Mine happened not so long ago.

I gave this guy a trial account, and I check it the next day, the guy only went and uploaded three '0-day-warez' titles.


I mean, thats just pathetic, the guy did it in trial time aswell!! :mad:

A bump back to the top for the use of one of Webster's favorite words = "sucky".

That is why you do not give trail accounts. Suggest you instead use a 15 or 30 day money back policy. If they are serious about hosting they will give you a credit card number.

If they are serious about software piracy they will also give you a fake cc number.:angry:

Yea, how does someone go about dealing with fake credit card numbers? And how do you find out?

check with your processor, if all green there still, check with their bank (always get bank name/phone) if you still haven't weeded out the suspicious client, phone the number they give you :D, warez kiddies never have enough balls (or stupidity) to use their own phone numbers.

Warez kiddies are little nerds who hide behind their pc's ;)

warez kiddies hmmmmm 2 of them got expelled from my old school, they really used their brains, they hacked into school network, installed warez, hacked into someones msn account (the ex sys admins account) and told loads of people what they did !

When I was at school a few years back, we where in IT class and we had just got a new touch screen whiteboard which was connected to the teachers computer at the front of the room who just happened to be the sys admin at the time.
He put his username in, and pressed Caps Lock instead of Tab on the keyboard by mistake and so the entire class seen his password on screen in BIG LETTERS.

The next day three pupils got expelled for coming in early and messing about with his account and the rest of the class, including me, got a months detention for seeing his password :eek:

A months detention for his mistake? Seems fair to me! :rolleyes:

Thats not cool. Detention for his stupidity?

Hahaha, I bet you wish you didn't go intoschool that day, huh? :stickout

Oh wow this brings back so many memories from highschool. I used to hack right through their stupid program right infront of my teacher and seh was so stupid she never even realized what i was doing. also we would mess up the program so the system admin had to come in and type her password to fix something and we would have 4 ppl that sat aroundt he computer to watch her typeing and get her password. We got it and had some fun with the program. We didnt screw up anyhting just disabled logging on our comptuer and also set it so that we could download any programs we wanted and use them. It was fun...my teacher hated me because she knew we were doing this but didnt know how to prove it and she liked us to much to get us in trouble lol. We were the only ones in the class that new more webdesign stuff than she could ever dream of knowing so she had us help her with the class so she didnt care if we hacked as long as we didnt do damage lol. Funny thing is i think the program was called Fortress and there are so many back doors hidden in it that it was so easy to get through.

My High School used a few security programs on their Novell network. It worked fine until you realise the passwords the school was using.

Passwords in use on the school network included:
- OK
- chocolate
- bingo

I didn't have to watch for the password because I'd get called around the school all the time to fix computer problems (according to the teachers, the "network admins" they contracted were useless).

The University I currently attend is a different story. They have a nice network with just about every application you could think of available for use.

You can install your own programs, but the machines have everything wiped automatically (Norton Ghost) in the evening.

All workstations (with the exception of the Unix and Media labs) run Windows 2000.

Password security is one of the biggest security flaws in many places. I won't reveal the name of a company I spent some time at a while back (one of the world's largest computer companies) - the admin password for many of their building servers was "skills".

Here we use obscure passwords that are changed on a regular basis. As an example, one of my old ones (no longer in use) was "PbWjxodmDQ".

LMAO i think the pass at my school was like cheese or something lol

That's pretty funny - I'm about 90% sure my old HS used the same program. I remember there was some key combo like ALT-F1 or something that just turned the thing off.

Those were the days.

They use fortress when I was at school as well. The IT teacher was so pleased with it and was always bragging that only he could install games and play them in his lunch hour. That was until he got up my back so I decided to take it off every computer that I used, then he gave me a detention so I told all my mates how to do it in the year below me just before I left :)

The way I used to disable fortres was:
1. insert normal boot disk and restart.
2. edit the fortress command out of autoexec.bat on the computer

:D :D :D :D

LOL yep that will disable it. LOL have to love the public school systems and the youth of today. We youth...err....old youth... were smarter than the teachers and im goign to teach my kids to be smarter than their teachers too oneday. My kids will be little school hackers LOL.

haha, i remember something of that extent, except there were easier ways around the ones we had. Ours had some command to access the floppy (to format a disk or something like that, can't recall), we just hit ctrl + c a few times and it killed the batch file and dropped us to DOS.

It was funnier when they did an upgrade and forgot to set a password, they didn't figure out what was going on for about 2 weeks, it was hilarity, sneaking into the library (only semi-unmonitored location) and playing around with other pc's, setting the fileserver cache's to 16kb, silly stuff like that).

my middle school oak grove middle school used the master password "ogms" <- initials of the school if you are slow...
