Security Example 3: Poking Around In Other Computers You used to have an account on a computer at an outside agency but you don't know if it is still good, so you try to login. You cannot remember your password so you try several times, using different passwords. Nothing works, so you try to find out if the system administrator you knew there is still around. You cannot remember her name exactly, so you try several different names. Eventually you give up. Later that day, UW Technology gets a call from the agency's system administrator who thinks that they have a potential break-in coming from the UW. Are you in trouble? |
