Yesterday I caught my son, Jack, hacking my computer. I had just turned off my laptop, closed the case and was getting something from the next room. This gave Jack ample time to scurry onto the couch, open my laptop and start looking intently at it. This is where I first noticed what he was doing.

“Meh, its turned off. He can’t hurt anything.”
“BEEP”.

“??? Um, meh. It’ll go through GRUB and land on the GDM login screen. He can’t hurt anything.” I move a little closer anyways…
“Jack what are you up to?”

The little guy had somehow gotten Root access to my Laptop!!! This is bad for two reasons:
1.) I have a security hole that I was not aware of, and
2.) I have a natural on my hands…

My wife actually snapped these pictures the day before yesterday. Wonder what he did to my machine then?

You have a beautiful little boy. One of my son’s just turned 9 months and he already wants to play with the keyboard.
Just tell him to ‘hack the planet’ lol
