Yer, soz about the name ,lolz ,picked it a while ago , was in a stage ,lolz , ok, so you can confirm for me that it is possible for someone to blow(in a sense) a persons computer remotely through an internet connection, using maybe a trojan to gain control? And also what setting would you change to do it? |

I think you need to take a course in electronics/circuits....
Though strictly theoretically speaking I guess you could make a virus that basically reboots the computer over and over, and if completely ignored for a very long time, you might break the physical hardware faster then it normally would.
Short answer though is, no.

But , the way you overclock a computer, can you not do this via remote access but overclock higher . |

um wow, thats just nice.
but i did remember my old ECT instructer mentioned a virus that blew your harddrive, as in melted(a little dramatic). Now it might have to do with the power source or it might have to do with a setting in the hard drive itself, but yeah, google knows a lot more.
So maybe you should ask google, maybe if you do it nicely and say please you wont get an error message either. good luck with your email account

Thanks, for all the nice advice, when i tried google all i found was an old newspaper article, all i really need to know is it possible through the comp alone with tampering with the hardware, i am not wanting to do this to anyone ,just to prove a point to someone that it is possible. |

over clocking is controlled by the bios -- while I know of 1 virus that destroyed the bios (Chernobyl Virus) but its still technically software not hardware related (despite the fact that at that point its easier to replace the hardware). Also over clocking your processor/video card will not destroy the power supply. Also, there generally are many safe guards against this, automatic temperature shutdown, fuses etc. So again it would take some time with a computer running and no one paying any attention to the random malfunctions happening at the time
Its not entirely out of the realm of possibilities but as far as I know there has never been a virus do date that does what your asking.

true true, i think my course would be the best course for a hacker, as in not getting caught. cause a part of my course is Evidence and there are sooo many things you can get off with, were the police evidence is circumstantial and or illegally obtained.

Thanks for speaking for me while I was away moshbat 
First thing I thought when I saw the name was hang him, burn him, pour tons of salt on him.

you could kill the cpu with software overclocking in theory with clockgen

First of all! Who are you (moshbat) to give mean comments. Why is verybody so hatefull against Emo's? Fact is: I'm half emo half goth. Anyone noticed that? NO! If it wouldn't be for his name no one would complain!
Back to the thread: If you mean like overclocking his omputer on-the-fly and burn his CPU then your victim needs to have that support on his motherboards, New Asus motherboards i know has that support atleast. The asus overclocking tool caa be accessed and used through command line aswell as the GUI so by making your own trojan you could do this, although; new Motherboards has a failsafe on there if OC goes wrong.
(Sorry for spelling misstakes, just woke up)
Seriously, do you even care?

Everyone loves labels
Buy classic root_op, emo root_op, goth, root_op, or picnic root_op, only $9.99
If you buy at least three you'll get root_op's dreamhouse for only $25.

Also, something so trivial.. Community service at the most.
With hackers luck they would want to make an example of you, and say that no matter how little it wont be taken lightly. And last time I checked the UK hasn't found its balls for standing up to the US and just saying no to extradition of one of there own...
Not very smart to try and show off, why didn't you send him a pm?
@EMO I don't know about the power supply but I have heard that if you set a monitors refresh rate far too high it will ruin the monitor within a couple hours. |
