Yeah, that article was pretty lame...

Most of that stuf was done the hard way...  Easiest is just to look over 
somebody's shoulder...  *grin*  Seriously, if you're going to go through 
all that trouble you must be pretty desperate for an account.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it was interesting to see HOW the author got 
tty spoofing to work, but I wouldn't bother trying it even if I DID want 
an account.  Give me a nice reality hack any day...

If you've got root, you can do anything.  It is VERY possible to intercept 
packets off the LAN and get any info you want.  But if you've got root, 
why do you really WANT all that info? My experience has been that once 
someone gets root, they pretty much give up hacking out accounts...

god, I sound like such a pessimist...  *grin*
