The Legend of YouAreAnIdiot.org

In 2004, a website known as youareanidiot(dot)org rose to prominence across the internet, where it was home to what is now recognized as the You Are An Idiot computer virus (mostly known as "YouAreAnIdiot" or "Offiz"). However, many people first visiting the site had no idea what they were getting themselves into, and the story goes even deeper than that.
The YouAreAnIdiot trojan horse, also known by its official name “Offiz” infected as many as 100,000 people, and it was now making its way around the internet as a topic of heated discussion. A subject people immediately regretted becoming acquainted with, its presence just continuing to grow. It wasn’t long until people were claiming that their entire hard drives were being permanently erased and damaged beyond repair. What exactly was going on? How did the story of YouAreAnIdiot go from exhausting tech support threads within online forums into becoming an internet legend?
Well, properly answering that question requires a bit of historical context. We need to go all the way back to the year 2002. The internet is still in its fledgling phase, with the vestiges of the 90s, but it is growing at an alarming rate, as well as getting smarter and more sophisticated every day. This goes for both the technological aspects of the internet, as well as human behavior. The internet is becoming more because people are demanding more, for better and for worse. Not only was it improving on user convenience, it was learning to solve problems users had been yearning to get fixed for years, as well as solving problems users didn’t even know that they had. But this came at the expense of creating new problems, some of which were previously almost unheard of. Malicious programs were becoming smarter and more difficult to combat, as malware developers were learning from their past mistakes, and YouAreAnIdiot was a symptom of that.
But to really see how and why this was the case requires going into detail on how the virus rose to prominence and how it actually worked. The earliest form of the program showed up in early 2002, originally known by its more official name “Offiz” and it first appeared on a website. The earliest confirmed website it showed up on was known as youdontknowwhoiam(dot)org. So what did the virus actually do?
Well, it wasn’t technically a virus at all. It didn’t use your computer to spread to other ones. It was a trojan horse, a program that pretends to look nice and innocent, but causes harm to your computer once you activate it, but of course the vernacular for layman computer users is to call anything malicious a virus, so people just stuck with that. We mentioned that this virus was one of many components which formed from the early internet’s ongoing evolution, and that’s because it took advantage of a relatively new technology that was only becoming more complex by the year. This technology is called JavaScript. This wasn’t just writing code. This was the closest thing you could get to making something that was alive. Something that could almost think for itself. With JavaScript, you were playing God on the internet, so why not use it to cause mayhem as well? But this virus didn’t just take advantage of that. It also had another somewhat new and growing technology under its sleeve: the flash player. Combine these two forces and you are virtually unstoppable. Any user curious enough to click on the website’s window would be greeted with the famous animation we’ve all grown to recognize. Thanks to the JavaScript, any further attempt to exit the page, whether it be by refreshing or clicking the x button, will spawn six more smaller windows displaying the same animation, all playing at once. You’re not getting off that easy though. The script has programmed the windows to bounce around the page, so good luck exiting out, and even if you do get rid of one, six more will pop up once again. You now 11 windows on your computer calling you an idiot, and your speakers are just getting louder. You try using some hotkeys to forcefully shut down your browser, but now you just have text windows calling you an idiot. Before you know it, the windows have multiplied exponentially, and your computer’s resources are being used up. Your system is so slow you can barely even move the mouse anymore. You can’t even open task manager it’s so slow. Now you have no choice but to take the last resort and shut down your computer through physically pushing the power button.

    My brother and I were at my dad's friend's house for his band practice back when this was very popular. They were all downstairs in the basement while we were upstairs messing around and playing silly games on the computer. He randomly told me to search up something called YouAreAnIdiot...i was really confused and I was about 11 or so. I typed it into the search bar and this popped up. Tons of tabs popped up and the music got louder, I had no idea what was going on and my brother was starting to freak out aswell. Finally we powered off the computer but our adrenaline was skyrocketing and we were shaking. I had nightmares for about a month and my brother apologized so many times and said that he was just curious on what it was. Thats the very fond memory i have of this crazy website..and I'll never forget it lol

    Oh man, never thought I'd hear that anxiety inducing song again- it's only a slightly higher pitch than my brain's very vivid memory of it 😅 I was probably 10 or 11 on addictinggames and mis-clicked on one of the unavoidable ads and my heart leapt out of my chest, i was so scared. After a minute of heart-racing panicking I force shut down, waited an hour and then was trembling in fear as I turned the computer back on. Man the relief I felt when nothing happened and I was in the clear- my dad is a tech guy and I don't think that was the first time I'd had to come to him in shame to fix the pop-ups I accidentally clicked on lol. Scared me straight, there was only one other time a couple years later when a rogue trackpad again misclicked on a banner ad on MySpace causing a ton of pop-ups. Other than that I was so careful to not go anywhere near banner ads for fear of accidentally clicking them 😅😅

    I don't get this "unsaved paper" complaints because office 2000, office xp, office 2003 and later all periodically autosave and they will let you recover most, if not all of your work. There are many other things that could happen to your computer, it could crash or there could be a power outage. They thought about the computer forcefully shutting down long before this. In fact I believe office 97 already autosaved. I literally had someone turn off power as a prank and I was pissed but when than win 98 and office booted up again it was all back, in fact it opened with my paper already loaded because there wasn't the "check these unsaved files" sidebar yet.

Alt+F4 did not work if the user didn't get to it fast enough, and if every page was set to open as many new windows of itself as fast as possible. Why early browsers were ever designed that way, I'll never understand... Especially allowing a script to change the window position, how could that ever have been useful??

Seems like even the one who did it could send out a much better fool proof version of it. Or maybe because the computer I was on ages ago was so shitty it took ages to even open a single window, not even the malicious program could react at the computer crappiness for me to close it down. Yeah I think it was that 100%

If the script only made one pop-up (and that popup made one pop-up etc) instead of creating as many as it could, you could Alt+F4 faster than the new script would be able to load and execute. However, if you had a few windows all creating 3 copies of themselves a second, and all 3 of the copies creating 3 copies etc, it worked.

When I booted my computer back up I got the dread of still having something on my computer. Eventually I got my computer cleaned and it turned out I had a lot of different viruses from spyware to trojans and worms. XP era malware gave me paranoia which I still have today. I'm always wondering if random CMD popups at boot or browser slowdowns are caused by a trojan.

    I used to go to the computer lab and boot this up on all of the desktops at once, I quickly discovered that they were all interlinked virtual machines . Basically all of them were just "screens" running all off one server and 20ish computers running ram destroyers would tank the tiny server my school had. It also made me realise I could easily mirror other people's sessions and steal their games.

    The tune itself is clever. When there is just one playing, there's already a slight chorus/echo effect to it. Once you get a bunch of them going at once, it doesn't change the sound all that much. It just gets slightly more echoey and a LOT louder. This trojan horse was a masterpiece. It didn't mess with anything, it didn't try to steal your data, it just became an easy version of the Rickroll. Anything you lost was your own faukt for clicking on a scetchy link before hitting save.

    and after that you have to plug the red wire into the socket to make sure the engine boots at launch. Wrap the green wire around it's coil that sits directly beside the A button. After you put the back shell on, place the battery in the slot. Screw the Vr26 Jeeper back up and press the reset button. If everything worked according to plan you're device should show a thumbs up sprite. Plug the HDMI port into a monitor and wait three seconds. If it boots up on TV your in the good side. If it doesn't boot in less then 5 seconds quickly unplug. This can severely damage your TV and possibly start a fire
