Re: Trying to create some Spy Code
After a little bit of trying to narrow down where I'm looking, I think there's two areas that I could influence that would result in what doing I'm looking for.
The computer
The CD
Personally, I don't really have any idea how I would create a self-corrupting file on a burned CD without using some sort of burning program to improperly overwrite the files. This would likely require running a CMD script or something that would automatically run burning software on my CD after the clip was finished in a pre-determined sequence. I don't think code that would accomplish this is within my grasp, especially to run it quickly enough that the user wouldn't be able to stop it.
My next option is to attack the computer itself (I'm testing it on my own before my friend's, so I don't really want anything that I can't reverse later). Off the top of my head, I can see doing this through altering the CD-drive's drivers, or creating some sort of registry key that identifies itself with the CD and, upon autoplay, sets the maximum run times for the video file to "1" (kind of like what commercial companies do when they provide trial software that they only want run a certain number of times before you buy it).
Does this get anyone else's gears churning?
