- How To Crash a Commadore BBS
-
- Part One - How to crash a RAVICS BBS
-
- Try to chat with the sysop. If it starts to say "Attemp #1" and so on, then
- just hit 'C' >VERY< fast a few hundred times. After it pages the sysop about
- 30 times it will give an out of memory error in such and such a line.
-
- Part Two - How to crash an IIBBS
-
- This will only work if the sysop is running either an un-modified version
- of IIBBS, or he has the very first version. Log on as a new user. Log off
- and then log on again as a new user. Then log off and try to log on again
- as the SECOND new user you logged in as. In the old version, the BBS dosn't
- initialize the drive after writing to the relative file. Therefore, when you
- try to log in as the second new user, it will try to read past the bad
- position but will never find it. This will leave his drive spinning until
- he can come in and reset the system. If it dosn't work the first time try
- again with two more new users, and so on. The system will just sit there
- sending a carrier to you. When the drive is left spinning it will heat up the
- metal frame in inside of the 1541 drive. This will cause the readwwrite head
- to be knocked out of alignment, costing the sysop a mere $45...

- Part 3 - How to crash a 64 Exchange
-
- Go into the download section and start to download a file. When it is ready
- to send (it should say 'A to abort, B to change block size. Ready to send')
- then select B and enter '99e99' when it asks for the new block size (99e99 is
- a number bigger than the computer can accept). This will only work on older
- versions of 64 Exchange.

-
- Part One - Another Way to Crash IIBBS
-
- Log on and enter the message base. At the prompt enter '99e99'. This will
- cause an overflow error. If the sysop has a crash handling routine, then
- use the method in How to Crash C64 BBS's - I and fry his drive. Here is
- another way. If you log in and it says 'You have mail' or whatever, but it
- dosn't list who it's from and the date, then go into the e-mail section.
- Proceed to read your mail. It should say 'No mail found' or whatever. At the
- prompt, enter 'R' for reply or 'D' for delete. It will delete your mail and
- cause an Illegal quantity error.
-
- Part Two - How to Crash a RAVICS V9.3
-
- Log on as a new user. When it say it's creating your ID hit a bunch of keys.
- This will lock up the program and leave his drive spinning.
-
- Part Three - How to Crash Hal BBS 4.6
-
- Enter 255 for your ID # and 'HAL' for the password. If the sysop has the
- BASIC version this won't work. But if it does you will now be in the sysop
- menu. Have fun...
-
- Part Four - How to Crash Ace Line 3.5
-
- Log on and check to see if they are running the version modified by General
- Zod (it should have his name all over it). If it is just call back about 10
- times. Sooner or later it will cause an Out of Memory error.
