    And also very effective is this: Once in, upload shutdown.exe from
    the RK, and shut the web server off remotely. Once people see that an
    attacker on the web can actually 'turn your lights off', a light bulb
    above their head goes on.
    
    (This is for those who are not impressed when you demonstrate how you
    can plunder the corporate database server remotely.)
