I am donating BadBIOS infected laptops, flashdrives, tampered live fedora CD, infected personal files (plain text files, MP3, PDF, jpg, tiff, doc), infected external DVD writer, etc. to any one interested in conducting forensics
Forensics is fine, I suppose, but wouldn't it be better to donate them to some organization that you don't like? The reelection committee for some politician you don't like, a lobbying group whose position you despise, or a charity which is conspicuous for high overhead might be deserving recipients. (Not on topic, but I never donate cash to charities or other not-for-profits. I've done various support work (as a paid consultant) for quite a few NFPs, including work on their accounting databases, and every single one had funny business going on with the money. Not necessarily covering up pilferage by corporation bosses, though there was some of that, but always overhead that was much higher than reported. And usually the total compensation of the bosses was much higher than reported, if you include non-trivial expenses like paid-for cars. I'm not interested in putting money in the pocket of someone with three times my income while they poor-mouth to get more donations.) -- Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet. -- Arnaud-Amaury, 1209
