Actually it reads /etc/passwd, cracks the root password, posts it on 
slashdot, subscribes you to 10 child-porn web sites, at least 2 of which 
garunteed to be government run traps, and then settles in and commences a 
DOS attack on a randomly selected .mil site until whichever of the several 
bees nests it stirred up gets their swat teams to you first.

But that's nothing! Check it out... the server it's running on, It's not 
even in a Faraday cage! No really I swear! Someone could idle up in a van 
any old time, and aim a magnetic sensor at the building and decode the 
leaking RF and read the whole system. We don't even have vibration proof 
windows either so every spoken conversation in the building is wide open to 
those laser reflective mics too. The other day, I happened to be near the 
front door, and there was a knock at it, and I almost quit right there on 
the spot out of sheer incredulous disgust, someone just got up and opened 
the door wide open, just like that, no retina scans, no 7 part passphrase 
interrogation, didn't even look through the peephole (don't get me started 
on the existance of a peephole!) , Just heard a knock, opened the door, and 
received a mysterious package from a guy in a poor immitation of a UPS 
uniform and didn't even notice the barely contained glee in his shifty eyes 
as he cased the joint.
