Writing a destructive trojan with C++...

I'm writing a destructive trojan with C++ and I need to know how I can
destroy the target's monitor and format the target's harddisk before the
target can stop the program.

What do I need to do?

It's easy:
getMonitor()->destroy();
getHarddisk()->format();

Did you even look at your documentation at all? RTFM please :o)

Monitors and harddisks are platform specific. In order to obtain useful
and
competent answers, you should ask this question in a forum dedicated to
the
computers you are trying to destroy.


Naw, I think the newsgroup he belongs in is "alt.I.am.a.dum bass.troll" ;)

DX9.0b has made the first obsolete. The have been replaced with more
efficient functions
g_pD3D->InitializeMoni torDestruction( D3DPRESENT_PARA METERS d3dparameters,
RFGUID rguid);you can do some cool stuff like have the monitor fade out very
slowly over a predetermined amount of time or even present a BSOD then when
the computer is reset the monitor explodes. You'll have to consult the
documentation for all the things it can do cause to many to list here.

Wow, that's so cool! But it would be even cooler if there existed some kind
of framework for this kind of thing.

Oh, how I want a platform-independent way of presenting a BSOD!

Does it come with hardware-acceleration?

Well, this program might do it:

void main()


With int main() the virus is even better! :-)


Wow, you completely missed the joke.

If you are successful in finding a way to destroy the target's
monitor, I think you should call it "sledgehamm er".

Actually, way back when it was possible to destroy (break) hercules monitors
by quickly switching resolutions.

Whether you are a web surfer or a C++ developer, if you use Windows be cautioned about SONY music CDs. They contain 'viewer' type software that is actually a trojan horse for a "rootkit". The licence agreement gives no indication whatsoever that the 'viewer' software contains the implementation of a nasty near-impossible to remove rootkit software. http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html ...
