Heh, I should try to connect with Ubuntu just to see how that works P:
They can enforce it by doing a check at the "gate", before you connect the net. Basically you have to go thru a server or router before you get the net and at that last setup they can have the router or server check for it, and if it is not found they can kill your connection. But you can try connecting with Linux and see if that works, as I doubt they would consider that many computers with linux, unless your at a place like MIT.
Well yea, but I haven't done any hacking. Not only that, but they didn't require a login, the computers were already logged in, and everything. I didn't type anything personal or specific, figuring the mess is keylogged Sure, people looking at their security makes them uncomfortable, but they have no way of finding it was me, particularly on that day. Thanks for the pointer though!
Uh lilwing I thin you should read some hacking articles, because its clear you do not know that much about computer security. I highly doubt they will have a keylogger on the computer. I do know your hacking (yes you where hacking when you where snooping around), was logged by the server with the ip of the computer and most probably other things, like the time where you went, etc. So they can track you down.
