But not if you are testing the security of the system as a whole and where

adding additional security features would rather spoil the results. Granted,

I could do it on a system that is not on the internet but that's not a real

life case model and I was always taught to operate on the basis of real life

scenarios (reminisces about the mid 80's when I did computer security

auditing for Lloyd's and others).


Also, I don't care if people look at the front of the site (I'd rather

people waited but as none of the neat stuff is there it doesn't really

matter).


Now if this was for a client who was more concerned for privacy rather than

security the method would be different but in the case of Baby Hippo,

knowledge of what I'm doing is not important,  assurance that all the

information in the system is totally secure is.
