At that point, we uploaded a small tool designed to disable any security audits in a way that wouldn’t trigger an alarm. Once the alarms had been disabled, we set up a couple of user accounts with full privileges and changed a few more passwords on other privileged accounts that hadn’t been used in at least six months. Our plan was to move a copy of the latest version of the VMS source code to USC so we could maintain full access to the code even if we got booted off the Star cluster.
