SOCA's XP hack

While it may be harder to hack XP with SP2, it is still the easiest OS to break into. Average time to compromise a Windows based system is under 20 minutes, wireless or wired. Neither MAC or Linux is unhackable, but it takes longer and you can't get into everything on the unit, because they are not integrated.
