USB Stick Damage Impact to CDJ caused by Virus

[sidetrakd]

indeed. so long as the cdj has routines in it's firmware for writing to usb (which i presume it must have) then in theory it should be possible to write some code that can self replicate back to a new usb stick. and maybe make the cd spin faster and flash some led's or something

while i'm sure it would be possible i can't see many virus type writers *bothering* to try it... tho u never know. someone with way too much time on his hands or something.

If this were possible would the same not work off a cd too?

if u can load cdj firmware from cd sure and/or if a cdj can write to a rewriteable cd. i don't know much about what u can and can't do with cdj's. must save up and buy some sometime - but not to try and hack

this is ridiculous, it's like trying to infect a turntable with a virus

Oh it's possible, your turntable is just more vulnerable to human viruses, like when a drunk person comes up and leans on the platter to talk to you. These kinds of viruses, they're still trying to find a cure.
