It might be the screen inverter, not the backlight. I have people bring laptops in all the time saying the backlight went out, when actually it was the inverter.

I was bored so I wrote this defrag script that will defrag all the volumes on your system.

I was reading last months issue of CSO Magazine and noticed an article about how salting passwords can prevent rainbow table based password cracking. As I was reading the article it had websites that provide free rainbow tables and Hak.5 was listed as one of them! I was like, thats awesome that Hak.5 has made it into a corporate IT Security trade publication. To read the full article click here.

@ DarkSenay Me too. I've gotten cases of Hackstein and Haslinger for $6 before. Lol. One of my friends bought a pallet for 4 dollars a case!

No, thats not where I seen it. I've never been on the Hak5 IRC channel before. I don't remember what site it was on, but it wasn't bash.

IRC is just multi-player notepad

Tell her to treat her password like a toothbrush. Don't let anyone else use it, and get a new one every 6 months.

Finally someone posts about this. It is annoying when I click a thread to read it because it sounds interesting, and the first 3 pages are all n00b bashing because someone asked a question that is obvious to someone else. Everyone needs to remember that they were once a n00b as well. No one is born 1337. In fact, I doubt there is anyone on this forum that can be considered 1337.

Your admin must be pretty foolish if he lets students use the console.
