Either:

2. Beat the **** out of him as is your right as his older bother.

those silly proxy websites are easy enough to break providing he's using ie. disable active scripting in the settings for the internet zone. job done

Wow, you're uptight. Firstly, I'm sure you did similar, or would have done. Secondly, live your own life.

I never used proxies when I was at school...

Instead I worked for them one summer and they gave me an admin account

Sounds like ur sharing an account on the machine, which is pretty weak.

Get him his own PC, and nurture his interest in computing - perhaps there's a career in it for him further down the line.

Your brother is 13 and only just worked out how to use a proxy?
What teenage boy in secondary school hasn't or doesn't use a proxy to play flash games and go on facebook at school?

This

Amateur.

Tunnel web traffic over SSH to a home box running a proxy on port 443 (HTTPS).

Nothing you can do about that without some expensive kit/software.

My 7 year old boy has his own xbox360
I hope that he will be bored of video games by the time it matters
He used to love GTA4 - I spied on him playing it:
- eats burgers till he is sick
- walks down the street
- apologises to people if he bumps into them
- is terrified of the police
- carefully drives cars from burger place to pizza place
- never fires a gun
- never starts a fight
- likes to go for a swim

and my wife says "how could you let him play that game" ...
thanks to GTA he can navigate better than she can
If I need to talk to him - he presses pause
if I say "finish the mission we need to go out" he does

no tantrums in our house (except from the wife)

How does he finish missions without fighting

doesn't look like you read the thread, im a married 32 year old, he is a 13 year old living with my mother. no shared log ins here.

anyhow I guess most of you are right...I was little peeved last night and not thinking that straight. I guess it was his smugness that bothered me the most. Im just worried due to his aspergers and little regard for authority and it becoming a little challenge for him.

also just because you lot looked at stuff at 13 doesn't mean its right.....I know this is a weak argument but I hope you see what I mean.

as for the facebook account. I had used a combination of my children's names and random numbers....I guess not random enough. oh well. he has apologised today for it.

Parental controls will just encourage him to try and get round them. Leave him to it and everything will be ok, he's young and learning - at 13 I was doing some amazingly stupid suff, however if anyone had tried to stop me it would have just led to a backlash of epic proportions.

Get a friend to make a facebook account on their computer with just random crap as the pw.

offer him £20 if he can get you the password.

Then you'll know if he can actually get them or just tricked you.

yeah, that's a pretty good way of calling his bluff.

I really hope you are neither a parent or in the position to be one.

i think most boys are about the age of 13 when theydiscover porn.

There was always one kid in the year who could get hold of jazz mags and pass them round at playtime

or was that just my school ?

There you go op.

Tell him to try an get the password.

It's not especially strong or especially weak.

You deffo need restrictions on the net...

I've become a right pervert :cool:

Sin_Chase · 2 Oct 2010 at 16:59

99% of Facebook "hacking" is not hacking at all.

It's obtaining the FB account e-mail and trying to guess the reset password questions for the e-mail account. Then telling the FB account to re-send/reset the password with a set of options which allows you to re-direct the password reset to another fake email account. You log in, remove the original e-mail and replace with your fake and the user is totally locked out unless they contact FB directly.
