so i need help sabotaging my computer so its in an unrecoverable state
any advice?
Watch hackers the movie.
get a hammer hit it hard repeatedly until its dust

You wanna fuck hardware or software?

magnets
Edit: Needs to look like an accident
Smash your hard drive/ssd with hammer until its not recognizable. Sell other parts. No data can be recovered from them
>>768426523
Call Hillary, i;m sure she knows a guy.
>>768426523
Eat and digest it. Poop is notoriously poor on bandwidth it will take you century to poop all the data nobody ever find it because signal too slow! ha ha ha!
>>768426821
Buy same hard drive from internet and format it. Destroy current one
Just swap the hard drive with an empty one. It won't boot.
>>768426523
Light it on fire along with your house
Remove hard drive, physical destroy.
Microwave, hammer, crush, drill thru the platter.
If the physical components need to stay intact then you need to scrub the drive and master boot record the best you can.
Download a program called WipeDrive and run it as many times as possible, takes a while depending on how you set the settings but you can pretty much rewrite every sector if you have the time.

Replacing the boot drive wont do anything, itll still go into the BIOS

>>768426523
microwave the platters in your hard drive for about an hour then hammer relentlessly,
Install Windows 10 on it.
Never be able to use it again.

Download lose lose. Play until dead

>>768427160
Won't work. It will only kill motherboard. Data from hdd will be recoverable
>>768427237
You say this but he sounds more gen z.
>>768426523
you sound like a child trying to destroy their shit so their parents buy them something new
fuck off
Also for people curious as to why, Im tryna turn it in for a new one.
>>768427324
warranty is a beautiful thing
>>768426523
Try this.
>>768427332
Well in that case, eat shit.
>>768427159
Most of us are assuming that he want's only data to be unrecoverable so hdd replace will work. If he want's whole pc to be unrecoverable for some reason he will have to do few more steps
>>768427332
Find a small ac-dc (doesn't matter) 12v or so power supply, cut the end off exposing two wires and massage the pcb of the hard drive/ssd with the wires.. make sure it's plugged in, makes it much easier. Tech stores do it all the time on fucked up rma's
>>768426523
>>768427492
Or this.
>>768427577
>magnetic tape
kek
what year is it?
>>768427577
This method doesn't work as well as you'd think
>>768427739
Magnetic tape is still used for backups. Just unlikely for home use. Fucking modern drive units are like 3 grand.
>>768427258
Underrated post
MEMZ, Petya, use that kind of shit.
Preferably both at the same time.
>>768429077
nope. pc would still be recoverable and he might loose warranty
>>768426523
Wipe it then bust the hard drive with a mallet. Also RAM.
>>768426523
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom bs=4k of=/dev/sda status=progress
>say you tried to read a drive, mixed input and output and wrote an image to the hdd instead
>>768427258
>open case
>push off of table
>tell them you were just dusting the insides and RIP
profit
>>768427258
OP, what the fuck have you done now? Why would you need to sabotage your computer into an unrecoverable state?
>>768430638
For profit- got advise from a hot geeksquad manager to have something unfortunate happen to my computer for possibility of new computer.
>>768430726
Delete system 32 if you want to
Buy a blank HDD, take yours out, smash it, put the blank one in.
>>768426523
Open up the hard drive and pull that little disc out, smash it, burn it, stick it between two magnets, shove it up your bung hole, pull it out, eat it, put it in your bunghole again, teach it to read, send it to the Prime Minister of Canada, send it to the Prime Rib of Arby's, an hero, un hero, re hero, and then scrub it with lemon to give it a shine and fresh lemon scent.
>>768426523
Take a magnet to it, pour water on it, leave it outside on the side of your house. Say it broke and you left it outside and it got rained on.
Im thinking I could just pull the processor out and bend the pins
copy following text into notepad:
@echo off
del C:\Windows\System32
Then save the file as .bat and run it. for example endGame.bat
For anyone who hasn't interneted that code will destroy your PC.
If it doesn't work delete sys32 manually
Either way say you got a virus and saw no need to keep a virus ruined computer so you just destroyed it and threw it into a river for fun.
>>768432115
Deleting Sys32 won't destroy all stored data on a HDD, it'll just make the OS unbootable. Anyone with a Hard Drive dock will be able to plug in the hard drive and browse through it like a flashdrive.
>>768426523
magnet to harddist
Id like to make the comp unbootable
>>768433080
Take some jumper cables, connect them to your car battery, then touch the data and power pins with the other ends. It'll fry the fuck out of the HDD and it'll guarantee that nothing is recoverable.
>>768432731
That's the thing though, an unbootable PC seems like a broken one and gives an excuse to destroy it.
>>768433423
If the OP is trying to destroy a HDD that typically means government and/or law enforcement is involved. They won't give up at just an ocular inspection.
>>768433423
And if the HDD was mysteriously destroyed, given the situation that would imply guilt, and evidence tampering.
>>768433510
No i just need the computer to be unbootable. Im not worried about HDDs or SSDs
>>768426809
/thread
>>768433627
Oh, then yeah, system 32 deletion would be sufficient.
>>768426523
Connect the 12V rail to the 3.3 and 5V rails.
We know what you're hiding....

go into your drive advanced settings and remove any ability for the drive to read or write through changing priv
>>768426523
The hard disk? There was some program you could boot and it would overwrite everything. Dbn? D's boot and nuke?
For non-SSD disks 1 pass is enough, though i'd do 2. For SSDs, things are a bit complex. You could use whatever the utility provided by manufacturer to securely erase and then use dnb with a few passes (or much more, depending if you really want to make sure) and then encrypt the whole drive with veracrypt, which should overwrite everything again, though it might be redundant...
>>768426523
>y those have $0!!?
>>768426523
ffs my dude you don't start downloading cheese pizza without knowing what to do in case shit hits the fan beforehand
errase /C:
Also, don't listen to the idiots suggesting to play with voltages. Logic suggests that it may fry the controller, but not the information, which will still be recoverable.
For future, I'd also use either Lucs(? Linux disk encryption) or veracrypt to have the drive / container encrypted with a 20+ char password to begin with. So that if pc got stolen, nobody would get access to data without password / future quantum computers / severe exploit in encryption / backdoor in encryption software.
>>768426785
No, not really, you fucking idiot
Alrighty since most of the work for recording stuff is either going to go through hardware and then go through software you can set your computer to legacy mode so that they have to use a different kind of software with every pass and or give up at the software level so that when the hardware begins churning out those numbers the electricity levels will be required to recommend a new settings change to the machine. When you do thid you set your computer to be corruptible by the other machine and this would make it difficult to have anyone declare you the sole proprietor of the information. After that if you want to leave it in a mangled mess, take a magnet and rub it up and down the ram while its on and writing to those areas in ram so that the information is indistinguishable from any of the other weird whirly bits that mightve existed then. What you do then is you take the drive you just wrote to, after its been unplugged and turned on, if or you have the space while its still on and plugged in is fine, and make sure that you create a few false drive images and then write those to the whole drive so that when it boots and they do it once, the next one has to be done the same way and then again and then again so on and so forth until you reach a few levels exact or to the max that you can properly even expect to encounter the information, as on thr drive, that you seek. This makes it unusable for anything but like text files for the most part but it is a good way to cover yourself without making too much noise. Though if you have anu kind of sensitive media, bc you retards exist, you want to silence people and not the machine so please consider that before partaking in any stupud activities.

Not op, but I did $sudo cat /dev/sdb | sudo tee /dev/sda
Luckily I stopped it beforr it hit my home folder, and managed to copy my shit over before reinstalling my OS
>>768426523
All this advise suggests damaging the Hard Drive.
The best of them is to use a power supply (12V) to damage it?
However that will only get them to replace the HD. You want to damage the Main Board. Then they will replace the entire computer.

Wow, this guy is a fucking genius. Someone award this dude the nobel prize.
You are a remarkable example of a pathetic species.
