And I thought me using a keylogger as a teen to access my mom's AOL account was impressive. Clever 6 year old.

  I wish my tech arms race with my parents had been simple...I had to socially engineer my dad into logging into the router on my desktop(no keylogger, just firefox password saving) so I could bypass whatever he was doing to cut me off at midnight.

    In some ways mine wasn't as simple as it seems. My primary source of consistent access to the internet was a 1 hour time-limited, content-restricted AOL account. I had to learn and acquire anything I needed within those confines. Even Google was blocked...I had to use some weird, generic search engine. And I couldn't escape to do these things at school because their computers were even more locked down/monitored. After I got busted for using the keylogger (less than 24 hours later), I discovered the wonderful world of using fake info to get unlimited juno trial accounts (x hours for free!!)

    My solution was much more elegant: spoof his MAC address.

      Yeah, one thing he did was MAC filter me. But for awhile he was changing the hidden ssid by one letter. I was so happy to discover that.

  I rewired our telephone lines so that I could switch off the downstairs phone from my bedroom while using my modem. It took my Dad about two days to figure out what was up and find the switch under my desk.
