Videos man, videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/strandjsgmail
A few months back my dad asked me the same thing. For the past few years I gave the vague answer "computer security." However, he was persistent, so I showed him a video about bypassing AV with Metasploit. Then, he got it. He forwarded that link to some of his friends. They, then, repeated the process... After a few weeks I get an email from my mother where AOL as deemed a new virus a CRITICAL!!! There is nothing they can do about it, etc... Do you guys get this? I mean, who gets their Internet virus news from AOL? Anyway, it says "here is video to prove it!!!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScTCJ88rplU I open my sandbox and click the link. Crap.. It's the video I sent my dad.. Now, when I visit my mom at work there are lots of uncomfortable looks, people pull their coffee in a little closer.. And there's pointing.. Dear God, the pointing. But on the flip side.. I don't get asked to fix personal computers much anymore. You could also do this: C:\>sort "%x %x %x %x %x" Nice 504 trick. Spend ten min talking about what a format string attack is and they will leave you the hell alone. On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 1:26 PM, Ali Alhebshi <[email protected]> wrote: > ARP poison them.
