So, it is. Hlt stops the CPU until any hardware interrupt happens (eg. timer). But, it's a privilegated command, so it can't be executed in any cpl other than cr0... But it works in win9x (xp possible) cr3 (v86) ?! why ?
(needed just in 256b intros)

sorry cpl0/3

maybe because win9x is not a real OS, you can access anything anytime without permission,unlike NT and Linux

Noway man, win9x runnig under protected mode in cpl0...What is it ? Some kind of Intel bug ?

it's not a bug, it's a feature...

you're not running in a vm there.

Nop, v86 only, but does it related to subj ? I think you cant run cpl0 under windows (acctually you can... :)

priveleges can be distributed.

all your privileges are belong to microsoft

It will cause a GPF, but Windows checks what caused the exception, and if it was the HLT instruction, it will emulate it.
This emulation will only happen under dos subsystem.


You can write a driver (the official way), or you can exploit one of the various bugs (not very compatible)...

r4id!!! DIE!!!!!!

Hehe, you're so funny ;)

i'll quit it now. or well at least when it doesn't make sense.

Ok, and I will cancel my preparations to summon the fiery hordes of bugs from the deepest extent of the address space, from ring 0 of the hellcore itself, at you.
We got a truce here, m8? :p
