    ... to ...

I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you.

Perl: P+

I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it's on my agenda.
