Odd, my comptuer and friends computers (all XP) require passwords to access \\machinename\X$ where X is any drive letter. Maybe you guys have security problems between the chair and keyboard? Did you create administrator passwords?

To expound on the security "issue" with default shares....

The only way one could add a connection to a share on an NT-derived Windows OS without having to authenticate is if the local security token (username + password) matches an account in the remote SAM database. In other words, if you're logged in as administrator with no password and you "net use \\remote\c$" and machine "remote" also has an administrator account with no password, it will be successful; else, not.

It's an entirely different game with Windows OS' that do not have SAM databases (i.e. they have those horrible pwl files in the %windir%).

Additionally, the only way to add a connection to a remote box for which you don't have a valid account is through a dictionary attack and/or brute force. I've written command line tools for both methods, and I'd be happy to explain the method for those who are curious. There are other available tools such as nat that perform similar functionality.

I bleached my eyes followed with an iodine wash when i saw goatse.

After tubgirl, I just gave myself a partial lobotomy, and plucked out my eyes to replace them with webcams. I have all input put through a net nanny filter so it will never happen again.

I'm not going to link you to the page because it's grounds for being banned, but do a google search and prepare to enter an entirely different stage in your life.

You thought you had seen it all before....

On most routers you can set up to a dns Server. Just setup a dns server on your network and have it point to that which resolves to goatse. or if you are linuxly inclined set up a packet sniffer and start logging all his stuff then find out his email address(he/she probably will log into a website and the sniffer should pick it up) and start signing him up for porn. and if you are really luck sniff his password. and when sgning him up for porn agree to recieve it.
