Cray Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 blue-screens your enemies In case you were wondering what industrious hacker [Joe Grand] was doing when he’s not building stuff for Prototype This!, designing Defcon badges, or testifying before congress, it’s this: The BSoDomizer is a VGA pass through device that displays an image of your choice on the victim’s screen. It can do this either periodically or via an IR trigger. The image of choice is a Windows style Blue Screen of Death. It’s powered by a watch battery. The project site has all the schematics you need plus ASCII goatse imagery; you’ve been warned. Embedded below is a demo of the device. We unfortunately didn’t get to see it when it was originally presented during Defcon 16. http://www.bsodomizer.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'll let someone else click on the links to something called bsodmizer.com, since I'm at work and you have 3 posts :) But it's sounds interesting, however impractical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexthedrifter Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It is legitimate; sounds like a cool device. You could use shock images to get them to jump xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sablefoxx Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'll let someone else click on the links to something called bsodmizer.com, since I'm at work and you have 3 posts smile.gif But it's sounds interesting, however impractical. I saw his talk at defcon, awesome little tool, its not practical for any use other then playing a prank on a friend (does no damage to the target compy). The remote IR operates using the Sony "OFF" code, also used in the Defcon 16 badges ( also designed by Joe Grand). ---Planning on getting one if i can. This is a legit tool and works, the site however is NSFW! (though it is just ascii) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarchyPizza Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Would be funny to just spook people while they look at pr0n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sablefoxx Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 My understanding of it, when i saw it at defcon is that you can edit the code on the device, and change what it displays. Any luck doing so mubix? Segment on the show perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any luck doing so mubix? Segment on the show perhaps? I am not much of a hardware hacker. So I doubt it will become a segment. But I am making a video on basic functionality.
