-- -- By Raven -=-=-=-=- Okay, I would first like to say that it was Jolly Roger whom first wrote how to make this type of bomb. I feel that I have some information which Jolly Roger didn't include, so without further adue, here is the customary warning! WARNING! This file presents information which can destroy a computer, and could lead to serious injury to those at the terminal. This file is for informational purposes only, and I DO NOT encourage you to make one. Just because I jump off the Brooklyn Bridge doesn't mean you have to. Okay, this is what you need: 1 or more 3.5 inch disk(s) One box of kitchen matches, blue or white ONLY! One very sharp razor blade One bottle of rubber cement One centimeter of magnesium ribbon (optional) One gram of thermite (optional) To start off...Take your razor blade (NOT a shaving razor...should be a wall paper cutter or something used to cut card board) and carefully cut the disk open. It is important you don't crack it, and equally important you don't severely damage the hinges on the disk. Once you have the disk cut, you can do one of two methods. The first is, you can pull off that metal thing, and lose your disguise (ie, YOU have to put the disk in the drive), or you can do a sloppier, less effective job by NOT pulling off the metal thing. Take a wooden spoon, or use your fingernails to scrape off the match heads. Try to get as little wood as possible, because that only obstructs the burning process in this case. When you have enough, take out your rubber cement. Pull out the cotton shit, and coat one side of the data storing part with the rubber cement, but using it sparingly. You don't want puddles of the crap. Anyhow, before it dries, real quick, spread the match powder. You don't want a speck here and there...You want it to be totally layered! If you didn't pull the disk apart, that's about all you can do. If you did, though, you can do both sides, which is much better. Now that you got your disk bomb, fasten the snaps together, and apply a very minuscule drop of rubber cement at the corners. Hold it tight until it dries...When its dry, you got yourself a computer destroying disk! What to do next...Well, if you pulled off the metal piece, go in after school, or after work, or whatever, and pop the disk into a drive not being used. If the disk is still totally intact, drop it on a desk with a label which says something like 'GREAT XXX PICTURES!' or something like that. In both cases, RUN! What is now going to happen? Well, when the disk is being accessed by the computer, the internal heat of the terminal should be enough to ignite the match heads. When the match heads go off, the disk will melt, and fuse into the drive. Here are some other options...In the midst of the match heads, slap on an inch of magnesium ribbon. The heat and fire from the match heads should be enough (if you did it right) to set the magnesium ribbon off. The ribbon will act like a blow torch, causing excessive heat damage, probably permanently destroying the drive, corrupting C:, and destroying his sound card or whatever, or at least damaging it. If you have some thermite AND some magnesium ribbon, put the thermite under the ribbon. It should be a fairly well sized blob, weighing about a gram. However, you will need the magnesium ribbon, because the matches will not have enough heat to start the thermite. What will the thermite do? Burn right through the disk, the drive, whatever is underneath, the table, the floor, and will probably drop out somewhere around China. Oh yea...If by some freak chance his power supply is under the drive, and the thermite goes through it, most likely it will short out the building, and then blow up, causing a lot of damage to the sap using the terminal. Ha! If you are wondering, yes, I have done this experiment. On the last day of school last year, I put one of these great disks into a terminal at my school. I am assuming nothing became of it, because I have heard nothing, but it did frustrate me. So, I made several more of them, and 'accidently' dropped a few into a shareware vendor's disk boxes at a computer show. Yea, I know..It was not very nice. Frankly, I don't care. Until next time...Raven. By the way, here's a list of the BOM Squad boards............
