þáGâþ "A New Way To Crash a BBS" by: Crackerman If you live in an area code like mine, you would want to know how to crash some annoying lamer PD boards. You have seen multiple articles on how to crash these nasties... of these 1 out of 20 work. There is the proven Renegade MCI code hack method.. but all sysops are on to that now. Well there is a new method I have discoverd. Although it is not a "Drop to DOS" hack method.. it is equally annoying for a sysop who is constantly away and can't tend to his board full time. With ALL board types there is a common thread in most cases: An Upload Checker. With my method of crashing you utilize the upload checker to its full extent. I do not condone using this on C00L boards.. since most have an upload checker also. Well you've read.. and now how to do it. First you must obtain: þ UUCODE (On most boards) þ Resizer (Uncoded Below) þ Pkzip (Ahhh Duh! If you don't have it.. go home) At the end of this article is a UUcoded file called Resize. It will resize a file you tell it to.. to any given ammount. Unencode the file and lets fucken go! 1) Make a TXT format file using EDIT.COM or Qedit... whatever. 2) Use resize with the following format: --- Resize ??????.TXT 70000000+ 3) Take the resized file and Pkzip it. 4) Upload it to your favorite board with an Upload checker. Here is an explanation of what you just did. First you are creating a fake text file to resize. When you resize the file you are adding more to the program making it larger. But there is a catch behind this. A command augment part of Resize is (-r). This pads the file with random bytes of information. In our example we left that out.. thus Resize pads the file with ALT-255.. or spaces. When you zip this file it will zip down to its or nearly its original size! Thus a 70meg text file (as done above) would reduce down to the size of the original text file you created in step 1. Depending on your HDD space you can create huge files with it.. make a 200meg one if you chose... but Pkzip can take a LONG time (Depending on machine speed) to compress the file. You should now have realized the beauty behind this trick. Your local lamers board receives the file. It does it's usual uncompress test and BOOM! the thing is 70-200+ megs plus! Depending on HDD size it will cause untold havoc. If the HDD is filled the BBS will not be able to create the Error Correcting File.. thus sending the BBS into and endless loop. If the HDD is some 1.5 gig monster it will still cause Parity Errors,Major Fragmentaion and random disk writes. Either way the BBS is down for a while or something is destroyed by the random disk writes. -------------------------------Cut Here-------------------------------------- begin 666 resize.com MN/8SNL87.\1S:8O$+40#D"7P_XOXN:(`D+Y^`?SSI8O8L033ZXS9`]E3,]M3 MRPX!S0Z[06-"MIX,U#JX)H;9^C8=ZX(Q'74%!L!6Y6\XLY#Z)Z4<4ELB(=/.
