wow... my school still one ups that in a way...
When you get enrolled in the municipal education program (from the lower grades through college and any other education) they give you a login to this huge novell network that is available from all the municipal buildings. You get a 15MB "personal folder" and your login username and password are both set by and admin and you're NEVER allowed to change them, you can request 150MB space if you are enrolled in any IT related classes.
The username is the first 6 digits in your SSN !? plus your first two initials in lower case.
Great choice! Now no one will be able to figure it out!
The password is worse, always 4 lowercase letters followed by two numericals.
They assign a class with the same letters but different numbers, so they don't have the same...
So to figure out a classmates login, you look at the class list of names, that lists your date of birth, which is the first 6 digits in your SSN And the full name of each student.
Then you just go enter fake34, fake 35, fake36.. an so on based on your own password.
If you also happen to have a class list printed in the same order as the admin had you can see how many numbers away the classmate is in the range.
Really hard to get into that system...
These IT techs are full of otherworldly WTFs. Their latest feat is installing Open Office.org on some of the computers instead of the far too expensive microsoft office (that they already own licences for)
