This week's conversation topic

Please read this article about Anonymous' takedown of a darknet child pornography site.

Then, we'll discuss it a bit in class today.

Then, read these excerpts from Warren and Brandeis' article on the Right to Privacy (1890) and consider: is privacy a right, like life or liberty?  Do you agree with Warren and Brandeis?  To what extent did the users of Lolita City renounce their right to privacy?

Then, as usual, please post at least TWO comments to this blog.  The first comment should be posted by Saturday night at 11:59 PM, the second by Monday night at 11:59 PM.

LEADERBOARD!!!!

Here is the current Leaderboard.  I will update this again next week.  For those leading, congrats!  And those that are participating but not having much success, keep up the good work.  For those who haven't participated you are currently earning an F for this game which I will remind you is worth 20% of your grade.

Also, don't forget to comment on your fellow players hacks.  You will earn a better grade in this 20% if you are fully engaged in the game.

Back Track DVD HELP

My Back Track DVD is severly scratched and rarely works. Does anyone have an extra that I could borrow? This makes it tough to do the assignments.
Thanks

How do you get to work?

My Hack this past week was to find out how Capt. Crunch got to work.
I pretended to not know my way around town (which I really don't) and asked how long it took him to get to town.  He was nice enough to tell me he drove and that it took him around 25 minutes to get to BH. This was because class takes place during minimal traffic hours.
This did not require very much social engineering, but more so relied on the kindness of others. Which can be a hit or a miss, especially in Boston.

mission of the week

my was to get the name of a class mate or a friends pet name .
which i already know.

My friends dog's name is Theo
