At my school for whatever reason I was able to change for whatever reason the hosts file. I changed the popular mail service to redirect my clone site to collect passwords... I got caught in a week.


At my school for whatever reason

Ah, those magic words.

For some reason I still don't understand today, 9 of us in my high school programming class had read permission on absolutely everything. It was only students numbered "01" through "09" in that particular class -- I checked the border conditions in a very OCD-style.

Explored a lot of that IBM set up.


Wow, that's pretty cool. I never did anything particularly malicious, only tried to get around restrictions for my own ends. (sometimes necessarily)
