The crime? Changing the desktop background to two dudes kissin'. The punishment? Arrest on felony charges.

She sent the e-mails to about 60 students, many of them her friends or acquaintances, asking that they reply with their My Bama university account username and password. More than 40 students responded with that information. 40 replies out of 60 emails is an amazing response for a phishing email.

Cocoa Crispies posted:somebody almost got expelled for clicking around in the Network Neighborhood Back in my high school, it was fine to play browser games or do whatever on the library computers, as long as there weren't any kids waiting to use the computers for actual school work. They usually didn't even mind if you hacked it somewhat, because that allowed the IT guy to see where he could improve the system security. I got detention once, for subverting their block on chat protocols. I think I managed to log in to MSN Messenger or somesuch. I got detention because chatting from the school computers was absolutely banned. They said the reason was that online communities are full of rapists and the school didn't want any possibility of being held responsible if someone meets their future rapist online.

My highschool had multiple access databases of student information on the network share. full names, addresses, ssns, phone #s, class schedules. I discovered this through less than ethical means, so I didn't say anything. I probably would have ended up expelled and in a news article just like that.

I noticed the novell netware "tree" whatever thing on the computers was left unlocked one day and it allowed full access to everything because apparently back in the day if one of the admins typed in the right password it completely opened the entire thing to edits from any account and quietly told the IT guy that this was going on and he yelled at me and disabled my account for the rest of the year

For about four years my school blocked everything except from ports 80, 8080, 443, etc. My obvious response was to this was to set up sshd to listen also on 443 and just irssi away to my heart's content. Rebellious or what?! Even funnier was that we were allowed personal computers into the network, on some sort of guest LAN thing that went through the web filter too. So, there I was, browsing YouTube and e-mails (super verboten stuff!!!) over a SSH tunnel. I think the IT guys might have been monitoring the connections as within a year all SSH connectivity on the guest LAN was blocked. Even on port 80. Oh well, at least the internal school LAN still was able to connect to my SSH server via the use of a lovely java applet.

Cocoa Crispies posted:somebody almost got expelled for clicking around in the Network Neighborhood I had an IT guy in the Air Force tell me to knock it off when I did that one afternoon. Honestly surprised it didn't turn into a huge issue since nobody has anything better to do during peacetime. Was also told when we had to email someone a username and password to put them in different emails because apparently hackers can only catch one email at a time with their butterfly nets, so they'll never get both emails. A few months ago at my school, someone downloaded a movie from a public tracker. I guess we got a letter sent about it and IT blocked internet access to the IP that did it. As far as we knew, IT couldn't tell if it was an employee in our office or a student/random person off the street just connected to our open wifi, that doesn't require any network authentication, and did it. chemosh6969 fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Apr 10, 2015 |

Also socially engineering teachers is p. cool. I managed to wiggle my way to have unfettered access to Gmail, my personal mail account, YouTube amongst others by just saying to a teacher "HELP!!! I NEED ACCESS!!!!!" and because of my trustworthy nature they just the request to unblcok sent it right off. Sure, the IT guy had an argument with one of the teachers because he was thinking that I wasn't going to be accessing Gmail for school work purposes, but still got it in the end.

i have learned from my mom that every parent of someone who was in my class in elementary school apparently thinks I hacked into and crashed the school district/county's computer network when I was 9. This never happened and I have no idea how the rumor started other than that I was a little nerd who liked messing with the computers.

one of the terrible computer classes I took in high school had us doing data entry for the next year's student class schedules. this was done by connecting to the district's AIX DB2 server using a TN3270 emulator with a single shared account (username = password) and starting a form application from the command line. it didn't use shadow passwords. many of the other accounts also had passwords the same as the username. one of my classmates improved his grades and then took basically whichever class he wanted for the next couple years.
