We previously explored the difficulties and limitations of repairing corrupt files. The best way to avoid that situation is with a solid backup policy… but sometimes, the truth is that you need a corrupt file. Maybe you want to test a program, or you're facing a brutal deadline and need to gain a couple of extra hours. The portal Corrupt a File will do the dirty work for you.
“I need it yesterday.” There is no client, teacher, or boss who hasn't thought and/or said that phrase. Unfortunately, time travel is a bit out of our reach, or else we wouldn't have trouble meeting that request. Each of us knows what we do with our time, however, there are times when fate plans something different.
A simple power outage (grrr) can throw your schedule out the window, and we can't “invent” time… unless we cheat. You know: an interruption in power poses a certain risk to computers. Partitions that disappear, Windows installations that refuse to boot, corrupted files…
How to corrupt a file
The Corrupt a File portal has a single function, which is to corrupt any file we upload. Images, music, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, whatever. Once the process is finished, Corrupt a File will create a copy impossible to open or execute.
The rest depends on your skills to convince the recipient of the corrupt file that you have suffered a mishap caused by the internet provider, the computer in general, a hard drive about to retire, or another relevant technical failure.
You send the file, you “meet” the deadline, you receive a message saying that (of course) they can't open the file, you reply after a couple of hours, and you deliver the finished work. Easy.
Needless to say, the ethical value of such a strategy is zero, and it is advisable not to abuse the power that Corrupt a File grants, because sooner or later nobody will believe in half a dozen computer incidents chained together that delay your work. The idea is to get out of trouble and nothing more. After all, teachers are not idiots.
