    Ever pull any childish computer geek stunts ?

    I can remember being in high school and downloading some little program made by a horrible programmer that when running would call all the pager numbers in one area and place a particular phone number in them.

    This was something no one had heard of at that time so when I used it on my teacher who had giving me saturday school no one knew what the hell was going on. I let it run 3 days till she finally got charged by the phone company for having to many incoming calls. They said she was running a business line lol. She eventually just switched numbers

    Anyone else do childish computer geek shit back in the day

    Hahh sounds like a program I wrote long ago. Was fun to use till we realized that a block of pagers we were using belonged to cops. So the poor kid we were railing with pages was getting hundreds of calls from cops. They didn't think it was funny.

        In college we used to port scan to find any consoles that were playing MUDs, then we ran a program that pummeled them all with an endless stream of control characters so the screen would fill up with garbage and the terminal would beep endlessly until it crashed, leaving the person's character defenseless in MUDland.

        It was particularly funny if a bunch of people were playing in the computer labs and they all got bombed simultaneously.

        They would all move to a different terminal, and then get hit again.

          man someone needs to write something similer to hit all these phone that have paging in them that allow you to send messages from the sites. I woulds stick it on a BP host and and let it rip.. I still have a few people I would love to annoy

                      set every computer's IE homepage to a porn site during lunch, so when classes resumed... hehehe teacher went crazy.

                      Often times I wonder why
                      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                      When sickness comes I must decide:
                      When feelings go, theres suicide.

                        We had a cool remote control program which was very fun at the time. You could display a bluescreen on another guy's screen, reboot his PC and some other fun ztuff. Today I'm too mature for that kind of things

                          I was in this computer class where our assignment was on a remote server. Everyone logged on and was supposed to drag the assignment document to our computers. I deleted it before anyone could get it. The professor just thought the server had an error and let us go home early.

                              Just remembered this one:
                              We used to make a fake login screen for lab computers that would look exactly like the real login screen. So basically we would run this program and walk away, next person to login it would record username/password and stick it in a text file and then would dump out to the real login screen. They would be confused, login again, and go about their business. Meantime, we had their info....


                              Kind of lame i guess.

                                we brought in 'attrib' and hide a whole bunch of files on the network. They eventually noticed and limited our accounts to 16k

                                    I used to hack Datapac on a daily basis. Get those 2400 bps ports to dl warez.

                                    I finally got busted for hacking a local long distance company. I was only the second guy in the country arrested under that law.
                                    I was never charged and finally got my computer back from the evidence room after 90 days.

                                    Checked it out and found the cops had installed a bunch of games and had been playing them.

                                        In Computer class at school we had about 30 Computers all linked up to a single Printer which the Teacher use to Sit by
                                        I use to Print out in massive text things like
                                        "The Teacher is a Fat Bald Fucker"
                                        and he wouldn't know who the hell kept on printing the stuff

                                              A multimedia course during college - my final project was authoring multimedia applications in Macromedia Authorware.

                                              I simulated a Windows application that pretended to format the C: drive complete with reboot of the machine and continuing with 'virus like' behaviour.

                                              This was all on the professor's machine who freaked out and shutdown the machine, sweating profusely. Him and I were good buds though so he appreciated the joke and I got an A+ =)

                                                Back in school I used to have an ftp that just traded .htpasswd files for hundreds of schools.

                                                I managed to unshadow the one at my school, wasnt very hopeful that I would be able to crack very many. So I set my puny 486 to task while I slept with cracker jack. Woke up to 3500 or so cracked accounts. fun fun.

                                                Got a geek friend of mine to write a script that would go through and echo a + + into their rhosts.

                                                I spent the next year sticking homo porn all over fraternity websites and forwarding peoples email to other people that they didnt like.

                                                Forced my univeristy to adopt new security policies. The first being not letting people choose passwords like "12345" "password" "pussy" etc etc

                                                Those were the days.

                                                  in high school, we would "shoulder tap" the teacher and get the admin login, from there we could fuck with other kids in the class via the archaic instant messaging system. through the admin you could mask yourself as another persons screen name. we'd send messages from the hot chicks to the geeks of the class asking them out. we even got one guy to stand up and say "i love you julie" in the middle of class. she had no fucking clue, busted out laughing & he almost ran out crying.

                                                      used to hack into the gaming password files, and play doom on the school network. we had a computer club, and yes i was a member.

                                                      not really computer related, but we used to rearrange the library book by book. that was fun. and we'd hide their cordless phone, or hit the page button. the main dude that ran the place always thought it meant the batteries were dead.

                                                      oh yeah, we found out you can control a powerpc mac with an hp calculator (IR). make them beep, and turn off and stuff. used to do that to students from the hallways if we were really bored.

                                                      one day i printed out porn in hex. the pc teacher got pretty pissed, because it was like 10000 pages. but it was fun taking the printout to class and yelling "i have porn!". great fun.

                                                      that's about all i remember from high school. devious.

                                                      oh yeah. we had a city-wide network as well, so we used to install the other schools' network printers and send them funny messages and points to ponder.

                                                        When I was 8 years old I wrote my first computer game that worked on an old Pravets16 (Bulgarian clone of the IBM machines)
                                                        When I was 9 years old I wrote my first virus. After that I spreaded it on my country Firefight department network (it killed the network in 6 hours).
                                                        When I was 14 years old I got sued by the FBI and I became a non grate person in the USA (not a real problem, I live in Spain). Now my status with these guys is clear
                                                        When I was 18 years old I was hired by a spanish banking company to develope security software but it was too boring.
                                                        When I was 20 years old I was hired to develope military security stuff but it was also too boring.
                                                        This last summer I was exposing a linux server security conference to the same teacher that fucked my programming exams arguing that the security checks are not efficient and must be removed from any program. That was really funny
                                                        Now I have 23 years, I have no morale and I do all you want if you pay enought.

                                                        Well I have done lots of freaky things... but the major part of them are not legal at all, so I'll have to kill you if I tell them to you.
