[AusNOG] DR access for civil litigants, here it comes

[Joshua D'Alton]

Hold up.... this is a "game" which has been built and populated with
metadata far beyond what in reality will be obtained or could be correlated.

And then, apparently a bunch of 12yr olds manage to 'crack the case' in
only 2 hours? Don't know who or why this challenge even came to be, but its
as realistic as "hacking" scenes you see on TV...
