yours are just pure, unadulterated entertainment for entertainment and educations sake. Keep up the good work; we'll always be back for more!
I've been watching since the No Commentary era, man, time flies. Here's to more viruses not behaving themselves or acting sus when the camera is rolling :D
Not every virus is gonna work as expected but it's really neat to learn what it can do to the system. I've been watching your videos for years and I'm happy to see you upload a new video when you do! I'll still keep watching till the end of the video if the virus does it's job or not!
I`m watching your videos like 10 years... But you always make awesome virus videos. Don`t let yourself down. These videos are never be boring. Keep it up the good work. :) Until then take care! :D
i've been watching your videos from Turkey for a long time, I have learned a lot from your videos, even if you don't upload videos often, I hope you upload more videos and I will continue to add something to myself!
i remember Kazaa viruses. but even back then as a child i had enough common sense not to download a 500KB .exe that promised to be a game crack. or a music file, for that matter, lol
15 years, and not much changed. Still making great, entertaining and rather educational videos on old viruses. This is why the community loves you, Dan, you make consistent content (in sense of, content type).
a true sliver of the good, old youtube that i really miss. no big budget production or bullshit clickbait, just a genuine one-man band making comfy quality content.
The only notable change is the camera quality.
dan’s channel has been the one most consistent thing in my life, of all things
(they don't know this is the only thing I know how to do) yes, consistency is key!
@@danooct1 and that's why we love you! 😁
I don't care if it's a 10 minute or 10 hour danooct1 video; if he posts it, I will watch the video!
Can’t wait for the next 8 ball stream
Amen
i would watch the 11:59:59 duration video too
for me, a lot of the enjoyment in these videos is that it sort of acts as a portal into a world of computing that i never saw. it's so interesting seeing these old viruses and how the world of computers work around them. back at a time when viruses felt more alive, more interesting
Same here. Nowadays it's just ransomware. At least viruses back then were more tricky
@@Cinibonswirl26yeah it was mostly just kids who knew how to code having fun. now they all work for the cia or something
I think computing in general was more alive and less cynical back then. Now I begrudge it every day.
I was around for all this...but considering I was only 13 years old when this worm came out...I hadn't really gotten into computers much yet,so never actually had any live exposure, so watching these is like opening a door to a world I was parallel to, but could never enter because conditions weren't right.

you inspired a very young, traumatized me to try… something. anything! i started tinkering with programming and computing at a young age after seeing the cool effects of making your own programs.
i’m majoring in computer science now, so you’ve had a significant impact on me and my future.
thank you for your hard work (and time) towards making these. can’t wait to see what comes in the future!

Alright, I'm up I'm up!
i’m up!
I'm up!!!
BEWARE, I LIVE.
I'm not a babe
Your videos are really giving me old youtube vibes and i love it!

Crazy you still make videos lol one of the earliest channels to educate me on malware.
been watching since 2012 and i still love your videos
I have been a subscriber for about 10 years now and I have found every video entertaining so far. Even this one. Keep doing them. I love seeing them.
Glad you are still making content! ive been watch\ing\ your videos for years! happy late birthday!
The wait is always worth it with Dan. Glad to hear you again!
these videos ive watched for over a decade now
one of my few subscribed channels that never changed, comfort food of the highest degree
never change dancoot!
Even when these viruses refuse to cooperate, every danooct1 video is a treat. Keep on keeping on!
Bro i dont care if its not too entertaining, i just wanna watch silly worms
It's good when the random kicks in and takes up another hour of your time lol. It's always interesting to see how these things work, and feel a bit of the frustration people felt back in the day. Thumbs up!

good to see dan is still about, sending warm regards
Thank you for putting in the effort for subtitles! I appreciate them more than you know.
ive been waiting for months, FINALLY
Wake up, babe. New danooct1 video
Honestly stuff not always going exactly like you thought it would be just adds to these videos, it's more organic that way!
Let's face it that's also closer to how people would have experienced these in the day, maybe heard what a virus does, see something weird happen and not being sure was that this virus or something else.

Love these virus videos! Instant thumbs up. Seeing all the different payloads is always really interesting.
Been watching your videos for a long time and I'm always fascinated to see these viruses and worms in action from an era I wasn't around for much! The oldest OS I can remember using is Windows 2000, and I get nostalgic anytime I see it in these videos. This is not a miserably boring and anticlimactic video, it's quite fascinating! And I look forward to your future videos, as always.
yay dan upload! always nice to see you in my notifs
That is very odd behavior for malware. It does anything it wants at anytime it wants to do it.
We enjoy watching it. Just saw the end portion. Keep making please!
A new danooct1 video, what a treat!
Great video as always, Dan!
Whether you post daily or yearly, we'll be watching!
Your videos played a part in me ending up with me ending up with a cybersecurity degree!
Damn it's been awhile glad to see a new upload.
Love your videos Dan, they're all always really interesting. Can't wait to see more
I have said it on your previous video where you talked about it, but I am very hyped for the old AV videos
these simply never get old
BABE WAKE UP DAN UPLOADED
Everytime you think he stops uploading... BOOM new video
PS : i love your videos do not take this as a hate message his calming voice his fuckin beautyful
The most amazing thing about these videos is how off the cuff they are; if there's anything I hate more than anything on RUclips, it's a scripted video. Yours are just pure, unadulterated entertainment for entertainment and educations sake. Keep up the good work; we'll always be back for more!
Oh yeah, I'd love to see you test those old antivirus programs!
your videos got me into software and 80's tech!!
Still awesome as usual, Dan. Thanks!
I've been watching since the No Commentary era, man, time flies.
Here's to more viruses not behaving themselves or acting sus when the camera is rolling :D
I always enjoy your videos! Your content engaged and encouraged an interest in cybersecurity for many other nerdy kids, I'm sure.
Oh hey there ;P
Not every virus is gonna work as expected but it's really neat to learn what it can do to the system. I've been watching your videos for years and I'm happy to see you upload a new video when you do! I'll still keep watching till the end of the video if the virus does it's job or not!
I appreciate the video. It catched my attention and i watched it entirely 👍
I`m watching your videos like 10 years... But you always make awesome virus videos. Don`t let yourself down. These videos are never be boring. Keep it up the good work. :) Until then take care! :D
I feel bad for saying this but I thought it was quite amusing seeing the Worm delete everything _too early_. Good video.
Christmas came early! New Danooct1 video!
5:42 losing my shit at "Eminem Desktop.exe"
nice to see that you're still around
Hey dan , have you ever thought of showcasing linux specific malware?
love your videos as always
It's all ransomware anyway.
Hello Dan, it's good to see you again
Dan be like "ARE YOU ENTERTAINED?"
It’s always a good day when danooct graces our RUclips feeds with a new video. Hope you’re keeping well, mate!
2:45 Microsoft forcing Windows upgrades before Windows 11! 😂
Windows 10 is my favorite
@aurathedraak7909 Cool. I liked Windows 7 & 10, but I really hate Windows 11 though...
i've been watching your videos from Turkey for a long time, I have learned a lot from your videos, even if you don't upload videos often, I hope you upload more videos and I will continue to add something to myself!
What a pleasant surprise!
