I'll make this brief due to my hand hindering my typing speed. -.- But I had to post this.
Topic of Discussion:Have you or a friend ever hacked anything? If so did it go completely out of control?
A kid at our school who's a close friend of mine went internet searching, and got a hack program for Novell: The client that manages our school network. He got into the system, got our Assistant Principals Password, and had some fun. I witnessed him log in under our principals user name, and check out our new camera system. (The one kids bitched about at my school?) We witnessed recorded fights, and confrontations. I asked him how he did it, him being the dick he is, refused to let me in on it.
I'm SOOO glad he was a dick and didn't let me in on it!
The next day I heard the news. The fucker got CAUGHT!!! He stayed after school to show the media club (cool club btw. :p) his new hacking program toy. He gave it to two friends. One friend gave it to multiple people. The other came into school thursday and:
-went into class
-turned on the computer
-told EVERYBODY to check out some fights on the camera systems
-gets caught by a teacher without difficulty
-blabs that all the media club knows about it and he got it from the kid.
All three of them are in the deepest shit ever. I hope the kid who gave out the program comes back next year, but he really deserved it. All of them are likely to be fined. The kid who blabbed is a senior who is not graduating now, The kid who gave the program out is expelled from this year, likely next year, and likely fined ungenerously, and the third kid who gave the program to a few other kids is in a bit of trouble. He god suspended or something.
If someone leaks that I've seen this happen and didn't tell an administrator, I may get in some deep shit as well. Maybe a suspension, a detention, or even a fine or something.
Either way it was fucking awesome. He had access to addresses, phone numbers, loads of common personal information, passwords, Social Security numbers, and health information to EVERY student, EVERY teacher, and EVERY administrator. He could have fired his own mother who worked as a school substitute!!
He worked like a fucking idiot, though. He used a public computer in the school, using HIS log in name, to hack in the website, and was tracked the whole time. I was surprised he wasn't caught sooner, but it was bound to happen.
Sucks for those three. :P
Any hacking stories?
Edit: Lol!!!! The school's machine just called me asking if I got a letter concerning computer security!! When I got the letter I was amazed that he made such an impact on the school, but calling to make sure we got it!? This went insane!
Edit 2!!: Rather Cheesy brought up a good point that it would be a bit unfair to expell one for looking at fight videos. I got tired of typing yesterday, so to clear a thing up about that, here's an extreme thing he did with me:
--Tuesday--
Jon (The Kid's name): Hay marc (My name) gimme your ID Number.
Me: How would I profit from this?
Jon: Just give it to me, I want to show you something
Me: Why would I give a person with account-domination power my ID?
Jon: If you don't tell me, I'll find out on my own. You would just save me some trouble here.
Me: Alright, *writes down ID#*
Jon: See you tomorrow.
--Wednesday--
Jon: Here you go *Gives me a piece of Paper*
Paper:
Full Name
ID #
Password
Address
Phone #
gender (lol wtf)
Birthday
Guardians' names
Emergence Contact info
--Thursday--
Me: Where's Jon?
Teacher: lol omg he wuz expul'd
Me: :o
So clearly, he had access to a lot of information that the school does not want revealed about every student. He can still access it f he can access the Novell Network, so I'm sure after the hearing, he will have much more shit on his plate. I do feel sorry for him, because he never meant any harm... I was involved, apparently, and they may track it to me getting in trouble for not telling, so he may have pulled me into some shit, which sucks.
