It's in the supercomputing center. How aboug I modify it where a filterimg step is run deleting everything that doesn't match on desired image festures?

Where are you moving it to? You think that even if you manage to hack into a "supercomputing center" that nobody's going to notice 1PB of storage filled with GIFs?
Having worked in a supercomputing center for a detector at the LHC, yeah, you could probably get away with storing a few hundred TBs for a short period of time without anyone noticing or caring. A whole petabyte might be pushing it.
And I learned about it from you people. All of them said security was lax. Most of them said they personally were using the supercomputer for their own stuff at some point.
People working in and around HPC centers. Obviously. :)
And no, it's both accounting and security issue. One guy I know who does security in ASIC's that stole HPC time in the past did it by modifying the accounting system to not show his jobs. It was easy as it wasnt designed to stop accounting fraud by hackers.
