SUBJECT : Can Viir destroy hardware
DATE : 02.09.93
FROM : The Norway Int
There will always be roumers _About viir which can do both this and _That.
Well, ExeBug is capable of changing BIOS settings on Bootable drive, but
that is not to damage/change HardWare.
Todays _HD are getting smaller & smaller, and the physical strength in the
material isn't of the best Quality. To loosen the heads in a harddisk is
actually possible. By letting the heads move from track 0 to the last track
on the disk several times, _U might physically destroy the whole HD.
_U must be Aware of that physical disk configuration isn't the same as
you are setting in BIOS. BIOS setting is _Ust a table which refers to the
physical disk. If U use BIOSDISK in C and think _U are switching between
the first and last track on the disk, U're wrong.
U need to know those tables to be sure that _U are switching between the first
& last track.
The Idea is that _U also have to ( in U'r ass. or C code ) be sure that
the track hasen't been reached yet. If _U can tell the head to go to another
direction while it got top speed the oposit way, you has reached the
maximum of physical power that software can cause on hardWare.
I've been tested this on a IBM PS/2 and managed to destroy the HD after
2 hours with continous move of heads. Good Luck _Dudes !
