Run and full screen this video, and prank someone into thinking they're being hacked. Or download the video and have it freeze on this, to increase the effect of the prank. What you are seeing is a byte for byte dump of an old Windows 7 hard drive that I've been too lazy to screencap all 7+ hours for to archive for aesthetic reasons. This is a genuine way to either capture an image of your drive--or if you have access to an illicit hard drive, snag files if they haven't encrypted their disk. The audio you are hearing is the actual dd file (the sudo dd if=/dev/sdb disk drive command) that has been significantly stretched out and pitched up by using the Audacity "Raw Data" import feature. It simply looped while I cooked lasagna and laid on my bed glancing at my screen waiting for it to finish. I unfortunately cannot create a backup of this drive, but it did not need one to begin with. simply append of=./filelocation.img to create a perfect copy of your drive if you have the space for it.

Use this video for fun and wisely. This is for fun / matrixy stuff, not actually harmful uses.

You technically cannot extract Windows 7 from this, as all the � symbols refer to a byte value between 128-255, and as such cannot be accurately ascertained from the video. You are more than certainly welcome to try to recover a working version of windows 7 from this (it's a clean copy, at least I think) and I genuinely challenge someone to do so.
