    Question What is a Boot Sector?

    Greetings everyone,

    As a member of Anti Online, I am fond of the term "Boot Sector" I know that .com is a boot sector if im not mistaken. But first off, what's it's purpose, why do hackers in general tend to write programs to destroy boot secotrs, and finally what is a boot sector.

    why do hackers in general tend to write programs to destroy boot secotrs
    Because something won't start if it doesn't ahve any instructions to boot from.
