munga bunga recently posted this on his website:
"According to some sources, and what we have found out, HDKP 4
is embedded into the recent versions of Sub7. The codes are in
the software, and the Hard Drive Killing function is only
accessible if you have the Master Password for Sub7. The Sub7
crew admitted to using HDKP with Sub7 regularly, therefore, we
wouldn't be surprised if the rumours are correct.
All in all, we do not mind, and the point of mentioning this
is to inform those who kept sending us email and asking to
validate the rumours. Most of the details were posted to the
Cyber Army message board.". you can check the webpage here
a couple of comments on that:
the post is not entirely correct [again]. HDKP _is_ indeed
embedded into 2.1 bonus [encrypted] but bonus has no master
password. on startup, the 2.1 bonus client checks for the icq
uins installed on the local machine. if uin number 7889118 is
found under the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mirabilis\ICQ\Owners, it will
decrypt HDKP, save it to a BAT file and run it. the specified
uin belongs to Sean Hamilton [a very annoying kid]. HDKP was
intended for him, and it worked perfectly [congrats to munga
bunga]. you can test this yourself if you have a hard drive to
kill by creating a registry key called "7889118" under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mirabilis\ICQ\Owners and running
sub7bonus [WARNING: your hard drive WILL be killed!]. this is
a perfectly safe method to show some people that sometimes
it's better to just shut the hell up.
this also explains my previous post for everyone that emailed
me about it. using HDKP is a very efficient method of entirely
destroying a hard drive [by simply uploading it to a server
and running it].
you can get HDKP from the url posted above, and read more info
about it.
