Quote from: ScrewdriverClock;1877369So you're asking if we know how to utilize a java application to copy files from a remote cloud based location onto someone's hard drive, without their consent or knowledge, under the pretenses of a prank on people who are on your dropbox?It's mostly a test if this is possible. It's not like I'm trying to make a virus or w/e.
I think these are more your kind of people.
I can already copy files from anywhere on the computer to anywhere on the computer or linked computers. If I could acces a file in the registry, I could copy files from exact locations on the computer. So technicaly, yes you could steal someone's private files and software if you do this.
But I will only use this as a research. I will only use my app with my ein xp laptop, and the win 7 laptop from a friend. That way, I can see if this code works for a different OS.
