Evil Support Guy

I had a guy at work today banging on about how, and I quote "ny network is broken" - given that this is a 4000 computer network that would be quite an achievment - but he then turned round and called me a "f***ing halfwit". At this point I put a small program on his system that just ran an MCI device command at random intervals - basically, at random intervals, the CDROM drawer opened itself, and then closed again. I made him apologise before I would fix the problem.

Any other evil tricks to share?

Cad :D :D

Yes, yes they do

Someone once installed a screensaver called something like "The Screaming Skull" on my system. Screensaver comes on, screen blanks, after a while this skull appears on the screen and starts SCREAMING through the soundcard... he never told me where he got it from.

Look in the Tech Lounge under "Cruel computer joke"... brilliant!

my personal fav is install the "I am Gay" flash into the startup menu and just turn the machine off, when the victum comes back a siren goes off and it flashes in big pink letters I am gay. You have to hit escape to get rid of it and it's just funny watching people panic.

I seen a screen saver that was a black screen but seemingly randomly opened up little spots until the women was naked...Imagine puting that in the startup :D

Id have to say im about ready to do some of this stuff to the idiot that sits across from me,.. always tells people the stupidest things like "Oh i know the last PCI video card was the Voodoo 3 2k ...etc" i want to yell at him everytiome he says that but maybe this trick will be good enough hehe. :)

A friend of mine once had a screen saver that blew up little parts of the screen with cute little explosions, erasing the parts behind them as it went. His gf was doing a report for university and stopped to read some notes, didn't know about the screen saver, screamed out loud when it kicked in, but no real harm done. Never did find out where he got it...

FUN :D

What is Win Nuke and what is it used for?

Here's a site that has some good tricks.

Little White Dog

They've got some basic ones and some pretty damaging ones as well.

Win Nuke came out a few years back, script kiddies used to use it on IRC back in the day. The program was used to exploit netbios (if I remember right) which would cause the dreaded BSOD. (blue Screen of Death)

All you need to do is replace someone's 56k modem with a 2400 and make sure he/she won't know the difference until he/she connects up and tries to surf.....

Gotta love them BSOD's... :D

Guy I work with just put a program on another co-worker's PC called Flatulater. As you can imagine it makes obscene noises at random times. Also ejects your CD Rom as well. Too funny!

I was the victim of a back_orfice trojan by an idiotic co-worker about 18 months ago.

well well well too bad I was the network admin.... :)

Guess who's machine then couldn't get an IP address over the next few days until he 'fessed up?

I've always liked to take a snapshot of their desktop, load it up as the background (to fit the screen), then hide/removed all the icons.

Sit back and watch them tear their hair out trying to click on a picture....

Did that to a teacher once. :p She spent 20 minutes staring at her screen trying to figure out what I'd done. Once I told her, she said she'd do the same to her husband. :D

Another good trick is to add a "shutdown" command to the victim's login script. Priceless!

An oldie but a goodie is the classic "reformatting drive C:\" joke program that actually had the hd spinning and clicking. Can't recall where I got it though...

I would exchange out his cpu and put a slower one in, and give the faster one to an admin typist. Also, decrease the virtual memory size, and other settings that will make everything write back to the hard drive (depending on his OS). That will slow down his computer to a crawl. Everytime he clicks on an icon, the hard drive will be write/read/write/etc. for about 10 seconds.
Or you can have the startup routine start a bunch of unviewable programs to hog the system memory.

Batch files are loads of fun for these kinds of things.
