So I made a batch file in study hall one day because I was bored. It was just a basic tool that could get info on usernames. (Command is net user <name> /domain in cmd) I put it in my network folder for safe keeping.

See here for the script.

A few weeks later, I got called into the office and was asked if I knew anything about a keylogger in the network (This was not me, they asked me because I am one of the top computer students in the school). They then asked me if I had done anything else related to that. I decided to be honest and show them the program which really didn't do anything that they seem to think it did.

Anyways, here is the win part. They brought it up in a school board meeting as a "Massive security breach" And I got a full page story in the county newspaper.

I go to highland high school. I got in no actual trouble at the school but threatened that if I did anything like it again I would get charges filed against me.

Win or not. Your opinion?

tl;dr?
Spoiler (Click to View) I made a harmless batch file that the school turned into a "Massive security breach" that got me a full page report in the county newspaper

Ooouch. Mistake!
In those sitiuations, ALWAYS deny everything. Even the evidence.

lols, he said he was just warned!!
did ya even read this completely ??
where you got "no school" from ?? lols!!

[Dynamo!]

winrar.

Seriously though, to have nobody at the school competent enough to look at the file and know it's not a key logger, they are basically asking for it.

[kitkin15]

Lol its a win, your school tech/staff are morons, keyloggers are COMPLEATLY different.

Next time deny everything, its not good to come clean even if you didnt do that. The batch you made could also be bad, but not a security breach.

[shadow_69_91]

I like it man. As my good mate kitkin15 said your schools tech and staff are idiots. I can't believe they call that a keylogger.
I think this is a WIN for sure!
Nice code as well. I added a suggestion for you to change one thing though but other then that it is a great batch file.
Really nice job man!

I filled the school with over 500 000 empty folders in about 3 minutes. Turns out, I was only about 2 minutes away from completely crashing the server that hosts the files for my school and 7 others.

[hxkd]

That is a total win. But WTF, only for a batch file? Shit, are the people in your school even real ICT teachers?

Meh, atleast in my school I am left alone and trusted :P.

i would never recommend letting yourself be known as a "hacker" or "virus writter" or anything or the sort. Rule #1 in my book is to always remain annoymous...

If only you could spell anonymous.

[nervejunction]

hahah
not exactly sure what to congratulate you on here
but from this hopefully you learned how a few simple tricks can cause a big complex panic
from people who don't understand...you could even be charged with things they just assume you did
once you've admitted anything at all.
So now the next time anything goes wrong with the network and you happen to be on a school computer guess who they are gonna bother?
After high school in real life essentially it works the same way.

[Cyber Terrorist]

LOL. You have dumbass IT managers.

[FOrms Of H4x]

WIN! Nice one, you're famous now :D!
But still, nice one XD
