Here I plan to post my slew of technological questions, in hope that by resolving them they won't form misconceptions about certain aspects of the internet, computers, and other mechanical beings.
Answered Proxies. I frequently use the email service at my school, and lets say, I found out the password of a higher employee. Now, I only accessed it twice, and via a proxy. The second time I did so, I sent an email to the employee from his own email notifying the person that they should change their password. (Yes, that's my story. I'm not a mischevious person :rolleyes:. They just happened to be stupid enough to make their password their last name :P). Now, I like to think that I was being a good person by notifying them of their fault, but because of the way the school runs, I seem to think that I would get in trouble for even thinking of trying the employee's password. Now, If that particular employee were to let on that someone other than theirself had accessed their account, I'm sure the tech crew would look into it. I've been told by a friend of my parents who worked at the district tech headquarters that they could trace me even if I used a proxy. Is this true? How could that work? What forms of higher hacking could allow an outsider to gain access to the proxy's logs to see what IP address used it at what particular time?
2- Are there ways to gain access informaiton off sites, even if the sites dont provide the information via RSS feed or other means? Say I want to find out the last post made (or the contents of a thread, etc) on Warboards or any other forum, but (of course) I dont have access to the server or files that provide that information? There are a few PHP functions I've looked into that seem to gather information from sites, but I've never used them nor do I know how they work.
Answered Are there any (for podcast) RSS (desktop) programs, that when a new podcast of that type comes out, will simply download the new file to a folder? Or any other kind of podcasting/sorting tool of similar nature (sorting, such as, it'll download the podcasts, then sort them into a file where It'll mark whether I've listened to them or not)?
That's all for now. I'll surely think of more later >.>
