new program


is there a program that can override a system.
just curious, my laptop shut down and wont start.
and i was kind of having the idea to program a virus, well not virus but a program that could get into every chip, i am already working with microchip on this do you guys have any tips.

Well maybe you shouldn't be trying to exploit a system.

lol, tell that to the kid that graduated from cisco at age of thirteen and currently working for NSA at 16.
since i am trying to get into MIT i though this project with microchip would help me out.

I still don't understand what you want to do....Who is "the kid"? How do you "graduate from cisco"?, and what is "microchip"? (In this context)

If your laptop won't start, wouldn't the first thing to do be to check the battery and power supply? If, instead, you meant that the laptop powered on, but that the hard drive was not usable, then you might try a live CD to see if the problem was just the HD. (Dropping or even hitting a powered-on laptop can sometimes kill the HD.)

In other words, trying to explore the chip architecture of a failed system may be overkill if you're just trying to get it to work. (Of course, if you really want to "get into the chips," you'll need hardware as well as software, and access to the pins on the chip. Such things are available, but usually found on engineering laboratories at universities and chip manufacturing companies.)

i think my hard drive is broken, i dont know how but it is.
its not usable anymore.must be some cracker that send me some electrical impulses. or its just broken. =) lol


Yeah i will be needing some really good equipment to get into those chips without breaking it. thats why i am currently working with microchip.
