Selene wins

Sunday, September 14th, 2003

I use a program called Sharescan to search the Windows network at Mudd. I have found students sharing archived mail, friends' backup CDs, photos of themselves naked, and entire hard drives. I usually look through the data to determine the owner and remind them that the Windows network is for sharing music inform them that they're sharing data that they probably weren't intending to share.

Today Selene told me over AIM that my shared folder was world-writable. Then she told me my printer was also shared and printed a page saying "Wuzza!" using my printer.
