So I recently downloaded quasar rat crackled from git hub and it was a virus, the virus removed the possibility of accessing wifi/internet, removed sound seems to be blocking factory reset does anyone have any idea on how to fix those

All help is very appreciated :)
 
And you don't have antivirus? and was not using the virtual box? Great. You are done.
 
Windows school laptop :)

But my friend maybe has a way to fix it with a USB

There's gotta be someway to fix it? Or what do i have to do if not?

Could anyone download it in virtual box and see if there is something I can do?

You mentioned, it's a school laptop. Can you install applications on it? If yes, download Malwarebytes on another machine and use a flash drive to install it on yours.
 
Frankly speaking, there is only one way to really reset it. FORMAT it (copy your data to a second disk first).

If you need your data, put into secondary disk and retrieve it using a middleware pc (running *nix, if you are serious). Be careful of what data you carry forward. Just take essential.

Lots of users will tell you to do bla bla, and bla. Those do not work. Trust me, I have been a hacker first hand. ;)
 
The only safe route is formating it, I would not even copy any data unless absolutely necessary.
 
I'd format, if I were you. Save what you want to keep, to an external drive, and don't plug that drive into your formatted machine UNTIL you put protection on it.
 
and never download cracked software without
a firewall anti virus software and something like m/bytes
installed.
Even those are child's play. Just change some variables and algo, and your virus is undetectable. Anti virus software looks for known hashes. They are just the first line of defence, and do not work if some hacker really targets someone.

*Just saying
 
you need to install windows 10 on an usb and boot the setup within the bios
 
reboot on safe mode with network access download Malwarebyte lunch a scan and let it take care
 
I am gonna take a blind shot and will declare your Windows to be broken/Corrupted because these viruses are tooo hard to remove.. but good luck man!
 
Malwarebytes is a good start. Can you also provide us the github link so we can report it?
 
like LukeMathews said , boot it in save mode u gonna have control then run Antivirus , if u can't install antivirus try manually remove all program run in startup : (startup folder , services ,..) , or at least copy your data then format it , (if u copy your data make sure to not access to it until u have antivirus in your Os)
 
Link is: github(dot) com/quasar/QuasarRAT
I can't download anything since the internet/wifi is removed /blocked

Yes, but you can install/run a removal tool from an external drive. Malwarebytes has a portable version, if you don't want to/can't install it. Boot into safe mode and do a full system scan with it. In the vast majority of cases it removes the infection. If not, you need to reinstall the system, but i'd try to repair it first.

Quasar rat is a well known open source RAT and that looks like the correct link. If you dont know the difference between open source and cracked then maybe you should not be playing with RAT's as theres not a chance in hell you would compile this yourself to get it past AV.

If you actually managed to build a client from that github link and run it on the laptop then just delete the file (default name is client.exe). However any av would have picked this file up easily and quarantined it so my guess is you didnt even get that far and fucked up some network settings while you were being the clever leet hacker. So you need to be booting in safe mode and rolling back windows a few days using system restore.

Better yet follow the advice in this thread and reformat that school computer and then return it :p

I'd be more worried about personal information/accounts. Your school won't be happy if you silently starts spaming other systems, ending up on blacklists etc. start changing your passwords.
