This is Childs play... Why not just fry the Flash! That is, given that most if not all computers use FLASH BIOS these days. I could visualize that a well crafted puppy (Trojan) (i think 20 to 40 bytes should do the trick) can be sent to the target machine to erase/program the Flash to zip, keep Vpgm constant until fried to a golden brown, or better yet, program it to play that annoying Barney Song in beeps.

Off course nowadays it would be kinda hard to suceed. I dont have much knoledge of the apm workings,any one knows if that would be possible? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Wray" <steve.wray () paradise net nz> To: <John.Airey () rnib org uk>; <full-disclosure () lists netsys com> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 5:18 PM Subject: RE: [Full-disclosure] Destroying PCs remotely?Interesting topic though, is it possible to *destroy* computers remotely at all? Destroy the hardware, that is. In the case of a rack *full* of Dell servers, I imagine that turning all the fans on full power would generate enough thrust to push the whole thing across the machine room floor... :)_______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
