  • WinAPI-Fun

    A collection of (relatively) harmless prank examples using the Windows API

  • You can upgrade to the BSOD prank from the OP. A fully immersive and realistic BSOD experience automatically tailored to the version of Windows you're running, including versions that don't even exist yet!

  • WinAPI_Collection

    Various functions, small programs and other WinAPI related stuff I've written.

  • Great project! Keep up the good work! And I love the usage of Nim in combination with WinAPI, the code looks cleaner than with C. Definitely gave me flashbacks from when I was coding in WinAPI, it was very fun to do little harmless "hacks" like these. I have a similar one on my github that I used to write random text on any open Notepad instance so that the user would be confused if it ran on the background.

  • PowerToys

    Windows system utilities to maximize productivity

  • And if you install PowerToys there are some nice mouse utilities, like the ability to double press Ctrl to make the screen dark except a circle around the pointer.

  • EvilBullshit

    evil joke programs to put on friend's pcs to fuck with them

  • Samba

    https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba is the Official GitLab mirror of https://git.samba.org/samba.git -- Merge requests should be made on GitLab (not on GitHub) (by samba-team)

  • The best thing about net send is, it's entirely unauthenticated -- or at least it was, back in the day. It says "User X on Machine Y" sent this message, and Windows will indeed make sure to tell the other machine who sent the message. But if someone were to reverse-engineer the Windows filesharing and related protocols and turn these into a nice suite of open source tools, nothing would force those tools to tell the truth about which user or machine was net-sending.
