Give me two socks and a camera, and I could do something.

Nah, it's a fairly common php bb style though, there's bound to be scripts that take advantage of it. And we did get boned bad when TK losers hijacked phong's account too, remember?

There's been a lot of stuff implemented since then. It's not so easy to hack this board now.

Have a very nice day.

Most people are talking metaphorically when they speak of 'grooming the Wookiee'

Not at all. I consider myself as a developer not a hacker. To me hacking is usualy a waste of time and resources that could be used to write good software.

Besides one will rarely improve their programming skills by hacking. This is a truth I learned in my early days as a programmer when I used to be a wannbe hacker. I learned more about computers by developing desktop applications than by writting malicious software.

What I am saying here is a friendly warning not to be overconfident in your security measures , I am not making a threat.

Question: Why would you want a sockpuppet for public comps?

One reason is that supermod passwords are hard to memorize.

That, and public computers should not be trusted. They may have all sorts of nefarious devices like keylogs on them.

Sadly enough, a search for "sock puppet porn" on Google doesn't turn up any. Here's How To Make a Sock Puppet instead... it's more relevant to the topic of the thread anyways.
