Implement random email attachment execution #2

Open nsgomez opened 8 years ago

nsgomez commented 8 years ago

The reference comic mentions executing email attachments but the system currently relies on infections like Blaster, exploiting services connected to the Internet. VMs should be capable of executing random attachments from an email address (could use a Gmail API), and that email address would have to be signed up for a lot of spam mailing lists.

This actually seems to be virtually impossible because email services like Gmail are filtering malicious attachments, and I'm not sure I want to go to the effort of setting up my own email server for this. I'll probably just build up a bank of viruses on the host machine to be randomly executed by the machines, though if I could find a legitimate way of just getting malware delivered to me easily, that'd be great.
