Makes you wonder what he had on the hard drive... O.o
-
hackers should have all their sensitive data on hard drives with the wires so that its outside the computer. if the cops stomp down their draw, they could have pottery with thermite and a fuse ready to go. they cant put it out. its super hot and needs no air to burn. basically a full proof way to destroy data. how to do that without burning the place down it up to them.

@darthjeff3 I know you said this a year ago, but for everyone else's knowledge I have also experimented with thermite. If you tried to make a knife out of thermite iron, you'd probably have a really crappy blade. The iron at the end of a thermite reaction is not really pure and solid. It's kinda crystalline, lightweight and fragile.

Wouldn't burning those plastics and metals release harmful toxins? (Not meant to sound condescending).

@Morsam1995 it's 8grams of iron oxide to 3 grams aluminum

5000 degrees of awesome

@sonicsn4ke It's legal, all it is is rust and aluminium. We messed around with this stuff in my chemistry class. :)

What can you put thermite in that won't roast in the heat.
Jemalacane 2 years ago
You basically need some kind of high temp ceramic. The flower pots were the cheap version of that.

Where can you buy Thermite? Is it illegal to own this stuff?
sonicsn4ke 2 years ago
You can buy it online from a variety of sources, such as ebay. The temperature required to ignite it is quite high so it is safe to ship. I am not a lawyer, and your municipality may differ, but I believe it is not illegal where I conducted this experiment. However, any damage or jeopardy you cause to others others is probably illegal. In short, don't freak anybody out and you'll probably be fine, but you should check your local laws to be sure.
