Hi, I was told that you can crash Windows in C++ or C by "corrupting the kernel", and I wanted to know if this was actually possible. If anyone knows if this is possible, or how it happens, please tell me.
>So there's absolutely no way possible for the average person to write to it?
Why in the world are you even asking how to crash Windows by corrupting the kernel?
>So there's absolutely no way possible for the average person to write to it?
No.
>I was just curious, I absolutely do not want to make any type of virus, trojan, or malware.
Anything that deliberately harms your system is, by definition, malware.
Seriously, you'd get more entertainment by using a sledgehammer or just defenestrating it from some tall office building.
Well, the answer is that the "average" person can easily corrupt Windows by randomly writing in the appropriate locations. That's a pretty surefire way to screw something up and make the system unusable. You don't even have to touch the kernel, there are thousands of critical files that can be corrupted to destroy a Windows installation.

I have to admit, I believe you (because i've helped you in many previous threads). And well, we all find ammusment in differen't things, making pranks for a friend (as long as it doesn't damage their system like Duoas said) isn't too bad if it gives a couple of laughs. It will be possible, but I don't know any ways of doing it off the top of my head. Just.. don't over-do it
