- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

The GHackerz, no one would suspect a bunch of old granny's running an elite top tier hacking group lmao
I can hack Facebook.
hits F12
Look, I just broke into their CODE!
'now hack into Dianne's account and unfriend her kids'
Had a random guy that I spoke to at a bar ask me if I could hack a university to forge a degree for him when I told him I work in IT. Even if I could do something like that, it seems like a really risky and unethical thing to do for some rando at a bar.
I once had the knowledge how you could hack a government system to get free fishing licenses. Seemed like a high risk / low reward type of deal though.
I could probably do that in LibreOffice. Like, how hard is it to print out a thing that says "BACHELOR'S OF SCIENCE" in that stupid old school font.
It was a test. You failed 😔

Most of us older computer nerds and coders certainly tried to hack Facebook back in the 00's. To answer Grandma's question, no, we cannot.
Back in undergrad, before Facebook went HTTPS only, I would setup "free wifi" and steal people's cookies for shits and giggles. Use the cookies to authenticate with FB and send random messages to people.
Looking back, I probably shouldn't have been doing that. Definitely illegal.
They were just barely starting to get serious about legislating cyber security, so you were only maybe breaking some laws. I remember in the 90's it was a lawless land. There were no laws against hacking, or at least none that anyone understood, and most sites had terrible security. I gained access to someone's Hotmail once just by trying "anon/anon" as a user/pass combo. I also used to gain access to e-commerce customer databases just by googling certain SQL strings. I'd poke around and then send the webmaster an email letting them know their site was vulnerable.
There isn't a law against hacking but I am sure there are other applicable laws when you do harm while hacking.
There is, it's called CFAA and is absurdly broad. Pretty much any time you
knowingly accessed a computer without authorization
it's technically illegal.

Firefox had a plug in for it!!
That plugin and others that came after, was one of the things that finally got websites to start using https on everything, not just the log in page.

I've gotten this from friends.
I got this from a service technician once. He was like, "So you know code? Say I had my wife's phone, but not the password. How could I get into her Facebook Messenger??"
And I was like, "... So can you fix my drain line, or no?"
Sounds like that guy needs a marriage counselor, not a hacker.
I just get teased by my computer guy because I still use WinZip. Apparently that’s now considered “retro”. Ow my dignity.
