    Haha! Whoever came up with that is a genius (A brave one) Trinity security are essentially humorless nazi's, they'll find whoever did it and crush them with an iron fist.

    Trinity security police the web as well? Is there anything they can't do?

    I hope Paddy Prendergast gets a decent pedigree cat and that mongrel that roams around is chased off. It's very common for the master/provost at Oxbridge colleges to have a cat.

    Some inbred house cat wouldn't last one day against a proud tom like the Trinity Cat!

    They may backtrace the IP. Consequences will never be the same.

    We know their IP address, don't we?

    87-198-221-66.static.ptr.magnet.ie
    87.198.221.66

    And the email was probably sent using a software named WebMonitor written in Perl.

    Yeah, there's that one tall dickhead who looks like a failed Garda, but the rest of them are absolutely bang-on. They've never been anything but pleasant to me.

    You obviously haven't had a run in with the 'no urination in public' brigade.

    Chances are it's because he didn't urinate in public :p

    We know the IP and the time the email was sent. I'm sure they have CCTV in CompuB. Whoever can view the CCTV will surely be able to pick out Catman. I wouldn't say it would be possible for ISServices to say "hey, we want to see your CCTV" and CompuB having to comply.

    If it could be done from a publicly accessible computer like the one's there, can't have been that hard to do surely. Also, I'm impressed by the lengths whoever it was went to in order to not get caught.

    Walking across the road?

    Having looked through the headers and done some googling I'm pretty sure I know how it was done, but not sure on some details. There was either some cleverness involved or none at all. And it doesn't seem to have been as impressive a subversion of the system as it might look.

    Bothering to walk across the road and do it from a public computer instead of just using tor or something speaks to a level of paranoia and forethought which I find impressive at least anyway.

    Trinity isn't exactly known for its harsh discipline; I don't think I've ever even heard of Emma Stokes dishing out the harsh punishments, and she was known for being a bit of a wench. Tim Trimble is the Junior Dean now, and he's pretty laid back. I doubt anyone thinks it's worth their while to investigate, but even if they do I reckon the culprit will be told they're a bold boy or girl. They'll be a hero with the student population, though :)

    Chances are he did it while he was in the O2 store buying a mouse.







    I'll let myself out.

    Prendergast did it. He's trying to get in with the students by making friends with the popular people on campus, like Trinity Cat.
