Zero. That's either my euid or my IQ.

Tonight we were at the NRH computer labs. The Macs there have not yet been patched against a certain known vulnerability which I am familiar with. I sat down at one, logged in, carefully set up some environment variables and, using my own craftily-written PowerPC shellcode, rooted it. This means I had gained superuser access and the ability to act as a God in the system. Having cleverly used the computer's own complexity against it, I had tricked it and was now able to do anything to it that my heart desired.


...but I couldn't find where the 'Trash' icon was and had to ask Kate for help.
