A Rust program that demonstrates how to trigger a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) by manipulating system privileges and using the NtRaiseHardError API.
@5mukx
This program demonstrates a technique to trigger a BSOD by:
- Obtaining process token with necessary privileges
- Looking up and enabling the shutdown privilege
- Adjusting token privileges
- Raising a hard error using NtRaiseHardError
- Uses Windows API functions for privilege manipulation
- Demonstrates proper error handling
- Interactive user prompt before triggering BSOD
- winapi
- ntapi
- Compile the program using Cargo
- Run the executable
- Press any key when prompted to trigger the BSOD
The program uses several Windows API functions:
- OpenProcessToken
- LookupPrivilegeValueA
- AdjustTokenPrivileges
- NtRaiseHardError
This program is for educational purposes only. Running it will cause a system crash and data loss. Use with caution and only in controlled environments.
