[AuckLUG] Funky ways of getting where you want with SSH

[Trevor van Bremen]

[Humour response ONLY - I'm not REALLY suggesting you actually *DO* this]

Ask yourself what Simon Travaglia (BOFH - See
http://bofh.ntk.net/bastard.html) would do in this situation...
Perhaps some degree of 'Civil Disobedience' is called for?

Setup a 'rival' authoritative DHCP server / DNS server on the LAN and, since
it's linux-based, you can even set the IP address _AND_ the MAC address of
your NIC to the same one used by the REAL DHCP server.  Use it to assign
your second NIC as both the site gateway _and_ site DNS server.
As for the DNS server on it, make it respond with the IP address of your
favourite porn-sites to ALL incoming lookups.  (The sole exception being to
include YOUR company domain such that it points to the local webserver on
your linux box which displays a nice page stating that the Securities and
Exchange Commision has taken down the site to investigate an "Insider
Trading" complaint.  Don't forget to explicitly reference the name of the
head of your I.T. department on the webpage along with his / her long and
deviant criminal history.
While you're at it, start 'flooding' the LAN with random malformed packets
directed at ALL the current site servers (especially those running the
Redmond Virus).  Let them think they're being attacked by all the other site
servers.
If you can, leave the degaussing wand switched on while it's sitting on top
of the sysop's pile of backup tapes
Finally, enable the WiFi net connection on your 'normal' work machine and
'piggyback' off one of the neighbours.  (You ARE in the CBD aren't ya?)
You have to love the ineptitude of people who are too lazy to even setup
basic WEP on their Access Points!

In summary, just let your mind wander.  Be inventive.
