In 1989 I wrote a little hack to turn my .plan into a named pipe. That way - anytime someone fingered me - I could do a netstat to detect where they were coming from.

My friend heard about this and fingered me 10,000 times in 5 minutes, and the computer science department's file server went down and I almost got fired.
