    Haha, in highschool I put sheep.exes into the school labs startup folders as a prank once. A couple days later the tech teacher approached me and was like “nobody’s in trouble but these things are a nightmare and if I have to reimage half the lab to get rid of them it would personally ruin my day”. Somehow all the sheep were gone by the next day

      School computers back then were a wild west. I remember having Starcraft on the school shared drive and playing it in homeroom.

        I remember getting sent to the principals office for “hacking” (pinging the computer in the next room) in like 8th grade.

        Back in 4th/5th I actually was hacking, modifying our user menu to add Windows 3.1 and a password (copying config from a teacher’s profile). Also brute-forced at least two teachers passwords.

        I’m a network architect now, so there’s that.
