Later that Morning

Flir carried the Controller laptop back to the campus restaurant for breakfast . He ordered a Red Bull, a short stack of pancakes and a tall order of social security numbers . Sitting down with the first two, he pulled out his controller laptop and logged into the Rogue laptop. First, he logged in with a new stolen account, tsmith and hoped that it was the last stolen account he d ever use. Once he logged in, he started his bstrobell shell. He edited the source file in bstrobell s siram/code/ directory and prepared to push the script up. He waited until 7:50 and executed the scripts/publish-siram.sh script.

After five minutes, the new application code was processed , transferred, and in place ready to run when the application restarted at 8:00 am . Flir started up a browser across the ssh connection to the rogue laptop and sat in extreme nervousness and anticipation, waiting for the application to start up. While he waited, he exited the bstrobell shell, leaving himself in the tsmith login.

At 8 am , Flir ran a curl command, requesting a class schedule and setting his session id to 404280206xc492734fa653ee9077466754994704fL.

Flir grinned ear to ear as the curl processes showed over 560,000 lines of output with social security numbers and contact information for over 40,000 students. He stored the output on his Controller laptop. After all this effort, he had finally gotten everything that Knuth had requested . Now all he had to do was clean up behind himself.
