These tricks simply use your own hardware against you. Nothing below will actually harm your PC. They are only intended as fun (which they are) and in no way do any damage whatsoever to your computer. It's all just a trick, folks. Fake. Not real. Illusionary.
Want to scare the crap out of your friends? Just put my famous "Scary Hard Drive" button on your page! (This simply browses your own PC and displays the contents. I am NOT accessing your computer!!!!!!!!!!!)
It's simple really, it's a java script thingie that, when clicked, displays the contents of the viewers' hard drive on their browser screen.
The possibilities are endless....I have one on my home page that says "Password Only Site". Of course, that only makes people want to click it! It used to say "Email Virus Launcher", but that got too many flames from stupid newbies.
Here's the code:
<!-- Put your own special comment HERE!-->
<form action="FILE:///C:/" method="GET">
<p align="center"><input type="submit"
value="Password Only Site"></p>
</form>
Now, here's an even nastier version. (It really belongs under
Netscape Bombs, but I couldn't resist putting it here!). When the button is clicked,
viewers get an error alert that reads: "Error: 107x has occurred. A virus has begun
to infect your hard drive. Please erase all infected files." When they click the
"OK" button, the following error alert pops up: "Please inform the the
hardware vendor of this error." If that's not enough, the next error alert reads:
"The problem has not been fixed, the browser must be shut downtown to prevent further
contamination." And thus you have an annoying Netscape shutdown bomb!
Example:
Panic Button:
Here's a nifty little trick that will freak people out....all it really does is create a color bomb on the page, but label the button creatively, and wait for your visitors to panic!
BALLS! Like the bouncing balls on this page? Copy the source and use for yourself!
By the way, have you checked out the status bar? It's fake, but really nasty good fun!
