I wish I could do something like that. Alas, as 1 of only 2 tech literate kids in my school I'd get caught pretty fast. :(

[QUOTE=Fujitechs;36872861]People use the word "hack" too loosely It irks me[/QUOTE] The definition has pretty much been changed by ignorant people by now.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;36874054']No it is not, that is phishing. The word hacking is thrown around far too much nowadays.[/QUOTE] Ignorant tech-illiterates who make up most of the population changed it's meaning to a lot of them something like guessing a password or getting around easy security seems hard

Insane soccermom

my school's password to almost anything was the initials of the school then 1-5

When I was in elementary school if you pressed the function keys F1 through F4 it would act as a "master password". Of course, I wasn't smart enough to do anything malignant with this information at the time.

I give the mother a C++ for her efforts.

It's saddening that the kids/teens currently in schools today are dumber than their parents. Society's fucked if this trend continues.

However, this stupidity has grown extraordinarily worse. You've got kids not watching/reading the news, kids that don't know what a thunderstorm is, etc. I could go on and on.

This just reminded me of the time in work experience (In an IT shop) and one customer didn't provide the password, but they had a password hint, it was "Wifes name" After guessing womens names, turns out it was carol For some reason, the other techs thought i was some master of computing. No i am not, it was just simple guess work.
