• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It's absolutely un-Christian.

Not only is it illegal, why you would want to violate the privacy of someone's computer is worrying.

That said, for academic and professional reasons and circumstances, it's absolutely fine. If you're working as a penetration tester for example it's your job to find weaknesses, but it's done with consent and in a controlled environment.

Your best bet would be to get an old computer or run a virtual machine and do it that way.

Most social networks are spying on your data which I consider no different to hacking a network to get it.

Yes you could but it's always proof to test it on a working system in the wild.

I agree with the social network things and there are governments doing the same, but who are we to condemn if we sink to the same level using their wrongs as justification?

And yes, a random computer is and would be best, but that doesn't mean to say you can't simulate most of that in a VM or on an old PC.
