You are a fool if you do this, and so is anyone who takes you up on
your little "challenge".. Posting information to a public mailing list
offering root access to your box to a bunch of anonymous mailing list
readers for 30 minutes will not garner you much sympathy from a Judge
when some lurker from halfway around the world uses your box as a
jumping off point for an attack on someone else. It is grossly
negligent and short sighted. I hope you have a good lawyer.
