I have to agree, but should the system administrator be reading this there is a terribly simple way of doing this. From the description of the network they are running a Microsoft Active Directory based network. If this is a true AD setup, then all workstations would be using the AD enabled DNS resolvers. Even though they are resolving DNS server, you can still host DNS zones on the resolver. Simply create a zone for the domain in question and create dummy "A" records that point to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 or some internal IP address with an HTML index page saying "You Fired!" or something like that. I used to track website URL's that were known for offloading viruses and malware and that was how I blocked them. Made life so much easier!

May be, but I quoted what Pixel said here !

Strictly speaking pixel's statement is not correct; firstly
the passwords aren't stored encrypted (hence a 'decrypt'
is indeed impossible) but hashed. Secondly, depending on
the password quality, length and hash-algorithm used it is
impractical to try and crack the hashes, but it's not impossible.

You could compare it to winning lotto ;} - just a few levels
more improbable.

Many thanks Tinkster, for the enlightenment ! I think I should research myself before blindly trusting the senior members !

Dear Anisha,

Please don't compare Senior Members to Mods :cry: We're not that bad/good/evil/dominant (take your pick if applicable). Both Pix and Tink are mods.

@mods: just kidding, don't take it personal.

Kind regards,

Eric

I actually meant "Senior" w.r.t knowledge and posting quality ! Somehow I used to believe that Pixel, unSpawn, Tinkster, TBOne, Sergei, and EricTra are highly knowledgeable people around and can never be wrong :eek:

That's a huge overstatement my dear Anisha, including me in the list I mean
:)

Kind regards,

Eric

Indeed. I've proven on more than one occasion that I
don't always get it right.

No one is THAT expert.

Of the entire domain of computer knowledge, I myself am genuinely expert at a small fraction of that domain. I am very conversant with a somewhat larger fraction of that domain, and I know how to find out what I need to know in a still larger fraction of that domain.

There remains a significant fraction of that domain where I am nearly or totally ignorant.

Anyone here, or anyplace else, who is considered an expert, will say pretty much the same thing.

Unless they're very young, or unable to notice their shortcomings.
But I'm repeating myself ;}


And "young" isn't necessarily an age-thing.
