What's the worst it related stunt you've done?

Cannon Fodder · June 30, 2001

Back in my secondary school, I was a bit of a bastard when it came to computers. I'd sit in IT, complete the work about 30 mins before anyone else and sit in the class bored.

While browsing the 'net one day, I came across a little porgram called s*b7 (name edited for possible legal reprocussions resulting from this story). This porgram alows you to comntrol a computer REMOTELY, as long as you have a free port and an IP address. I went around every computer in school, using ipconfig (the security was fairly low), and getting IP addresses and ports.

I pulled a sickie, and started the porgram at home. I opened about 50 windows (so I could see every computer's contents) and activated the 'screen grab' option, and took a screen grab opf every screen every 30 seconds. Lo and behold, it came up with microsoft publisher working, word working, someone messing around in paint, someone looking at picture of Golf GTIs, someone looking at pictures of that guy from Angel etc...

Simultaneously, I activitated every computer to "auto-shutdown"!! CHAOS!! And there was no way I was iomplicated because I was at home at the time! GENIUS!

The next day, I got back into the swing of things. I raised my game a little, and put s*b7 on my F:// drive. Realising this way risky, I kept it zipped and hidden. A friend, who wasn't too bright, caught me mid hacking and forced me to let him in on the game. I soon showed him how to activate people's PC Speakers, bring up keyboard logs, bring up chat boxes and generally make a nuisance of yourself. Another friend, suprisingly already proficient with s*b7, soon joined in. We soon weere bringing people's browsers onto porn when the teacher was looking etc, and generally having a great time! People who'd been real tossers to us during the day were getting it in the neck -BIG TIME!

One day, my frind (the s*b7 proficient one) was called into the IT head's office. It wasn't good. He threw the book at him, but had no firm evidence. He turned his attention to me. I shited myself as he questioned me, but got out of it by saying I'd shared my account many a time with other students, maybe about 20 over the years. He had nothing on me. As I left his office, I wondered who'd ratted me out.

SUPRISE SUPRISE, it was the thicko. He was probably jealous about the fact he was too thick to operate the s*b7 program, and decided to engage in a bout of malicious indignation. Whatever, he sunk into obscurity for the rest of the days at secondary school.

So, there's a tale! I'll tell you more later on!

CF out.

lol, at my college u can do this thing on the computers called net send, everyone at college has a student number, and this is there user id for the college network

so if u know someones student number u can send them a message which will pop up on there screen, theres even a full list of everyones number available so u can find ppl

so ppl in my IT class started sending messages to ppl saying

"please shut down the computer, it is overheating"

and the fools that got it actually shut the pc down

hhehehehe.... I'm doing this too, In fact, I did this 1 minute ago. We actually use it for chatting in class while my idiotic teacher blabs about something (don't worry, i can learn a terms work in an hour off-by-heart).

I once had this program which does the thing at the start of the matrix to someones computer. Never got around to using it.

Set the Windows Startup sound on about 15 computers in a lab to a wav file titled "The many uses of the word 'f&*k'", set the speakers to a pretty decent volume, left, came back half an hour later with my next class in that lab (there was no one there before)....and basically tried to act as shocked as anyone else & not be the first one to fall to the floor laughing. Prof wasn't impressed of course, and I came VERY close to being nailed for it, but, heh, ho hard evidence . (coincidentally a few weeks later, all the computers were "Ghosted" on startup...meaning any files saved on the hard drive/settings changed only lasted during YOUR session;)

ROFLOL!! back when I was in CISCO I set my teachers PC to blair the father Jack sound clip of him going 'ARSE FECK TIT DRINK DRINK DRINK!! for EVERY SINGLE function.. open a window.. close a window.. minmize, maximize.. and the funniest part was that being the lab teaching PC it was hooked up to the speakers in the class which had their own volume (which i had turned up)

so for about 1 miniute.. in a small quiet town in a peacful school.. a violent drunk man raged wildley in a small classroom.

apparently the sound carried quite well as people all the way at the end of the hall came out of the their classes to confront the violent alcoholic.

we were in a science class and we had to set up a spreadsheet concerning the solar system,the pcs were all networked and they were 286's. and you had to have a different file for each planet. in the whole of the class only four of us were any good n computers, and i was paired with the best,so every time the other pair saved a file we logged in and changed all the planets details!!!they got it in the neck big time when we changed all the values to 666,,(it was a catholic school) LOL it was great!!

About a year ago in college.

Me and some friends had figured out about the c:\con\con bug in windows9x. (Click start, then run, and type in c:\con\con and click ok.... then the computer will crash).

We found it a bit fun, but nothing more. The one day i was sitting in class making my homepage trying to do some cool scripts, when the idea suddenly came to my head: "Why not make a website which automaticlly redirects to c:\con\con??"

So i did, and it worked fabioulous, the win9x machines crasshed aprox 90% of the times entering the site.

I put the website online at the adress "www.crashme.subnet.dk" (its not there anymore), and started advertising on IRC.

OMG what a laugh when we saw all the xxx has quit (Read error blablabla).

That was amazing.

Although one week later the principal came in, they had traced my computer. I was thrown out one week... but it was all worth it, and i got a free 1-week vacation )
