Hardware cheating or “There is no reception against scrap, okromya other scrap”

Good day.

I want to tell you a story about how you can read not only at the software level, but also at the hardware level.

Pre story

Late on a quiet evening, when not only the weekend came, but also holidays, looking for what to play on android which game you can download for the child, came across a very primitive toy, where you need to gut an egg. But the egg is not simple, it seems not golden, maybe titanium, but for a very long time it had to be pounded. For a long time, this is not 2 minutes, not an hour, and not 1000 beats, this is a whole million. “Yeah,” I thought. It seems to have already forgotten about her, but one thing did not go out of her head - this is her description "Awesome surprise is what you want for you not whit it out !!! WHAT IS INSIDE !!!"

Began to reflect. If it comes to that, then probably there is some kind of protection from cheating, and so simply the number of blows you don't “wind up”.

Hardware cheating

After pondering, experimenting, I noticed that she very quickly reacts to "a blow." Then I remembered King Julian.



Here you go. It remains to find someone who will "wave his hand" - that is, ticking on the egg. Or something that will tick on the egg.

And then the idea came up: an engine, a “wet pencil” (finger emulator) and a bit of “blue electrical tape”.

Attempt first
Finger emulator: a pencil with foam at the end, foam rubber dipped in salt water.



Engine (found in the drawer). Lucky, even with a small gearbox



Mount



Test run
But as the blue tape was not found (I had to replace the rubber band) - nothing happened. Since the gum was very tight holding the pencil and the pencil was too heavy (for this engine) - then I suffered a fiasco (and almost lost my eye).



Attempt second
Wet cotton swab + clothespin. However, just a wet salty cotton swab is not suitable as a substitute for a finger (probably not enough "capacity"). It was decided to wrap the foil. I got the wiring at hand, tried it - it worked !!! ..





The tutorial is ready



And yes, a million is a lot. Counting showed - at this rate 43 hours of continuous knocking are needed. "There is no reception against scrap."

"... okromya other scrap"

Everything turned out to be much easier than expected. We do root rights, we look, where the program saves this value, we change it, we save, we start and we look that there such “incredible surprise”.



I also thought about the software emulator of the crash - but it didn’t come to him.

PS If the wrong section, tell me where to move.
