That was actually less daring than it sounds: In this type of setup, I knew, each terminal is plugged into a port on the computer itself. It wasn't rocket science to figure out they had set up the five terminals in the conference hall so a visitor could log in only as a nonprivileged user—that is, logins were possible only to accounts without system administrator privileges. It looked as if there were only two routes: either bypass the security software altogether—exactly what the LOCK-11 was designed to prevent; or somehow get around the software in a way that the developers hadn't imagined.
