Thios thread here: http://forum.defcon.org/showthread.php?t=6469 gave me an idea.
Imagine a contest where the competitors try to mess up a laptop as bad as possible. Maybe segment the hard drive into the maximum number of partions, make every key go BOING when pressed. I am sure we have all been possessed by spyware to the point of frustration, so imagine doing this on purpose!
Some ideas on IRC had me rolling in laughter. If I am at DC14 I would be happy to see this. Of course the contest needs a prize, maybe all the beer from the cooling contest? :>
Well I have a while to think of something. This sounds fun. How much can YOU hack up a laptop for an unsuspecting user?
Example:
All of the above link plus:
Have a 6GB wallpaper image
Remap the keyboard
Set the NIC speed to 256k simplex
I would think all laptops should be at least 1GHz and 256MB RAM so that it is the user's abilities that slow it down, not the hardware. Any script kiddie can disable services and make the laptop a pile of plastic. Can you disable it with skill, finesse and panache? Opinions?
