I always rename the admin accounts. Then I rename the guest account to
admin on a local machine! lol. But, with the right tools I can see the
sid of 500 meaning that the admin account name has changed.
BIT TORRENT is much nicer then KAZAA
Teenagers need to be taught how to hack. Yeah, I know that some won't
like that statement. But, if they are taught how to hack then they will
know that someone knows more then them. Or if they know something you
don't have them teach you. I sometimes think that is the best way to
learn how to write effective IDS rules. I keep a ZOO all in a separate
network where I can play with all the toys a young teenager would use.
I've learned a heck of a lot on how to monitor my network. I'm more
afraid that a teenager would use the can of air for something other then
it's intended use then letting my son and nieces and nephews on the net.
I do however monitor the types of sites that they attempt to visit.

Eeeeek! Teenagers with admin access! Whenever I get asked advice about
what might be ailing someone's home computer, one of the first questions
I ask is if they have teenagers in the household. No surprise to me, 9
times out of 10 they say yes. I then answer "there is your problem".
For some reason, teenagers just seem to "have to have" every little
software add-on that they know of. Give them 20 minutes with admin
access on a computer here, and I'll find AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and all
sorts of similar programs installed on the computer.
My personal favorite is Kazaa, what a piece of work that is... If I see
the icon for that program on a computer, I'll immediately run a virus
check. Just about EVERY time, I'll pull off dozens or more of Trojan
horses. Why does it seem that teenagers cannot live without that
program?

All XP Home. Not that big of an issue in my professional environments
because of all of the added security measures I have in place (only a
few that have gotten eaten) but you get those people home and all hell
breaks loose... Actually, you get these people home letting their
teen-agers on the machines and all hell breaks loose. Especially the
guys hitting the gaming sites.

What OS are you running? I have thousands of kids using these computers
in ways that would make you pull your hair out watching them. I have
only maybe 2-3 computers per year that get messed up to the point where
a "rebuild" would be necessary (I just re-image instead). Out of about
1200 computers, that is an extremely low percentage. I remember
problems like that with Win98, but WinXP is awfully solid.

One sole reason to switch a lot of my folks: No ActiveX support. No
BullSh!+ making it in through piss-poor security configurations and
eating the machine. 100% of the people I've switched have not touched a
Windows disc since while previously I was rebuilding every 6-8 weeks.
