program to crash a system or corrupt memory

[gofeddy]

I had an interview yesterday and was asked to write a program to crash a system or corrupt it. I tried using arrays by defining a size and exceeding the bound. But he said, the data will be overwritten but the system will not crash.
Do you have any answers to crash the system?

Just use a virus to crash your system. They are all availabe at stock.

[abhijangda]

guys he is asking for the program code not a virus

How about a TSR?

[Faun]

just make fork() in recursion.

That will hog the system to a crawl.

And then system will crash surely.

@piyush gupta, can u gimme that TSR with complete procedure. Even I was asked the same que in an interview to write a code that can infect or crash the system but my clever answer was that " I cant think destructive". I was not selected there (What did ya expected? hehe... )

[sivarap]

will a stack explosion cause a crash of a system?

[piyush gupta]

^^Bddy they are expecting u to just give them idea like me is giving to u


telling the code is destructive

and i dont think legel here
