## 1. Create a Virus using the JPS Virus Maker Tool and Infect the Target System
The JPS Virus Maker tool is used to create its own customized virus. This tool has many options for building that can be used to create a virus. Some of the tool’s features are auto-start, shutdown, disable security center, lock mouse and keyboard, destroy protected storage, and terminate windows. An ethical hacker and pen-tester can use the JPS Virus Maker Tool as a proof of concept to audit perimeter security controls in an organization.
