@bavarianbarbarian I was thinking with a baby I easily do social hacking and enter buildings without access cards. · 1 day ago

I can enter any building with my cute baby son, the humans hold the door open for us. · 3 days ago

@half_elf_monk you would not believe me, but there's no problem to smuggle external hardware or any weird stuff into an nuclear power plant ;) · 3 days ago

I think my funniest moments was when I worked as a lab monitor in college. I had the admin password for local machines, so I would regularly telnet in to them (yes, telnet) and turn of javascript if I saw people playing games when they should have been working. The guilty looks that occurred when dolphin olympics crashed were... amusing. · 3 days ago

@bavarianbarbarian - lol wow haha who plugs in unknown / untristed usbs? · 3 days ago

@half_elf_monk true, always attack the weakest link in the chain... back in my days when i was an IT sec admin, i was a real bastard. unlock the locked usb ports, stray some usb sticks with a homebrew fsck you script in the parking lot and waitung until someone plugs one of them in... 'hey there, using foreign hardware?' ;) · 3 days ago

100%. Happened to me once from a person I knew. It provided some unconfortable realizations. Also, it seems like a supporting point for the notion that action is downstream of habits of mind, rather than algorithmically downstream of environment systems, like tech. · 3 days ago

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the BOfH! xD. · 3 days ago

Can depend on the human, but since we're humans and not computers it's probably much easier to get into. · 3 days ago
