My 16-month old nephew hacked Lucid

[P1C0]

I usually let my nephew play with the keyboard because it makes him very happy.
So today, as I normally do, I press ctrl + alt + L to lock the screen and I go in the kitchen for just a moment.

I come back and I see he has gone into text terminal mode, but the scary part is that in the password prompt I see sth like:

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmypasswordhereAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My password is >7 figures long with numbers and capital letters and stuff so obviously he did not press the buttons randomly, but somehow it came up in the terminal.
I honestly don't know how.

I found it hard to believe and unfortunately I did not take a picture of it. I'm trying to reproduce it, but I can't.

Is it possible? :popcorn:

Thats how brute force attacks work.:)

Copied to your clipboard perhaps?

He's being controlled by the Matrix.

Copied to your clipboard perhaps?No chance! Thinking about it, it was more than a crashed down graphical interface of the login screen that the proper text terminal mode you get by pressing ctrl + alt + f1 etc.
Additionally he could not have pressed a combination like ctrl + alt + f1 cause his hands are to small.

I tried to get back to the login screen with ctrl + alt + f7, but it was unresponsive (none of the f[1-7] did anything).
So I gave the username, the password, I did a sudo reboot and it was fine again.

I will check the logs actually and see if it is any help.

I bet he used Tracer T. That's a killer hack.

[Charlietje]

thats how brute force attacks work.:)

+1 :p

[elliotn]

lol my 2 years old son always wanna play NFS and he knows how to start windows and choose the NFS icon, I bet one day he will know how to hack

[amsterdamharu]

I don't know if this works on default Ubuntu install but can't anyone with local access to your computer gain root quite easily.

1. boot into recovery and drop to root shell, since Ubuntu didn't set password for root no password is asked (but I could be wrong because I set password for root).
2. Create an admin group user and log in as that user, now with sudo and gksu you have access to all (except encrypted folders/partitions I guess).

Ok, so a 16 month child could not do it but it still is quite simple. There are grub settings that would prevent you from tempering with the menu and or not allow you grub command which would not allow someone to gain full control without knowing the password.

Could anyone confirm this or am I wrong and do you need to give password when going to root console in recovery menu?

[NightwishFan]

Security wise if someone gets on your machine physically it really is all over anyway. (Unless you have encryption). The "recovery mode" not asking for my password lets me reset my family members passwords if they forget them. It has come in handy! :)

[forrestcupp]

So your real password was actually typed on the screen in the middle of random letters? That is kind of scary.

I thought the characters aren't shown when you're entering a password in the console.

It has come in handy! :smile:I believe so too, but to see my password on the screen, having left my desktop locked for less than a minute (you can see that in the logs) is crazy :P

[FoxEWolf]

That is Brilliant!! Hackers start young now.... Kind of cool, but scary at the same time.

[MaxIBoy]

Might your password be some sequence of keys in order, i.e. "qwerty" or "1q2w3e4r5t6y" or some other easily-rederived pattern?

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

I have had computers in my home for over 30 years. There are not a lot of things that surprise me anymore.

I let my children play with my computers when they were young, and now I let my grandchildren play with them. It is amazing what happens when they have physical access to the computer, dragging files and folders around; such as, into the trash, and entering random stuff on the keyboard.

I have computers set up for my grandchildren to play with, and don't let them play with my production computers.

They can really F-up a computer.

:lolflag:

I must say that it doesn't happen nearly as often as it did with Microsoft Windows.

[Old *ix Geek]

Too bad you've already closed everything. I'd have loved to have seen what scrolling back through the baby's input (with the up arrow key) would have shown. Of course there's no way to know now, but it probably wasn't anything as mysterious as we're all thinking it was.

[Khakilang]

He can read your mind and your brain don't have any password. Scary!

[piquat]

Maybe they should change the name to the "Infinite Baby Theorem"?

[P1C0]

Might your password be some sequence of keys in order, i.e. "qwerty" or "1q2w3e4r5t6y" or some other easily-rederived pattern?Oh no, it's an alphanumeric with both upper and lower case letters. It's not the most difficult password in the world, but surely not one you can create by bashing the keyboard :)

Try 'history'

Your nephew is getting back at you for those cookies you stole from him. ;)

Try 'history'I enjoyed the humorous posts :D I've come to the conclusion that -even if I rarely do so and don't remember doing so- I copied the password to the clipboard.

This makes sense in many ways like:


Passwords are stored encrypted in the system
I reboot my machine every 2-3 weeks or so and I can't be sure of how I used my passwords, for example if I copied one to fill the box for another site or whatever
My nephew mostly tampers with the bottom left part of the keyboard and presses Ctrl a lot, so a combination like Ctrl + V is possible


BUT just in case, I take the batteries out now :p

[giddyup306]

If your nephew has enough time to hack into your box you need to get him a play date. :lol:

You could perhaps let your nephew play with linux designed for kids on a live CD such as DouDou or Qimo.

Some how my siblings had gotten my panels to show, while the screen saver was on. When I came back to type in my password, I have about 7 programs running‽ Been there. They basically love leaving me notes while I'm away from my computer. Usuaully ones with random key combos for some reason like:


lsdjad;fjf;kosdfjsjfso;okefnsdla;dklnvkd;jfosfjslf j

but sometimes I get the:

I love you!
That one makes it half way better :-(

[NightwishFan]

Yes, I have had some odd issues with the screensaver. It might be due to compiz.
