Plot summary
"Dogwalker" is the story of a man who cracks into a government database by logging in using a system administrator's password. He gets caught because he logged in correctly the first time while the administrator always deliberately failed his first log-in attempt and logged in correctly on his second try.

gollark: Oh hey, I wonder if anyone has tried to apply machine learning™ to Geoguessr-type things. That could be fun.
