Years ago when DDoS tools were being distributed on 4chan I fixed a bug in one of them and redistributed it there.
My fixed version also had the handy feature of having a 50% chance of wiping the user's entire drive if they actually used it as part of a DDoS.
It was pleasingly brutal. First it would zero out and delete all files in the user's home directory, and then if it had access to the hard disk device it would overwrite the sectors directly from the start onwards. If not, it would iterate through all other files and corrupt whatever it had access to.
I'm satisfied to report that hundreds of script kiddies had their data irreversibly destroyed before my handiwork was noticed. I hope it was a valuable lesson to them.
