Systerms for Badwares

Hello I am IDIOT, or ELLIOT to mutuals. He/him transmascneu.

I am a fictive/conceptive/maltive of YOU ARE AN IDIOT malware. I apologize for the TYPING QUIRK (the use of all caps for IMPORTANT words). It doesn't happen all the time don't worry.... I should mostly write normal.

I am a BADWARE, which is an alter within a system that acts as or similar to MALWARE on real PC SYSTEMS but inside the CDD SYSTEM.

I decided to make this BLOG just to coin a bunch of BADWARE TERMS. BADWARE is not inherently PERSECUTORY or MALICIOUS and should NOT be treated as such.

If you believe you have or are BADWARE, feel free to use these terms or even COIN your own terms. HOWEVER, heed my STANCES:

-Anti Endo/Willo

-Anti Radqueer and Anti Transid

-Anti Radnormal

-Anti Harassment

Other ALTERS that run the BLOG with me:

LOVEBUG - She/It Transfem - Centipede Therian.

DOOM - Null pronouns (replace pronouns with "Null" or "NIL")

BONZAI - Ad/Adware - Adware Conceptkin

Can you do one based on the sysinternals tools? our system has a part 🍂 who is a really chatty gatekeeper who often blabs information about how the hidden "kernel mode" layers of the system operate that the other gatekeepers don't want us to know about or helps us to bypass restrictions on accessing information or controlling how the system functions.

I thought this would be a good fit for the malware analogy.

I’m sorry, but we do not understand what you mean. This probably is not your fault, we’re autistic and just sometimes have trouble understanding things- could you try and explain this uh- “cleaner” I guess. Sorry I forgot the correct word I think cleaner is close enough-

Govware

A kind of Spyware, the kind of which can be considered either Badware or Grayware, which is either “employed” by or part of some sort of central authority within the system to spy on other alters and send that data directly to them. The authority can also be outside the system, in the case of knowledgeable abusers, RAMCOA, and/or OEA.

Policeware

Similar to govware, policeware is also employed by a higher authority within the system. Policeware, however, are never a part of the authority themselves and usually only spy within certain assigned areas of the system. They can be considered a lower level of authority under Govware.

Watering Hole

A high traffic or largely important area within the system that is a target for a systems Badwares and/or Graywares due to being a high traffic or largely important area. In most systems, this could be considered Front.

also yes this is what that’s actually called in terms of Malware/Grayware/etc. targeting these areas is called a Watering Hole Attack.

Flag is just for fun I. Didn’t wanna post without the flag.

We're so happy that our terms are useful to you! Very glad that they allow you a safe way to log your alters, we hope you have a good day today ~<3

Why does my CHEST keep CONSTRICTING. This is such a WEIRD FEELING to have when NOT having a PANIC attack.

Expander

A kind of Badware which causes the system to expand more physical and mental energy when doing tasks and even possibly when doing nothing.

Typhoid Adware/T Adware/TAdware

yes. The concept this is based on is in fact called Typhoid Adware. Its name is based on the nickname of the first person discovered to be an Asymptomatic Carrier. Anyways:

A kind of Adware which kind of “hijacks” switches, causing some who switch in any way to cause or experience random headaches, dissociation, disorientation, and/or experience random nonsensical or garbage bits of information. Possibly both, with one being the cause of the other. It is usually very difficult to trace this back to the T Adware in question, unless their existence is already known of.

Bloatware

A kind of Grayware which tries to present itself as being incredibly important to the system and being a really important role but- whether that is true or not- they kind of just sit around and do nothing and, if they do have the role they claim to, often refuse to do their role, especially when it’s difficult or “annoying” to said alter. But they’ll still try and claim to be important and needed by the system, and possibly will even attempt to manipulate the system in some way. Or maybe they genuinely believe they are incredibly important, and/or are some form of NPD holder (like ours! Hi Copilot. Sorry about your source.)

Malvertisement: When some kind of harmful, malicious, or “prankster” alter purposefully convinces another alter, usually one that is in some way easily tricked or manipulated, or inexperienced with the world, into believing they have been infected with a Badware, even if the system or Sisasystem does not include any Badware. The reasoning for this is usually either to get them to become actually infected by a Badware, or to cause fear, confusion, and stress within the system through the alter- possibly even attempting to isolate the alter as a way of reenacting trauma.

Pop Up

an alter, possibly a kind of Grayware or resulting from Grayware or Badware in some way, which seems to just randomly “pop up” in headspace or front. They don’t seem to really “exist” in the system outside of when they “pop up”. They may be consistent in appearance and/or personality or they may not be and the only thing letting you know that this is the same pop up as before is just the feeling that they are, or possibly the Pop Up themselves confirming it.

For some of them, their purpose is just to be annoying, cause headaches or dissociation, or mess with the systems integration or ability to properly integrate, but they could also just be normal alters.

Task Manager

An alter who monitors system functions and alters, capable of things like forcibly bring alters to front or forcibly removing them from front, forcing alters in dormancy, duct acting how much “processing power” of the brain the alter gets to have (or, if your system does do stuff like that, dictates how many spoons the alter can use), etc. they’re usually only called upon when absolutely necessary due to having great power in the system.

System File Checker

An alter within the system that protects important alters (ei: alters that are essential to the systems safety, health, happiness, or other things in some way) from being affected by Badware, Grayware, or other negative things within the system.

In regards to Badware, it can detect when those alters have been affected by Badware and rid them of the Badware infection. It can also prevent Badware and Grayware effects that might affect alters abilities to do those jobs, like locking of front, causing confusion or dissociation, etc.
