njq8? Don't know him. I'm trying to base it off of DarkComet to be completely honest.
Well, what about BlackShades? It's been written in VB.
Anything that relies on the .NET framework will always be terrible for malware because it cannot run on all machines.
in order to write real malware and the ones that actually do not rely on bullshit frameworks, I really can't believe that you honestly think VB would be better then C/C++ for malware, it kinda shows how little you really know.
Honestly all I see these days are crypters which require manual recoding and crappy RATs which drain resources and are coded by a bunch of knobs, what happened to the classic polymorphic engines and the experimental metamorphic engines, and the .EXE infecting viruses?
It's amazing how the ease to get money will make someone lazy to do anything useful with a keyboard.
Here's a comparison between the two languages:
VB.Net
1. Relies on the .NET framework, must have it installed.
2. Easier to code because the compiler does everything for you and you can't control anything
3. Slow
4. No control over memory
5. Cannot make rootkits
6. Cannot control memory
C/C++
1. Relies on nothing if using the WinAPI, if there are custom libraries you can simply link them in statically.
2. Harder to code because you have full control over everything so therefore it requires more skill but in the end it is worth it.
4. very fast (even faster for C) because C/C++ is a middle level language meaning it is just above assembly, the entire NET framework was coded in C++.
5. Can make rootkits(up to ring0), you have the option of making a device driver using it.
6. Control over memory using pointers.
and so much more.
