I might be getting another person arrested

During the summer of Sasser, Blaster and other similar worms, more than half of the computers in the university department where I worked were compromised. Not by the worm itself, but by a French hacker who exploited the vulnerabilities. The victims included my boss (one of the IT heads) and several, several staff and faculty. The hacker installed an FTP and IRC server and several users connected to upload and share DVDs and music.

So, I'd have to agree with LoKe. I'd certainly approach this situation with suspicion, but there's always a possibility that the user didn't know. Granted, the FTP share used by the hacker was buried under several obscure folders and this doesn't sound like the case.

I wonder how common it is to find gay porn on someone's pc who "isn't gay".
hehe

Years ago I stopped by a co-workers house after he begged my to help him with sis PC. He left me alone to do my thing, and of course I found he had been trolling for gay sex. I never mentioned it to him, or his wife, but the experience has definitely eliminated my willingness to offer PC help to other family and friends. I really didn't care, but I surely did not want to know either.

O/P, good call on involving the police, I would have done the same.

OH SNAP, music mixed CD alert!

IIRC it wasn't full of kiddie porn, just the legal kind.

I had a room mate once with a huge JPEG/MPEG porn collection that was meticulously organized into several folders.

2GB in a folder titled "straight porn"
4GB in a folder titled "lesbian porn"
10GB in a folder titled "Beastiality"
12GB in a folder titled "SHEMALES"

My recollection is that it was kiddie porn... but I'm not sure how to google that without looking like a perv.

Well, a lot of straight guys have lesbo porn, that's for sure.

If you're implying that a lot of "straight" men are 100% gay, well, I doubt it. I bet there are more of them with gay leanings than are willing to admit it, though.

I assume he did that just to trip people up?

Or was it serious?

Anyway i fix it and flip it on. let it boot up. the background was a picture of a 8 yr old with "toys" etc. there was a few diffrent folders.

Again, horribly unlikely for someone to be that stupid. I know there are a lot of dumb people in this world, but no one would willingly give up a computer with child porn as the damn wallpaper.

You will be amazed at how stupid some people can be. They don't have a program called the worlds dumbest criminals for no reason.
