greets- While there is talk of destroying computers remotely I have been doing research on the actual 'frying' of networks. It operates on a simple basis which I have dubbed anj for lack of information on the subject. Basically whenever a collision occurs on a 802.3 network the voltage jumps 5 volts and every computer is told to shut up. Normally every computer shuts up and than carries on with life. With anj every computer is encouraged to keep on talking building up the voltage on the line. Now, as all good tesla students, or you pesky double e's know that you can have shit loads of voltage but without the correct current you can't do anything. So, all we have to do is raise the current and those twisted pair and routers will burst into flames. I have only proved this method on a local network with two 486s that I found in the trash. You can probably achieve this on a greater network but I haven't had the time to work through the problems presented. The math for determining which piece of network equipment to fry relies on a couple of variables. You need to know the resistance of the cable, the length of the cable, and then you can derive the rest of the stuff you need. If anyone is interested in my experiments I'll forward them that source and details of the setup, as if you don't know what you are doing you will easily either a) fry your computer or b) accomplish nothing, with the latter being much more common. cyn0n _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
