( News.com.au ) - THE 16-year-old school boy who cracked the Government's $80 million porn filter in August, declaring it a waste of money, has done it again.

This time he has posted a YouTube video handbook on his blog site instructing kids on how to hack around "all" the Federal Government's filters.

The video shows how to use sophisticated hacking tools to get into Windows program to delete the administrators' password files and get around porn filters.

Last night Senator Helen Coonan's office was denying its filters had been compromised, claiming it was a problem with Microsoft password protocols not the filters.

Tom Wood, the Melbourne schoolboy who managed to embarrass a Prime Minister when he took 30 minutes to get around the Government's $84 million porn filter when Mr Howard and Ms Coonan unveiled it in August, posted the new how-to guide on his blog site last night.
