Last week's test was obviously worthless, as anyone with any knowledge of security will tell you. Why is it that some people hate a computer platform so much that they jump on any opportunity to try to mock and discredit it, even at the cost of supporting and backing erroneous claims? |

It was downplayed for a reason, because the test was not exactly just. He was giving them shell accounts to begin with, meaning they were already inside the machine.
The real test, which was this one, is to not give anything to anyone, and let them break in.

The problem is when kids like you assume a lot but they actually just talking out of their bottom prts.

My point was about the fact that nobody mentioned if a simple user account can be elevated to root then possibly anything with user credentials can get root too. |
