Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default password protecting a file on your computer

say you got a file on your computer, with your stuff in it, is there a way to edit something, or add a file into it

which will make it ask for a passwrd before you can get into it?

(jsut a simple form of protection i realize, but if you could help me it out, it would be appreciated)

use a copy of PGP that is new enough to have the PGPDisk partitioning utility

this not only protects files, but the utility creates an imaginary "drive" that will completely disappear and reappear w/ your pw... full stealth computing...
