Covert Channel Exploit in ICMP Packet!?

If your just looking for help and not a story, scroll to the bottom of the post :)

Well the last few days have been difficult. I tried to log into my Hotmail the other day but was told that my account had been blocked for sending spam, then an alert came up from my security telling me that a "covert channel exploit" had been detected. Well that was a worry, i got the feeling i had been hacked straight away.

After long conversations with my family and a lot of interrogating about what websites i have been going to, we decided it would be best to take the computer to an expert, but first my mum thought she would try googling the problem, which i thought was a total waste of time but i was in trouble and not about to argue.

Well here comes the morel, the Internet told my mum that this is a standard problem with our security, and that with a few simple steps we could solve the problem, and then we did. Whatever you do, if you find a problem with your computer, don't make the first thing you do to tell your parents all of the websites you have recently visited that you think might be dodgy, don't make your first idea to go and pay a lot of money when it may be something you can sort, and last but not last your mum is always right, listen to what she says.

Parents arguing?

Well i personally think that a kid should never have to listen to their parents arguing, trust me have listen to enough of these arguments and it can only ever upset a child so i have a few things to say about this topic:

• Firstly, if you are a parent and you are reading this, take this from the perspective of a 16 year old girl who has listen to years of her parents screaming at each other, it isn't fair on your child and if your gonna argue do it away from them.

• More importantly if you are a kid and your parents start to argue take some advice from me go into your room, close the door and play some music and text your friends because the last thing you want to do is listen to that. And if they ask you questions or guidance that they are in the right, please don't give your opinion because it only comes back to get you!

Why not to meet the parents

I'm not saying that you should never meet your boyfriends parents, in fact i think it can be a brilliant bonding experience, not necessarily the other way round as girls parents can be very protective but a boyfriends parents always seem to be welcoming to a girlfriend. The problem is when you break up.

I think if you are under twenty years old, its not likely that you will marry the guy and a break up will likely happen. When i first got together with my ex boyfriend i used to go to his house nearly all the time, and of course because of this i would see his parents a lot. They are really nice, i liked them straight away. Then his birthday came around and his dad asked me if i wanted to go out to dinner with them, and before that he would have a driving experience. I was really excited to spend time with them as part of the family, and whilst he was driving i spent two hours getting to know his parent. We talked about so much, and they even joked about getting him to but me an expensive birthday present. Afterwards we went out to dinner and the night ended very sweetly with him falling asleep on my shoulder.

Fast forward a month and he had broken up with me. The breakup was hard but I'm finally starting to get over him, the thing is his sister is a good friend of mine, so i still see his parents a lot, and every time they smile at me, and wave through the window of their car when they see me walking. Its really hard to respect the fact everything is over and then smile at his parents and listen to their stories.

Valentine's Day

Today is the day to spend with the one you love, or at least the one you like. I’m sure not everyone has heard the story of Valentine, and I’m pretty sure you don’t want to but one thing I will say is it is the love story that was so powerful, people still honour it today.

So use today wisely, if there is someone you like, today is the day that you should tell them, it’s not too late. If you a guy, this is the day when most single girls wish they had a guy who was interested, and if you’re a girl, I’m pretty sure guys would want a date too!

So take a risk, it doesn’t have to be expensive, just give them a card to show them you care, maybe you might get a date!
