    While at university, we used to have machines which were not properly
    configured. Most of them had "xhost +" enabled as default. Well this led
    to some interesting possibilities:

    1. export DISPLAY="machineip:0.0"
    2. xlsclients -al [Gives you a nice beautiful listing :)]
    3. xev -id "IDoftheWindow" [This allows you to see what the user in an
    xterm is typing"
    4. And there is always the xkill -id "IDoftheWindow"

    Well I guess there are thousands of other possibilities. All you need to
    do from having someone do this to you, is give the command "xhost -"
