Probably my favorite hack I've done so far was when I rescued my computer from utter annihilation, it had winXP and like 509 viruses and (i know it's not that big of a deal) but I installed arch linux first try as a first distro... then i got rid of it because i couldn't get kde functioning properly so all i used was xwindow-manager... but what about you?

Getting into the school AD Administrator account after the douchebag of a SysAdmin told me I would never amount to anything.


He had alot of work to do after that.

Getting a girls nudey pics off her email duhhhhh I l33t. I get a lot of grief for wanting to learn how to hack from my college buddies so one day I decided to crash the network while they were all taking tests. Needless to say they were not impressed when they had to try to access our network for part of the test and it was down.

I think I would have to do the same if a SysAdmin said that I would never amount to anything, I've had teachers that gave me zeros on stuff because the computers wouldn't work, makes you want to totally f*** up their windows systems lol

Well I remember another thing. It is from a school.
I had this brainfucked teacher for IT. She didn't even know how to write in pascal or pronounce "boolean". One day we had an exam on computers and she dug up from God knows where these DOS programs that was made a decade ago for IT students to test their knowledge and shit.
I didn't perform well, because honestly - it was pathetic (and too old to understand) so at the end of it, the program crashed. Teacher, before the exam, said that if we close the window BEFORE showing to her the result, we'll get a 2 (10 score scale). So yeah, my program crashed.
But then I thought - she's stupid, maybe I can deceive her. And quickly shown her the fake error message through the CMD and said that these programs usually leave logs!, she told me to find them.
She believed and went away. I found some old IE cookies, copied some of it and changed a bit to say my name and the grade I got.
Of course it looked to her so bad-ass that she believed me and wrote the grade down.

This is just one of the better wins with that retarded teacher xD

Network wise, I got a remote shell on my IT professors computer, then got extra credit for explaining to the class how I did it, and how to fix it.


But, the hack that puts a smile on my face was hooking a Glade Sense and Spray air freshener up to the internet and making my house smell good from anywhere.


Kinda off topic:
I don't consider this a hack, but it is still funny. My room mate has ubuntu, so I installed ssh on it. Then I connect to him and use espeak to fuck with him.
When his friends come over and use his laptop, I do the same thing to them, and they really believe the computer is talking to them.

Most rewarding? Hmm, well the most rewarding was when I hacked my school's wifi password. I guessed it then like 3 weeks later they changed it. After they changed it I got some of my friends to take me to my school. I booted up bt5 on my notebook with reaver. It normally takes about 4-6 hours to hack it, but this only took 12.3 seconds. Not even joking. From then on I was known as the l33t h4x0r of my school. Shit was so cash being invited to senior parties when I was in the 8th grade.

I'd have to say when I got my high school's admin passwords, or yesterday when i got into an old employee's account. He was an old school hacker so he all sorts of nifty little tools and such. Plugged in my flash drive and now they're mine :)
In high school I changed a lot of redgistry stuff, and group policy. Just little stuff, like fire wall settings, a hot key to blue screen a computer...People had no idea what was going on.
Then I got suspended....

Me and my buddy (Zulu) were working on a python script at school on his laptop that we were making to gain access to wifi networks and get admin on them and then take them down if we wanted. So we went to test the script and it put a back door for us into our entire school boards network and then crashed the network. It took them 3 days to get it online again! And we still have admin! That was not my best hack but it's the best I'm aloud to say of.

+1 that is the most epic hack I have ever heard of.

Mine: well there was a time when an ISP I had was charging ridiculous amounts of money ($40) for terrible service (less than 50 kbps when they promised 3 mbps). So I poked around and got snmp write access on all of their switches and routers. I didn't do anything after that but it felt good. Then somebody threatened to sue them for not meeting their SLA and service got much better.

Well it's been an interesting read so far. Here is my story. My room-mate and I got into an 'argument' about the internet we were both paying for. He claims that I take up all the bandwidth by playing games all day(really games take less than 100kb up and down usually; nevertheless it's insignificant) so he gets smart and decides that we should have two separate connections. I don't agree with this, however my room-mate is ignorant and stubborn so I let him have his way w/o too much fuss. This is where the fun begins.

The way our network was set up we had our gateway with two wireless routers(one for him and one for me) with one acting as a bridge. So he straight unplugs the router I was using. I thought fine and proceeded to type into my linux terminal:

while true; do aireplay-ng -0 6 mon0 -a $BSSID; done

and have a nice day..

After the larger part of the day spent trying to fix this issue, my room-mate eventually came to me and apologized and things went back to the way they were. Linux, you my only friend.

 I have 2. DDoSing my school web page my freshman year in highschool (from an admin account, of course). It was hosted on a local server, which is also the default gateway for the school. needless to say, i crashed it. Along with the whole school network. Probably not the smartest thing to do since i live in a military community overseas. The second wasn't really a hack, more of social engineering. The period before my java class this year, someone i dislike (cause he's an asshole) keep leaving without logging off. So, naturally, i made a batch file to wreak major havok on him (stuff like deleting his documents folder. it's only homework, after all ;). when the teacher finally asked me about it (like a month later), I said it wasn't me, bs'd my way out of it, and fixed it. Got some extra cred for helping out a classmate, too!

LOL I did that once, too! And the other students were asking how I did it, and I just told them to press the shift key several times!!! And they were so impressed too!
But my best hack was when I figured there was a bug with the RAT program out teachers used, which allowed me remote shell access, and exploiting that bug, I was able to shutdown my teachers computer plus about 20 other teachers randomly!
But I was not as lucky as Techb. I told my teacher right away about the bug, and told him to fix it, but instead of getting extra credit, I almost got yelled!...
Another one was when I tried cracking the admin password by booting up ophcrack on the dell laptop in our school, in the middle of the class while the teacher was lecturing, and got caught! Imagine me, and 20 other students, in the class, everyone silent, and the teacher asks me: "Hey what are you doing?"... Fortunately, I got away, playing innocent, telling him that it was just my "own operating system!" lol

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

My most rewarding hack was related to a firewall too.

I was on the Cisco academy, and they had everything Cisco... except for the firewall. The teachers were good, but the network administrator of the place always behaved like a jerk. He even claimed he was a hacker. When I plugged my USB stick on one of the computers, it infected my USB and when I reported that, he claimed it was my USB who infected the computer back. Too lame to reckon he infected it before deep freezing it. Plus that software sandboxing is kinda lame (sorry if I offend any of you, not my intention), I own some hardware-based disk-freezing devices I consider better.

Anyways, the firewall. Facebook was blocked and I nmap'd the gateway, found out it was a ZyWall, known by its buggy framework, I added several "%20" (spaces) to the URL, it couldn't process it and bypassed it. The trick I admit, it was lame yeah, but an administrator "of his grade" should have used the budget for better hardware, it wasn't tight anyway.  ;D

EDIT: Ah yes, and the "hacker administrator" claimed to be an OWASP representative. Oh boy.

In school we were playing around with all sorts of crap on the network. Everything about the computers and network was garbage. We had the admin pass that worked on the majority of the district-wide network so we'd screwed with people on VNC (which was configured to use the local admin pass, and was on every computer). NetBIOS was sweet because we would use the remote directories to send files. "Hey, I need that function for the code", "Sure, lemme copy that to your desktop". Eventually in my 4th year I found that we edit services remotely so I tried putting together a script to a bitcoin miner and then start it but I never got to finish it.


The other best was a persistent XSS in my friend's site. My script changed the page background to dancing banana. Not very impressive at all but the laughs we got out of it were very rewarding.

I am new to this forum and it has been quite interesting so far :)
I haven't rly done any big hacks BUT

My first experience with computer security would be when i was borrowing my school administrator one of my ASP books he showed me some of the script for the school website, by accident i saw a peace of paper with the password for the ftp server of the schools website. So i went to the classroom logged in and inserted a comment in the the bottom of the source page, went back to him and asked him to look at the source of the schools website. he laughed and changed the password. about a week later i noticed that he had auto login to the ftp from his ftp software, so when he went to get coffee i decrypted the hash string from his .ini file :) ofc when he got back i told him he should lock his computer when hes not there someone could easly find [andthepassword]. he just looked at me and shuck his head and changed the password. next time i did the same this time he had changed the password to my name backwards andcked that just made my laugh. think thats my best memory of how it all started.


many years later when i has in upper secondary school or gymnasium as its called in sweden i had a guy who broke in to my computer and added some folders to my desktop named "you" "have" "been" "hacked" "by" "the" "best". have still no idea how he did it because i dident share anything. anyway i started C&A sniffed out his password to 2sites one community and one mail. i changed the password and recovery email of the community added one of my email adreses insted. a hour later i got a begging email from him telling me he was sry for all the trouble he had coused me and begging for the password back to his community :)

Most rewarding personally would be hacking my ex-gf's mail account to find out if it was really true that she left the asshole she started dating shortly after me  ;)
Hey, I was just a lill' kid then. She hurt my feelings!  :P

Most rewarding technically was gaining access to the core switches of a rivaling company as well as gaining access to the backup server of another rivaling company.

Haven't done many big hacks, most of the time people just leave their doors wide open and I happen to knock on the door.
Don't have good strategies to hide myself, using free WiFi at mcdonalds is not the best idea as the place is secured with cameras.

That was probably my first, most-memorable but not most-rewarding "evil" thing i done :)

Long time ago i was thinking: hmm, sessions and files are uploaded to the /tmp ...

That time i had hostingas.in hosting. So i wrote up simple PHP script, like a shell, to scan /tmp and other folders not blocked by open_base_dir ...

I was shocked to see:
All the session files and their contents. That allowed me to session hijack any account for hostingas.in, or other hosted site,  extract passwords / usernames as many programs store it in the $_SESSION array;
Uploaded files (MYSQL database dumps, images, php files, emails and etc... who use /tmp as temporary storage)

I could rewrite session data, delete files, (i wonder how many users got pissed for getting logged out, loosing their files) and other stuff.

When i had my fun i told them to fix it. But guess what, after month a company was bought by another company and here we go again...

You can use this , i believe you can call this exploit, on many lower-middle quality shared hostings.
Moving on, i had scanned almost all system of hostingas.in as their open base dir restriction was not perfect, and using bugs / workarounds i could bypass that. You should check the version of Apache and PHP host is running and search info how to bypass it. Also search info about PERL hacks for /tmp. If you are lucky and you can execute the file - you have all power (http://programisiai.lt/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Not really rewarding, but the most hilarious 'hack' I ever did was when I used to deal with Remote Admin Tools about 5 years ago and did a lot of skid shit.
I was talking to someone over MSN who was completely computer illiterate and I file transferred the RAT in a zip archive.
The guy was high as fuck and I kept opening his cd/dvd drive and flipping his screen upside down and he was like "WTF, Jason help me, my cd drive keeps opening!"
I was like, "Chill man, you're just tripping, everything will be fine"


Got some good lulz out of it.  ;D

I've only done once something,that can be considered as a hack...

In IT we learned HTML and CSS and so we had to make our homepage,wich will be hosted on the school server for a year. I asked the teacher to enable PHP to,so I could make more advanced sites, but I also uploaded a PHP script wich copied the passwd/shadow files into a public_html folder,so I could download them. A few days later I cracked them with john,so right now I have access to all accounts of the school server...
I also have a second script that inform's be about new accounts through checking the /home dir,and downloading the new passwd/shadow and cracking it,so I automatically have the pass to new accounts too...

Accessing my high school computer system with the school's vp username and password.  Done with a C-128 in C-64 mode.  This was back in either 88 or 89.  I deliberately got sent to the vp's office because we all knew that school officials kept their usernames and passwords on their computer screens.  I could then edit school schedules and grades and personal files for the vp.

Accessing admin privilege at my college by helping the admin open the computer lab and then using a room mirror to watch him type in his username and password.  Upped the privileges on my school account.  Didn't really do much else with it.  Gave me free printer access though instead of 5 cents per page.

My favorite was explaining to an idiot in my Army unit how to hack into the credit union on post.  I didn't have to report him.  He transferred $10k into his account and withdrew it the next morning.  He was arrested a week later by Army CID because the CU noticed the discrepancy in his account.

Accessing several political party websites.

Also at my (former) school, I was commissioned to design the school website after Microsoft announced the end of their Office Live service (yes, they actually used that). I recruited a friend of mine to help a bit with forums and configuration, but mostly make me company. We were excused from periods constantly throughout this time, and were called to various teachers' and staff offices frequently to make status reports and gather information, so we saw a lot about how their systems worked [some of these documents had some curious info].

Either way, one day we found out their (rather pathetic) password to one of their educational project emails. We decided to test it on their main one, and found out it worked. There is a lot of juicy info in there that could seriously put them at risk if leaked. I recently found out from my friend that they opened a third email, once again with the same password. So basically, we control their website, their three email accounts and have all sorts of insider documents that they voluntarily gave us (I have moved since then, btw).

Now I know this isn't exactly a hack, but the point is they trusted us... perhaps a little too much. No social engineering, they just gave away everything to us like that.

Now I know this isn't exactly a hack, but the point is they trusted us... perhaps a little too much. No social engineering, they just gave away everything to us like that.


Seems like social engineering....

The only hack I've ever done that I wasn't the victim of got me suspended from the school's computer.. Basically all I did was secure one of the computers as my own by putting an admin password on in through BIOS. Then I used a win7 repair disc to get access to the administrator account on the computer, and then used that to get to the network administrator's account. That account had the password for the wifi on it so I made up some BS about how I cracked it and handed it out to everyone. After a couple days a teacher noticed the locked computer and automatically blamed it on me cuz nobody else knows how to use a fucking computer here -.-.

My rewarding hack was when I had to install TinyLinux on an antique laptop... with floppies, lol.
You can read the documentation here (http://newage.ql.lt/blog/compaq-contura-410c/) and here (http://newage.ql.lt/blog/fixing-my-retro-computers-part-1/).

There's so much crap from the past that's awesome & interesting that I couldn't possibly list them all(can't even remember them all).  So I'll offer a small selection of things that I do recall.  As most of you know, I'm long-winded so either brace yourself or skip the post.

    Once upon a time, back in the good old days of the BBS, a friend & I had 'hacked' an office building through a series of social engineering, building custom equipment, wiring the equipment into the building, etc.  It was one of my favourite early complex hacks.  Now that most of the businesses no longer exist, I feel it safe to share a little bit about it.
    The target was an office building not far from where I went to school.  This particular office building is the type that holds offices for different companies.  You usually have one company that rents out an entire floor or so or occasionally a floor that is split between a couple different companies.  The target building held offices for a small law firm, a document processing company, an insurance company and a company that developed, sold & supported voice mail systems.  Of course, our primary focus was the voice mail system company, but being the ego-driven kids that we were(I was 11 or 12 & my friend was 16), we figured it'd be most excellent to take over the entire building and secure our place among our peers as masterminds.
    The hack started out with me going to the office building every day after school for about 2 to 3 hours.  This continued for a week or two until the lobby staff began to recognize me easily and relax when I was around.  I started out by bringing my Atari Lynx(damn, I miss that thing) and playing it for a while and then going outside to 'play'(which was really my excuse for disappearing out of sight without anyone 'knowing' who I 'belonged' to).  After a while, I decided to start bringing homework so that I could occasionally ask for a pencil sharpener or something to spark minor social interaction with the staff.  Eventually, they became comfortable enough that I could just continue past the lobby into the rest of the building.  At this point, I worked with the assumption that I was someone's kid, whilst carefully avoiding specifying precisely whom.  Soon, I was able to convince some people to let me type on the computer and since I was young, minor annoying sounds provoked them to put me somewhere secluded where I could play on a computer without interrupting anyone's work.  That is when I started hacking the local network and eventually put my friend on payroll using one of his fake IDs.  Then he started coming into the office as some lowly evening janitorial staff and we started hacking away at the rest of the building.
    In a couple instances, we had to use money from my friend's paycheck to buy some small equipment from Radio Shack to do things like tap phone lines, run new cabling, etc.  I eventually got the idea to use an office equipment distributor to deliver new equipment to us and bill it to one of the businesses in the building.  This also gave me a good excuse to introduce myself to other offices by carrying equipment between floors.  The distributor would deliver it to the building, to the floor they were supposed to, where my friend would sign for it.  Then we would slap a delivery label for another office on the box and I would hand carry it there, convincing them that it had been delivered to the wrong floor by accident.  Finding the candy jar on every receptionist's desk, I would help myself and strike up a conversation with whomever sat there.  This way I could pick up names in the office and even find a way to copy signatures("Hey Miss D., can I do something to help?  I'm really good at stamping, do you want me to help stamp some stuff?  I was the best stamper in grade school.  Oh, is that a paper for Mr. J?  I could take it to him if you want.  Does it need to be stamped?"  They always gave in.).  They tell me to deliver a paper, I copy the signature on it on my way there.  The assumption that I'd stop to bug some random person on the way meant they didn't ask what took me so long and I was rarely ever expected back.
    We used information from the voice mail system company to take over some VMBs at other corporations.  We were able to set up call relay on a few of the VMBs and eventually used some of those to connect to BBSs.  Through some private exploits that we'd developed for a few popular BBSs, we were able to take admin on quite a few and some of them actually provided dial-out access.  My friend got the idea to patch the BBS software so that file uploads would be copied to another system.  Since we had access to all the companies in the office building, we used their file servers to store all the data.  Since we didn't want the BBS to dial directly into the offices where we were, I used some of the VMBs as storage mediums.  The BBS would, when it received a file, store the file locally and when done, dial out to a number that would always go to voice mail.  It would then essentially fax the uploaded file as a voice mail and the VMB would store it until it was later retrieved by the office systems we were using as file servers.  It worked quite well for almost a year but eventually some BBSs would update or the chosen VMBs would be changed or phone numbers would get reassigned(I can only imagine what someone would think when they checked their voice mail and received a fax in their ear).
    It was 'rewarding' because we were able to get A LOT of useful information quite easily.  We got source for some major office software, private exploits(there wasn't really a 'release' concept back then so "0day" wasn't a term we used), important business documents for some local companies, etc.  The greatest thing was that, since we started this whole process by social engineering our way into the office building and eventually used that to get my friend a 'job' there, the companies themselves paid for the hack against them and we actually made a monetary profit too.

    Something unrelated(but I just remembered whilst I was reliving the above); there was a time where a different friend & I were trolling a BBS whilst we hacked it.  One of the BBS admins, respected by all the other admins as well as the rest of the membership as the best one there, just couldn't avoid trying to make someone look like crap in front of everyone else when they showed the slightest hint of noobishness.  So we decided that the greatest distraction was to play the noob part whilst we hacked not just the BBS, but his personal machine as well.  Toward the end of the conversation, we told him that we would go but we didn't want to leave it like that.  So whilst I distracted him with my 'making ammends' SE work, my friend grabbed a picture of a piece of pizza, copied it w/ an office copier, messed up the paper w/ some folding & rips, copied the messed up copy and then faxed it to him.  He laughed so hard and made fun of us for trying to fax a pizza and fucking up the fax machine.  It literally took him like 20 minutes to realize that he'd never given out his phone number.  As soon as we realized he'd figured it out, we disconnected him from the BBS, changed all the admins credentials, took over the BBS & announced to everyone that they'd been a great audience and if they had any complaints, they could call his number(at which point we publicly displayed his name, ph#, address, etc.).
    It was rewarding to get revenge on an asshole who needed to be put in his place.

    Yet another funny story; one time I got caught dumpster diving and I ran from the security guard(who was some distance away).  I turned the corner and promptly ran into a pole, knocking the wind out of myself and falling on the ground.  When the security guard caught up, he made sure that I was okay and then asked if I could describe the hobo that pushed me over.  Apparently he thought the guy he was chasing was older/taller and because I was a kid, he never suspected me.

This just happened the other day, not even a hack at all but I got 10 high-5s for it :D

There was a short power surge that hit the entire town last Wednesday, lasted for about 15 seconds or so. My home network completely freaked out and it took me about 20 minutes to get everything reset in the right order etc., no big deal. The next day (Thursday), I go to work (grocery store) and our credit card machine in lane 1 wasn't working (error message: "no connect"). The manager came and called the manufacturer and went through a multi-step troubleshooting process that ultimately failed, and she gave up after about 40 minutes of playing with it. She told the manufacturer to overnight a new machine to the store because we only have 2 lanes in the store. She was on her way to her office when I caught her and told her to ask the owner for permission to let me play with the machine and see if I can get it working. The first step I took was browsing every application on the machine and seeing which ones did what, resulting in me knowing how they work. There was a pinging tool. It offered the options to ping the server, the backup server, and a few other servers like Gate City Bank and Citizens State, etc. Pinged them all, no response. For some reason there was also the option to ping the default gateway, no response. That immediately told me it wasn't connected properly to the router, so I went to tell the boss man that I figured it out and if he'll give me access to his office I'll fix it. He said I have 5 minutes, so I had someone unplug the machine in the front, I turned off and reset the router, plugged the machine in again, turned on the tills so he wouldn't notice that I shut down the internet, told him "of course this will work" because I'm "soon to be microsoft A+ certified", tested the machine and it was good to go. Took a total of 11 minutes from the time I asked to play with the machine. All I was given was 10 high-fives...I should raise my rates -.-

@Geoff; I've become less quiet than I used to be.  Every community is a new twist or experiment for me.  I've been pretty successful in some areas.  Certain communities like EvilZone, SecurityOverride, Intern0t, r00tsecurity, GNY, Digital-Deception, etc. are more public than others.  Even the older days w/ SoldierX, CyberArmy, HDC, H3R, TFUI, ph33r, most of the groups that were somehow related to AxeNet, UnixHideOut, etc. were somehow mild experiments.  I've gotten a bit better at it since but then these are different times as well.  Unfortunately, some groups like CyberPhaze, BlueHell, CyberKnights, GBoCS & the like didn't survive and the experiments were lost.

Defacing Gov related sites not public shitty sites, which had a very limited amount of Vulns, is standard work when all other attacks fail. If there had been bigger vulns they wouldve been abused but I settled for what was do-able at the time. In general though I agree defacing is pretty lame and is up there with the fagtards who DoS and think it makes them a hacker or the idiots abusing SQLi vulns and just Dump/Leaking/Defacing mass lists of websites owned by some poor sod who cant afford a decent website.


In danger of sounding like a arsehole though to the attempted "Flame" you did, please name one hack yourve done comparable to the defacement of a high level gov site like NCISS? I mean my contributions to hacking are well known, from the Pentagon hacks to the outright making of Py based tools for the hacking community... have your actions been of as much use as mine? I mean I fail to recall any impressive Hacks or Tools tagged with "WirelessDesert" ;o
*Edit - Lulz you -Karma'd me for owning you with a logical smart reply? I guess you dont like being pwned, See when I Google for "WirelessDesert Hack" it doesnt show anything yourve done, yet "NovaCygni hack" gives heaps of rewards.... Hacked websites, Stories about me and Tools ive released... So my contribution to Hacktivism clearly outshines yours ^^

Well there's this wifi internet service in school and you have to buy expensive vouchers to use it.So i did a portscan,found ssh was up and running,guessed their weak credentials and dumped the shadow file.Then i logged into their Miniserv service,dumped some of their databases,logged into the R.a.d.i.u.s service as admin and now i browse for free. Pretty rewarding if i may say. ;D

Another method you couldve used was DNS Tunneling using Iodine, which btw is a useful skill as itll allow you to use any "Pay2Use" Hotspot for free :)

Well I remember another thing. It is from a school.
I had this brainfucked teacher for IT. She didn't even know how to write in pascal or pronounce "boolean". One day we had an exam on computers and she dug up from God knows where these DOS programs that was made a decade ago for IT students to test their knowledge and shit.
I didn't perform well, because honestly - it was pathetic (and too old to understand) so at the end of it, the program crashed. Teacher, before the exam, said that if we close the window BEFORE showing to her the result, we'll get a 2 (10 score scale). So yeah, my program crashed.
But then I thought - she's stupid, maybe I can deceive her. And quickly shown her the fake error message through the CMD and said that these programs usually leave logs!, she told me to find them.
She believed and went away. I found some old IE cookies, copied some of it and changed a bit to say my name and the grade I got.
Of course it looked to her so bad-ass that she believed me and wrote the grade down.

This is just one of the better wins with that retarded teacher xD




Since so many seem to be going with their High School days i figure i will as well. The stuff i pulled in her class.....better yet i have feedback on some of it from when my sister had her 5 years later! such as if you so much as MENTION the word quake 2 in her class room, she writes you up and sends you to the office. You see i kept loading quake 2 on all the pc's so me and my buddys could LAN up and shoot each other during class, once every few weeks she would go through and delete it. Finally i got tired of this and loaded it, hid it, changed all the proper names of files so it couldnt be searched for, changed picture icons, went in the registry and removed it from the add/remove programs list, basically made it impossible to find unless you already knew where it was. Lets just say she does NOT like that game...


Anyway thats not even close to my favorite that i pulled in her class. Since we were on our own LAN separate from the school their was no central logs to worry about(not that i would of had to considering our admins loved me, we would hold after hour's lan partys in the library...or screw with students profiles etc. good times). Anyway this time it was a C++ class with the same teacher, and we had a couple of prepy kids who thought that i was in their domain still. they would do dumb little stuff like unplug my keyboard or mouse or send netsends with very original insults like "fag". after a few days of this i shrugged my shoulders and just batch filed them. for every one message they would send me i would send 10k back. lets just say they got annoyed.


 Even better though the leader of this little group of two thought he was soooo smart one day sitting behind my desk "talking" to the teacher and watching my screen. see  he was going to learn how to do what i was doing to him! So i purposefully bring on a fresh notepad, type very slowly, copy and paste the message very slowly, then very slowly save it as a .bat file.(even though i already had 3-4 hidden away on the system and no need to make a new one, i wanted him to batch file me so that when i stepped my game up it was deserved :P) So right after he stops talking to the teacher and runs to sit down by his buddy and they start talking in a whisper and typing on their keyboards, sure enough 5 minutes later here comes a batch filed netsend. Which is when i implemented the next step: batch filing the teacher as his PC cussing her out. so now the teacher while having no proof in logs to show they did it, is watching them closely, so i keep batch filing them, but not as my pc, but as each others PC. so it looks like they are attacking each other. "hey man why are you batch filing me" god i laughed so hard.


Anyway after several days of this (them batch filing each other and the teacher) the dude just looses it in class. gets up and cusses me out, cusses the teacher out, and leaves. He damn near got kicked out his senior year, all because he decided to fuck with a hacker in his domain. To add icing to this delicious cake he comes in the next day talking to his buddy about how he is having such a bad day, he totaled his truck, was sick, and was 2 demerits shy of being expelled  i look dead at him and just start laughing, hard. He gave me, to this day, the most evil glare i have ever seen in my life. then sits down and says nothing. because what can he do? or say? if he twitches wrong he gets expelled with 2 months to go in his senior year....


Which is a long way of saying. If your making fun of people for being smarter than you, dont be surprised when they out smart you.

HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING QUAKE, I completely forgot about that, I did the exact same thing to the shop teacher of all things. I don't know who originally installed the game, but I kept reloading it and even locked out the school admins from modifying the files at one point. So they just got a whole brand new serverxD

I know this is REALLY grave digging but, I wanna keep this alive for great merriment.

I once worked at a Meijer with one of the largest CCTV systems I've ever seen. Shit rivaled some banks. Zero blind spots because of rotating [won't include model of cameras (for reasons)] head encased in shatter proof, tinted poly(methyl methacrylate) a/k/a/ Plexiglas. These were incredibly high up on the beams (for reasons).

I got into an argument with an employee and it got heated and I basically ended up getting into a fight in the store in the rec room. This guy was easily twice my size and they tried saying I was the one who swung first. Somehow all the tapes to this incident were never acquired by the police so I took matters into my own hands.

These were some bad ass camera setups, obviously. Totally unhackable right? Nope. With the help of a few GNU/Linux tools under the GPL, which I won't directly get into here, I was able to get admin access within an hour, and using some ninja skill to get into the server room (Wal-Mart and Meijer both have these types of rooms that hold all the relevant shit in them for camera systems/their intranet).

So, in one fell swoop I was able to locate the missing (lengthy) section that was miraculously missing (in the trash files, go figure), labelled it as evidence and downloaded it to a thumb drive. I presented it to my lawyer and said someone left it at my door. This was not all admissible in court but I was able to prove with the small amount of evidence that the guy swung first and his employment was terminated. Although I was also let go a month later, I still felt satisfied with how I got him back. "Payback is a bitch", and all that.

This one's not really a hack but since Ifailstuff mentioned money I might as well throw it in. I used to live in a really small farmer community town bullshit type place, I worked at the local small but expensive as hell grocery store. A customer unknowingly dropped the contents of their wallet and left, and another customer saw it and handed me everything that was on the floor. It was $1450 cash, a hardware store receipt where the person spent $1900, a credit slip for the same place stating that there was $3600 left in his account, an $800 paycheck, and a few other personal documents. I had this guys name, phone number, address, everything, I could have returned the money. So I stuffed it into the back of the drawer at work and left it there for 3 days, never told anyone about it. Nobody came back asking for it or anything. So I took the cash and burned everything else, spent it all the next day. That was a really fun day..

Late post but decided ill share mine too.
Mine was when i cracked my old schools administrators pc password so i could bypass the firewall and make all the computers mine bitcoins for me. I was amazed what i did at the time. From the administrator computer i installed my bitcoin pool to all pc's. It ran for 3-4 weeks 7h a day :-)
Finally when the pc service guy came around because of people complaining how slow the pc's were so they were deleted.
Good good times!

I guess I will share mine. Well around my town there is this thing called move out day when the college year is done with. The students who go to the uni are rich and spoiled so they ditch alot of nice electronics. Well I came across a few computers. Used sniffers on them and found a few school accounts that were used for practice things during there time. The last time it was accessed was in 2009. I was like hell I have the persons name, email, and the password they used. Even there old address. Well with some searching I found the persons facebook. Still used the same email. I tried using that pass and it did not work. So I was like this is a dead end. I thought well lets try the email. Bam same email password as the side account she used for like one day years ago. Long story short, I own everything that person has. In that email was everything from Social numbers to school loan info to the new job info.

Long story. A student had gotten in trouble for disrupting the school website. He got in trouble, and the admins were talking in the auditorium because of this and saying, "We have patched our network, remember that if you try you'll get caught and will get expelled. We've made sure it's fully secure now." I took this as a challenge. So I brainstormed ideas, ideas from Evil Twin attack, MitM running over night, etc. I then did some recon on the network, I noticed that there were several access points, one for the students, and the other for the teachers, admins, etc. I noticed WPS was not locked, so I targeted the 8-digit pin the router and retrieved the access points password. From then, I went on my phone, started zANTI and redirect all traffic to a HTML script I uploaded from c99.nl: http://paste.c99.nl/d8c90f4462b912f7c9c3.html (http://paste.c99.nl/d8c90f4462b912f7c9c3.html).

After that, I didn't do anything. I still have the password thought. They never changed it.

I mean that I'd just leave it there to be over night. But specifically right after I leave school when the teachers log into the site to change the grades, etc.

At my job we have several standards which use zfs file systems and sometimes creating the raid mirror on the fly is time consuming, so I wrote a python script to do it .

The biggest hack I've ever done was at my school. At my school they gave out MacBook pros for the school year. They had the student account and an admin account on each computer so that there could be restrictions and there were a ton. Well I figured out the admin password which was a super difficult one. I then proceeded to install NMAP.  Then I scanned the network for every Mac which was on the network. Since every laptop had an admin account it, I had access into every student computer. I then wrote a script that ssh'd into the admin of an ip I specified,  cracked and dumped all passwords of the entire computer into a text file, scp'd the file back to me, turned on screenshare/screen controlling, and then deleted all traces of me ever being there. I did that for months and ran it 24/7. I had everyone's  password for every account who went to my school and also could control any computer. I also hacked into a teachers loaner computer which had an admin account on it. I wrote a python wifi phishing script and then got the staff wifi password. Nobody ever figured out. That was when I was last year as a sophomore.

Once I was annoyed that I can't use torrent client using wifi in my high school. So I decided to do something about it - I found router address, then used default user name and password. It's kind of sad that they didn't bother to change it... It was very easy hack, but I could get my torrents. My other rewarding hack was when I hacked a page where we could sign up for additional classes - the page was written in some poor php (for example they even didn't bother to hide error pages with code). So I just played with this page and managed to sign up before signups were open. I don't remember exactly what I did, but noting fancy (I didn't inject any code). It's really funny, that they had my name in database, probably with date of sign up (maybe not? who knows...) and they did nothing about my early sign up. But still my sign up was more like an accident than hacking with purpose.
