My parents put login time restrictions on our home Windows computer. That's how I learned to live boot Linux.

Then they started changing the wireless network password. That's how I learned to set a wireless card into monitor mode, capture a bunch of packets, and crack WEP keys.

Then they started locking the router in a closet, and plugging it into a "timer" outlet (that itself plugged into a regular outlet) and just stopped letting electricity pass through at certain times. That's how I learned to pick locks.

Now I work on a red team. Thanks for the free training, mom and dad!
