Is there a way of letting them connect to a sacrificial sandboxed machine, and use the link 'backwards' to their PC and fill it with nasty stuff :devil:

'Format c:' would do.

what is sandboxed ??
 
In IT terms, it basically is the equivalent of a real life sandbox for kids i.e. you can do anything with / to it and it doesn't matter because it is not a live or production machine.
 
I was thinking of giving them a Lindows build to play with... I had a vm of that lying around somewhere... or maybe a Win3.11 build...

Either could provide quite a bit of fun!

A sandbox is like a panic room in a computer. No matter what nasties are on the outside, they can't get in.

Other way around ;) A sandbox prevents all the nasties within the sandbox from getting out. Nowadays, this is usually done on a virtual machine without network connectivity to the host.

If it all goes wrong, you just delete the virtual machine and it's all normal.
