He may have telnet'd in, and then mounted the remote drive on the remote machine... like if /dev/hda1 wasn't mounted, he may have gone mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/foo, and then navigated through "foo"... but I daresay it's impossible to mount a remote drive for local access. He could have SCP'd something after mounting that remote drive...



and you are real funny embro1001 and by the way i'm learning binary thanx for the motovation.
Yeah... I didn't know that you didn't know the actual joke, or I wouldn't have said a thing. As long as you're learning binary, you may as well look at hex as well. In my opinion it's easier to convert from binary to hex than decimal to hex (since binary is usually broken up into 4 bit chunks, which are easily represented in hex, i.e. 1111-1111 = F-F, because 1111=15, and F=15).

Then, while you're at it, you should take a crack at assembly (or HLA, which is a bit easier, but still gives you the fundamentals), that way you can put your new knowledge of binary and hex to good use.

Then, while your doing assembly, you could take a look at C, because you could make cool assembly functions that you could integrate with it (using SEP/SEP).

And gee golly wiz, by the time you finished all that, you could look down on your uber-1337 friend and tell him straight out he's wrong, because you'd have more skillz than he.

Or you could just tell your friend to STFU... that usually works where I'm from.
