The Anarchist Cookbook had a recipe for this IIRC, called ANTI (Ammonia Nitrate TriIodide). My chemistry teacher was not pleased at the pits left in the classroom countertops.

Re: Nitrogen Triiodide (2016)
#22A fun thing to make. I made this in the high school chemistry room after school. Filter paper with some iodine crystals, pour some ammonia over and wait for it to dry (as I recall). I am not sure where I learned about it. Often my dad, who was a chemist then, would tell me little tricks like this. (He also turn me on to slathering a small amount of potassium permanganate with glycerin.) Anyway, I was walking with it…
I accidentally dropped the filter paper in the school hallway
It's wonderful when "accidents" like this happen.

#23This was a favourite for me at school. Had a great chemistry teacher. Always had something that blew up available.
This was motivational until I did A level chemistry a few years later. He vetoed my attempts to make RDX out of hexamine tablets and normal nitric acid. He got suspicious when I was trying to dehydrate nitric acid with sulphuric acid.
Good job I gave up on chem or I’d probably be dead or in prison.

#24We used to steal Iodine crystals from the chem lab at High School, and set "traps" for the unwary. I have no idea how many clothes we ruined by putting NI3 on seats.
We also wired cans in || and wired up the boys' urinal so that they could "complete the circuit".
Ah, the Good Old Days before Workplace Health and Safety, or MDS.

Yes, its an old one. Inject it into a keyhole.
Kids - do note that the Anarchist's Cookbook is absolutely verboten in the UK at least. My old man was an ATO so I didn't need a copy.
The original AC will be several elements in every wordlist that every intelligence service ever has. It is probably quite close to EICAR in that world.

#26> NI3 has no practical applications whatsoever
And yet almost every comment here is from someone who learnt or acheived something thanks to nitrogen triiodide.

> It is probably quite close to EICAR in that world.
I recall reading some story where the author was able to do a denial of service attack on a system by putting EICAR in it, causing a kind of autoimmune dysfunction.

I think it's pretty clear from context they meant industrially, or beyond edutainment value.

#29Oh wow! Growing up my chemical engineer uncle would come out on the Fourth of July and dump a bucket of stuff on the road in front of his house. A while later when it was dried he'd have us roller blade and skate board down the road to setup all the little explosions. It was a total blast. He refused to tell anyone what the compound was, but assured us it could be easily made. It has to be this stuff.
Do you remember purple smoke?
