How to hack KidControl

Today my little hackers convinced me that using KidControl with time scheduling is waste of resources.
They found that KidControl uses the time coming from the client computer to let http requests pass or not.

I checked, and it's true.
Non-http ports are not even blocked (didnt check which ports are open).
Further verification of the behaviour pending ...
(ROS 6.49.10)

I am interested if that is also the case in ROS 7

I can't believe this is the case. But it would be a real shame for MT when really implemented this foolishly...

Kidcontrol uses simple queues, based upon MAC address.
