Re: Having a hacker over, risks?
this is like asking, "I have a whole of cash sitting in my house. My friend is a thief and known to steal cash. Should I invite him into my house and have him stay for a week?"
If he wants at the cash, realistically you're not likely to be able to make it 100% secure. So balance the risk and possible loss that your "friend"* can cause, with the fun and benefit of having your "friend" around. it's not complex thinking. *who the [censored] has friends like this anyway?

Re: Having a hacker over, risks?
If he is any good, and has physical access to your computer, he can reset your administrator password in about 3 minutes with a bootable CD. This won't give hime access to encrypted files (you need the password of the owner of the file for that) but will for anything else.

It depends on how good he is and how secure your boxes are. I'd be more worried about him being in the house with my computer if I'm away. Best bet is to put a bios password on it and keep it turned off when you aren't there. [/ QUOTE ] Which means he has to open the case to reset the BIOS password. If he has physical access to your computer, he can get inyo it.
