When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

I'm no computer genius like a lot of you here, but I thought this article was funny and informative because it shows screen shots and talks about what programs were actually used for hacking. It gives a great visual for people who know of hacking but don't know how it's done.

Hope you enjoy!

Hi T Simon, other than having a link posted that doesn't work, you might want to pull this post before one of the Moderator types stumbles across it and fusses at you about it.

I say that because it is against policy to post anything here that would aid anyone in "Hacking, of Cracking" into anyone else's stuff.

Just MHO there Boo.

Hi ThunderZ, "RATS...!" Well actually that's a good thing. The "RATS" thing is because now I'll have to open IE to watch that video, my FF just won't let any of those things play.

Glad it was cleared though.

That is wi-fi network hacking which is the easiest form of hacking. But again, on a site like BC no details encouraging hacking should be posted.
All those excited teens please note, that it can lead to prison where you would find a cell-mate named Spike.
