Post 1: Found a Weird Old Russian App – Domofon.exe

Alright, so this one’s a little different.
I was digging through an old tech forum thread (pretty sure it was archived from like 2013?) and someone dropped a broken link to a Soviet-era “intercom simulator” called Domofon.exe. Sounded weird, but I was bored and curious. Found a mirror still live on a barely functional Russian software dump site. Most of the page is in Cyrillic, and the site doesn’t even have HTTPS—very janky vibes.
Naturally, I downloaded it.
Don’t worry—ran it in a virtual machine. I’m not stupid.
The file name is just domofon.exe, and funny enough, the file size changed between downloads. First time it was 5.8 MB. Downloaded it again on another system just to check—it showed 6.2 MB. No idea why.
Anyway. Here’s what it does…
When you run it, you get this grey, windowed app that looks straight out of Windows 98. No fullscreen option, no settings. The interface is super minimal:
– A large circular speaker graphic takes up most of the window.
– Underneath is a glowing green “Connect” light that blinks softly when idle.
– Below that, a number pad labeled 001 to 999—you just click a number to “connect.”
That’s… it. No menus. No help button. No exit. You have to alt+F4 to close it.
There’s no field to input your phone number or anything like that—no external connectivity that I can see (yet). Just a closed system, kind of like an audio museum piece.
So I clicked on a few of the numbers to see what happens.
Each one plays what sounds like a pre-recorded intercom response. Like someone answering a door buzzer. Some are generic—stuff like “Yes?” or “Who is it?”
Others sound oddly real. A couple were in slavic language. One guy just sighed and hung up.
Some of them respond when you say things into the mic. Not always, but enough to feel creepy.
I got curious and tried spoofing a call using a VoIP service to a local pizzeria, just to see if anything would happen. I clicked a number (I think it was 014), and miraculously it rang their real line with some robotic “intercom” voice asking about a delivery. Not super convincing, but still weird. (And yeah, I used a throwaway number—don’t want to get blacklisted.)
Post 2: Domofon.exe – Real-Time Mimicry?

Alright, back with more Domofon.exe weirdness.
I said I wouldn’t mess with it again but… curiosity wins, as usual.
I didn’t reinstall it. The file was still sitting in the VM (forgot to shut the machine down properly), so I figured one more test session wouldn’t hurt. I had a couple hours free yesterday and got to play around with some of the other “lines.”
Like I mentioned before, each number from 001 to 999 plays what sounds like a door buzzer conversation. Some are static-filled, others are crystal clear—almost too clear.
I started jotting notes down. Here are a few that stood out
– 017 – A woman’s voice says “Hello?” then “Wait there, I’ll come down.” But then nothing happens. It just loops faint breathing.
– 038 – Child’s voice says “Wrong floor.”
– 045 – This one said my actual name. Just once. Not full name, just my first. Could be coincidence… could be a very creepy script.
I had this flyer from a local car dealership—one of those mass-printed ads they stick under windshield wipers. It had a direct number, so I figured I’d do a little prank.
I used a burner app on my phone and played one of the clearer voices (#048) through the VM speaker while calling. It’s this deep, neutral male voice that just says: “Is the garage open?”
The guy on the other end paused for a second and said, “Who is this?” I hung up. Definitely got spooked.
Not super scientific, I know—but the weird part is, the voice almost matched my tone. Like it copied how I say words. I don’t remember it sounding like that before. Probably in my head.
So here’s where things got off:
– The app froze for a solid 6–7 seconds while I was flipping through numbers. Whole VM stuttered.
– When it came back, the Connect light was blinking slowly—even though I wasn’t doing anything.
– A voice played on its own—didn’t click anything. Just whispered “I hear you.”
Thought it might’ve picked up mic input somehow, but I keep mic access blocked in the VM unless I manually toggle it.
I shut it down after that. This thing might just be a super glitchy voice simulator… or it’s messing with system permissions. Either way, I’m officially done testing it for now.
It could be just a creepy prank program. Feels like a relic of some ARG or forgotten art project.
But there’s definitely something else going on under the hood. Some of the voices feel generated in real-time.
Might be bugs. Might be something smarter. Might be both.
I’ll leave it be.
No promises though.

Post 3: That Wasn’t Meant to Happen

Okay, this is going to be a short one.
I was about to shut down for the night, but something weird happened, and I don’t really want to sit on it.
I know I said I was done with Domofon.exe, but I left the VM running in the background earlier. Bad habit.
I hadn’t touched the app all day, but a few minutes ago I noticed something odd: the Connect light was blinking. Slowly. Steady. Like a heartbeat.
I hadn’t clicked anything. The app was minimized. It shouldn’t be doing anything.
I opened the window to check. No audio had played. The speaker graphic was just sitting there.
Out of instinct, I clicked one of the numbers—randomly, like #062—but nothing happened. The light just kept blinking.
Then the light changed color. Green to amber.
That’s new.
A few seconds later, a voice came through. Not a pre-recorded one, not like the others.
This voice was… older. Slower. Like it was struggling to breathe, or like it was decayed somehow.
It said:
“Let me in.”
That’s it.
No follow-up. Just static.
I stared at the screen for a while. The light turned off. The app went back to idle.
I shut the VM down and disabled network bridges just in case.
Not saying it’s anything supernatural, but it’s not behaving like a normal offline app. Not even a weird prank one.
There’s something running under it. Something reactive.
I’m not going to uninstall it just yet—I want to check logs, maybe monitor the file in a sandbox.
But I don’t think I’ll be opening it again.
This is probably my last post on Domofon.exe.
Unless something else happens.

Post 4: Still There.

Alright. I know how this is going to sound.
I deleted the virtual machine. Fully wiped it. Didn’t just shut it down—I nuked the snapshot, cleared the disk image, and even ran a diagnostic just to be sure.
But this morning, when I booted up my main system, I saw something on my desktop.
A single file. No folder. Just sitting there.
“Domofon.exe”
Same icon. Same name. No install path. Right-click > Properties shows a broken file location: „C:\Users\A\Documents\System\Null”
I don’t have that directory.
I didn’t run it, obviously. I took a screenshot, went to check logs, and as I was doing that—I got an email.
No sender name. The “From” field literally says:
000@null.null
There was no subject line. Just a blank message body, except for one line at the bottom:
are you there?
A few minutes later, another email came in. Same address. This time it said:
please open the door
The third one came while I was writing this post.
i’m waiting for you
I checked headers—none of them have traceable metadata. It’s like they weren’t sent at all. They just appeared.
Could be spoofing. Could be a virus.
But why use the same language as the voice from last night?
I’ve disabled Wi-Fi. Ran Malwarebytes, AVG, Windows Defender, and even booted into safe mode. Nothing’s flagging the file. Nothing’s stopping it from just… existing.
I don’t know if this thing is embedded somewhere deeper or if I somehow triggered a script with the VM.
Either way, I’m backing everything up and prepping for a clean reinstall.
This post might disappear. The blog might get taken down.
I don’t even care anymore—I’m mostly just pissed. This was supposed to be a fun rabbit hole, not some late-2000s creep ARG with malware attached.
If anyone out there has seen something similar—or if this is part of some project—message me.
But I’m nuking the system tonight.

Post 5: domofon.exe - Something is off

Okay, I thought I was done with this. I really did.
For anyone who didn’t read the earlier posts: this started with a weird Russian program I found called domofon.exe. It simulates an old apartment intercom system, but it’s been doing things it definitely shouldn’t.
I’ve had voices mimic me, emails from blank addresses, and the thing literally showed up on my desktop after I deleted the machine I ran it in.
If you’re wondering what the hell is going on, read the earlier posts. I don’t have time to explain everything again.
I threw out the PC tower earlier tonight—unplugged everything, carried it out to the dumpster behind my building. Figured that was the end of it.
Guess not.
I was in bed maybe an hour ago. Headphones on, half-asleep.
Then the domofon rang. My real one. The building’s entrance buzzer.
I figured it was someone else’s at first, but then it rang again. Same exact length. Same exact pause in between.
I got up. No one at the panel. Just static. I hung up.
And then my phone lit up.
No notification—just this green blinking light icon on the lock screen.
I tapped it. I don’t know why. Reflex, maybe.
The screen dimmed and the speaker clicked on.
And then I heard it:
“I am waiting for you.”
Same voice from the VM. Same tone. But this time, it didn’t sound like it was just in the phone.
It sounded like it was coming from my building’s intercom speaker… and somehow the phone at the same time.
Like both.
I don’t care if I’m imagining things. I turned everything off. Router, phone, everything.
Turned the phone back on just to write this.
I don’t know how this is still happening. But it is.
And I regret ever downloading that file.

I wasn’t going to post again, but something else happened this morning.
About an hour ago, the domofon rang again—not in the middle of the night this time. Broad daylight, around 8AM. I was in the kitchen.
It buzzed once. I answered.
No sound. No static. Just… nothing.
I waited maybe ten seconds. No voice, no footsteps, no clicks.
I hung up, looked out the window—no one at the building entrance. Not even delivery vans nearby.
Checked with my neighbor just now. She didn’t get any ring on her panel. It was just mine.
I know how all this sounds.
There’s a good chance someone’s screwing with me. Maybe someone accessed the building remotely, or maybe the panel’s just faulty and I’m on edge. Maybe the whole thing has been in my head.
But even if this is some kind of prank, it’s gotten way too elaborate. The emails, the phone icon, the voice that somehow copied my tone…
I’m going to ask the building supervisor if the intercom log keeps timestamps. And yeah, if anything else happens, I’m calling the police. I don’t care if I sound crazy anymore.
Just hoping it stops here.
