Hacking and Security / Re: Most rewarding hack you've ever done?
« on: September 12, 2012, 04:18:31 am »
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.
