Rofl at this, how to tell when your son is a hacker!

[ferocity302]

OMG Do you mean since we have 4 computers in the house and usually there is at least one of them if not all of them occupied for most of the 24 hour period we are a family of hackers?

And should I be concerned if it's my husband that has this reading material and he has long conversations with my son about "no no no that's not real hacking you'd have to do..." ?

Lets just lable more kids because someone gets hysterical over "abnormal" behavior in a child and jumps to conclusions.

LOL

This really cracked me up when I read it.

Lol i agree with wardogg...
what kinda retard thinks that

Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash".

these are "popular" hacking software..

if the fella that wrote that is true and his family is real...
i gotta say his kids are going to be living at home their entire lives and they might get their first kiss at about 20-30... ROFL

i say let your kids drink, party and do what ever.. they will either grow up a loser or get over it fast.

8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"? -Message by me, ROFL!!! LUNIX!!! AGAGAAHAH
BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

Those damn COMMUNIST!

9. Has your son radically changed his appearance?
If your son has undergone a sudden change in his style of dress, you may have a hacker on your hands. Hackers tend to dress in bright, day-glo colors. They may wear baggy pants, bright colored shirts and spiky hair dyed in bright colors to match their clothes. They may take to carrying "glow-sticks" and some wear pacifiers around their necks. (I have no idea why they do this) There are many such hackers in schools today, and your son may have started to associate with them. If you notice that your son's group of friends includes people dressed like this, it is time to think about a severe curfew, to protect him from dangerous influences.

I knew day glow was dangerous!

Old. The Lunix section still makes me laugh, though.

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a while. It has to be a joke.

[PossumX]

Heck, after reading that (besides being a shade dumber) I must be elite. Funny stuff. My 10 year old son is on the edge, after all, he has had his own 'puter since he was 18 months old, and knows Linux (the demon program according to the above), Windows OS's quite well, and does basic graphix and html/php programming already (I want him to be a plumber or electrician, and avoid the chaos that has invaded the I.T. industry in the last 10 years). I track everything he does via a server that he is routed through, no blocks (yet), but I log every site/IP attempted. Already, there has been some questionable remote calls made. Eyes are open, but he doesn't have the spiked purple mohawk yet.
