Ha, Many universities are locked down pretty tight. I once had a friend almost get kicked out for running wireshark on their laptop. I suspect they had an IDS/IPS that saw all the name resolutions he was sending out (always a good idea to turn off resolution in wireshark or anything else in that manner).

The college I attended had their network pretty wide open. You could easily use cain and abel to do some APR spoofing and record tons of voip calls, fun times.

Machine names are widely used in finding the culprit. When I was in college, I was messing around on the network, and the sys admin found me only because my machine name was my real name.


I didn't get into trouble and actually got extra credit when I showed him the remote shell on the professors computer. In windows my name is usually "unknown" or "na". Linux it's usually an online handle or some new screen name I come up with. Which isn't good either, but I don't really do anything that could get me into shit.

Oh yeah, I pentest some on my own network. And knowing I can do something is good enough for me most the time. I'm not out to impress anyone, just for my own satisfaction.
