Deadass, about 2014, I remember having a school laptop for homeschool that was blocked from most sites. I don't fucking know HOW, but in some odd way I went right through the firewalls and shit at twelve years old and I did it consistently. The guys that put the blockers up in the first place wanted to know who did it and if they could hire them. Obviously my mom said no, he's twelve. Which made the guys even more dumbfounded. Meanwhile I'm just sitting in class feeling awkward and embarrassed about the whole thing kinda of telling them how I did it. Again, I don't remember how but it dealt with choosing which software to update. Which I think overrode the current software of the laptop after an update so it'd be the same thing just without the block.

Boris! I have a similar story! When I was in high school in the early 2000's, I was a couple points away from failing a math class because I had simply not wanted to do the massive amount of annoying and unnecessary homework this particular teacher forced on us. My test scores were great, so I knew what I was doing, I just resented having my time wasted by this teacher who valued sheer volume of silly make-work over practical tests of my ability. So I'm about to fail a class I should have passed easily, was going to have to re-take, and was NOT happy about it. So, long story short I was also a smart little bastard, installed a key-logger on the teacher's computer during lunch break, got the password for her electronic grading program that was networked into the school system, and altered things JUST enough that I barely passed, but not enough to be noticeable. The teacher never did notice, and I passed with a D. Funny enough, since I never legally passed that math class I should never have legally graduated high school, and therefore my current computer tech degree isn't valid either, but at this point nobody can do anything about it. Stay cheeky! ;)

@@taraskhan475 I had a buddy (works for Google now, REALLY smart guy) who had one on a disk. I don't know where or how he got it. This would have been around 2003 in the U.S., so they were readily available and you could download pretty much anything via the school's computer lab. Like Boris mentions in the video, the early 2000's were a hacker's playground because people just weren't as conscious about cybersecurity. The teacher in question only had her grading network login password protected, but not her PC itself, so all I had to do was insert the disk, transfer the log script to an unobtrusive folder, wait a day, come back and get the log file off her machine, and read through the log file until I found the username and password. How did I find just two small sections in all the other logged strokes? I did a text search using the first 4 letters of the teacher's last name. It's a no-no nowdays, but back then the teachers had all or part of their real last names as part of their network usernames. So finding "Jones13Alg" was obviously a userame, and what followed would be the password, naturally. And once I had her credentials by logging the keystrokes on her personal computer, I could log on to the grading network via any OTHER computer running the grading software in the school. So I could take my time messing around learning the grading software from the safety of the computer lab on lunch break without having to risk breaking back into places I wasn't supposed to be and getting caught.

They were even more trusting back in the day. Way back in, oh, 2005 or so, I remember gaining control of my entire university's IT department because I was tired of the crusty old Win98SE systems we had that were infected to high hell, and just installed dualboot Linux on everything. The thing is, I was young and dumb at the time and didn't cover my tracks AT ALL - it'd have been simplicity itself to catch me. Nobody bothered because nobody cared; the local IT tech was lazy, security in the building was nonexistent and the students were happy they had *something* they could use to surf without instantly catching virtual chlamydia so nobody tattled on me. Ah, to relive those carefree times.

In our elementary school we had network folders in format *server\accouts\students\(student's name)\* and of course probably everyone tried to edit the path to somebody else's name and it gave access denied error. But for some reason it worked when shortcut was created for that. And not only to access other's private folders but the whole server to the root folder. Though our IT teacher was actually very skilled and he warned us that if we copy some bad files in public folder that everybody can access then there will be that person's name shown as creator of the file. So i knew that only thing that i could do was deleting files of kids that was pissing me off. :D

I once have been trying to change my laptop's font and came across a script that would allow me to do that. Then, one day i copied the file onto my tablet and brought it to school. I copied it onto the teacher's laptop in my class and have run the program, with the target font being *wingdings.* It requires a restart for the change to take place, so it took half a week for it to be noticed. Due to that our history class have been canceled. A couple days later when the issue have been fixed, my teacher asked me if that was me who did it. I got scared and quickly answered no.

I did something similar with my mates in school. Except no crashing systems. The boys (basically the collective of all male students in a class that basically forms a gang) were in the back and chilling when one of them went to the bathroom but left his laptop open. One of my friends ran over and was doing something, and then ran back loosing his shit with giggles. We all nearly died after he told us he set 2000 pages of this shirtless shrek meme we made earlier that day, to the library printer. He came back, and it took our collective effort not to lose it, but things calmed down after 15 minutes with nothing. Next minute, principle storms in and the IT admin behind her, calls out the kid and he walks out being confused. Me and the boys are rocking in our chais trying not to laugh our asses off, before promptly loosing it once they left. They had walked around the side of the classroom so we ran to the far right wall and looked over the loovers and listened in. The kid was being threatened with "severe consequences" and "academic misconduct". He pleaded innocent but was put on a final warning. We all nearly fell off the benches as they came back to the class and we quickly got to our desks again, the kid came in and stared at us and we lost it. "Aw you fuckin dickheads, the lot of ya." He yelled at us and the teacher quickly yelled at him for swearing, we lost it even harder then before as he sat beside us in the backrow. Best memory.

Reminds me of that time when I was somewhere between 5th and 7th grades. Our IT teacher was our headmistress who barely knew anything about PCs apart from the simplest MSPaint/Word exercises. So there I was one day, feeling bored in IT class because the cool kids always called dibs on the only PC that had GTA San Andreas installed. To kill boredom, I made a one-line batch file that ran shutdown.exe with a 1 second timer and the text "TROLOLOLOLO". I moved it to the Startup folder on XP as a dumb joke. I've even persuaded a few other friends to do the same prank on their computers. Not even a few hours passed when she stormed into English class and specifically told ME to come with her and fix what I've done. It wasn't hard to trace it back to me as I was the only XP aficionado in our class of ~28 kids. Apparently "I've ruined school property" and "the other kids can't even boot to the OS" now, and the next time "I'll have to answer the principal" yadda yadda... I kept a smug, shit eating grin on my face as I "fixed" all the computers within minutes (including the obligatory normal startup to fake-diagnose the problem with a puzzled "hmm" and a "hold my beer" attitude). Apparently she didn't even know that booting in Safe Mode meant that nothing apart from the basic necessities, not even stuff within the Startup folder, would run. It was fun while it lasted but I'll always remember the day I proved the IT teacher that she's not as much of a hot shit as she thought she was. It's not some super exciting story like Boris', plus we didn't even have access to a shared network in that school, but it's still a story I cherish and felt like sharing. My other favorite prank was creating folders with names referring to illegal material, keywords like "CP", "zoo" and such, then hitting Printscreen and deleting the folder for good. Crop the task bar in Paint, save the pic somewhere deep within the WINDOWS folder where it'll never be found, and set it as the background. Watching as the teacher furiously kept trying to select the fake folder with a puzzled face never got old in any of my schools.

lmao something like this happened to me, the teacher was teaching us how to make folders but me and my friend already knew all that, so we kept deleting every folder anyone made in the drive so that they think they are doing it wrong, we accidentally deleted the folder that contained all our class's projects since the start of the year

Really felt like the interrogation in the matrix, perhaps they just watched it too. All of us are now IT professionals one kind or another, all the teachers still struggle to change audio input source on teams. We're not bad kids, we help them when we see this

This is why Boris never reveals his face. If we saw it, we would implode at his technologically advanced hacker skills

I got into trouble at school because I clicked backwards on a network share enough times to show every PC on the domain (just a list view, I know now that there were possibilities for mischief if servers were discoverable, but at this point I was just a kid enamoured with being able to see every PC in one place). The teacher saw my screen and gave me detention. Funnily enough, my first IT job was at the very same school years later, with the same network manager. As scary as he was when I was a kid, he was actually a really awesome guy.

At my elementary school, we used to have virtual PCs running on thin clients, with each classroom having one "server". At some point I found out how to make batch files, so I started messing around. Eventually I created a batch file which kept on opening itself until it overloaded the memory. I didn't understand the way our network worked yet, so I accidentally crashed every computer in my class because I overloaded the server...

Ok, I have an extremely insane conspiracy theory. I believe Boris moved away from his country at a young age and spent a bunch of years in an English speaking country. If you watch his really really old videos, he's actually easier to understand than he is now. I honestly doubt his name is even Boris, what with his extreme dedication to privacy. And why would Slavic kids in a poor former Soviet backwater speak English? I have very little evidence for this, but little things like this very American sounding word just add up to something being fishy for me

When you're such a good programmer that you can code a virus just with one sentence of plain text.

My mother learned the ins and outs of MS DOS, back in the '80s, and was an early adopter of pretty much everything computer-related, including early internet Multi-User Dungeon games, (or MUD,) and PC's in general. Basically extremely early, text-based MMOs. She told me of one time where she used the local connection to other computers to do something of a network hack, making every PC in the office display a message, saying something along the lines of "This PC will self-destruct in 20 seconds." After the 20 seconds were up, every computer shut down. Nothing else happened, though. Just a bit of silly office nonsense, and the PCs all ran normally afterward. Ma was cool. EDIT: Added some clarification.

My first computer experience was also with MS-DOS. I still have that machine too. A Tandy 1000HX, with DOS 2.11 baked into ROM, which was very convenient because that machine never came with a hard drive, and everything had to be run off of floppy.

Reminds me of 1st year in highschool when we would receive english assignments in Google docs and go over them as a class. Docs was still primitive at this time, and I noticed that the chat function didn't have a text limit. I found a website with the fall of the house of Usher by Poe and copied the entire thing to clipboard, then pasted it in chat to see what would happen. Everyone viewing the document had to restart their laptops and class was over. Unfortunately while the teacher had no idea there was a chat function, the IT person was competent enough to check the logs and inform them who dun it the next day.

The early 2000s were an amazing time for educational computer-ing in general. The teachers/admin knew it was important, knew that we should learn something about computers, knew that it wasn't all that hard to royally F things up, but also knew absolutely nothing about how to contain all of our curiosity and half-baked knowledge. For instance, I got a "broken" PC from school in the 5th or 6th grade that wouldn't successfully boot one year, brought it home (in a shopping cart I "borrowed" from the drug store), showed it to my dad. His first question was "did they try re-installing the OS?" Bewildered, I said I had no idea (bc I legitimately had no idea that could even be done). He came home the next day from work with an old copy of Windows 95 (they had recently upgraded to W98), a serial, and ten minutes later we had a new, fully functional PC. In any case, I applaud Boris, his young-slav hacking aptitude, and his ability to remain silent in the face of dimwitted tyranny. Bonus points for being able to quickly ascertain that the comrade standing next to him was more likely to take the fall.

Nice videos keep up the good work!

@BlackEpyon

7 ай бұрын

Back when I was in school, the students and teachers had physically separated networks, but students were able to see into each other's folders if they knew where to look. That was a major oversight I decided to fix after I graduated and stayed on to help with IT work. We ended up replacing the two servers with a single server, and merging the two networks. I developed a VBS script to automate the creation of student and teacher Active Directory profiles, create folders, and set permission hierarchies so that students couldn't read or write each other's folders (or even see them), but teachers could.

As a recently graduated computer science student working in software engineering, this was thoroughly hilarious, and reminded me how one of my friends in college realized he had some kind of read access on the network to everyone (including the accounts of professors). He was sent to IT security and they gave him a job

I had a similar experience in computer class...well the part where I already knew the basics while everyone else was struggling to open a program on the desktop itself.

Boris!!! kak dela brat!! So glad to see you still uploading 👍

Reminds me of when they put me in computer class, IT teacher hadn't taught me computer stuff before, but they knew me from other classes, and literally, in front of the whole damn computer class, just went ''everyone except Mirvra open up this document ok?'' then comes over to me and tells me ''alright so, you're already getting the best grade I can give in this class, so just play some games or something to kill the time ok? Unless you want to redo some stuff?'' Note, I am NOT some computer genius, most of you are way better than me. BUT, at the time most kids didn't know how to turn computers on, meanwhile I literally grew up in a room filled with 3 PC's running Windows 95/98. To me the idea we needed computer classes at all was confusing as heck, since I just assumed everyone had computers.

Thank goodness the lab's standard procedure for such things was to format the drive so I got away with it.

Nicely done sir! reminds me of when I was 16 when I found out what an MP3 was. (mid 90s) So once I figured out how they worked, I started getting my friends to give me their CDs. I began to rip/compress them, and then stored them on my network drive. This way we could listen to them on any computer in the school. After some time, each computer class got a talking to about 'proper' use of the school network, and that 'only school assignments' should be stored on your network drive. Then I got called down to the office. They weren't happy with the fact I chewed up all the available space on the server with these tracks and applications...:3

Remembered doing some pc "hijacking" shenanigans back in 2015 or something, was about 14 years old that time. In my high school ICT class, every table has a single system unit with 8 to 10 Thin Client and a special Windows 8 OS installed (RDP or sharepoint, dunno the name, forgot), and every table's system unit is linked to another system unit which the teacher uses. IP addresses are predictable, and the user accounts in every system units were also predictable, and after some experimentations, me and the boys managed to log on PCs from a different table, lol. Then tomfoolery happened. We "hijacked" some PCs that schoolmates are using, then doing some trolling on their documents lmao, and even changing desktop backgrounds with random doodles from Paint. Weeks later, someone snitched on me. Got scolded and told to fix my mess (which is just resetting user accounts, no big deal). I even made "secret" accounts in those PCs with names going by "System Update" or "Dell Bios Update"

IT teacher went to the Gulag

Remembering a friend's story now about hacking school grades, kid meant to change all his grades to A's in the district-wide servers (California bay area, chances are these were some of the largest/most complicated school IT systems at the time-00's). Kid accidentally changed ALL the kids grades to all As. I believe he also had some registry/log edits in place to scrub any recovery assets as well. He got very expelled, but i believe a teacher or parent got in contact to connect him with mentors. For reference, district probably had ~50 schools of densely populated classes. Thousands of grades to recover. I believe the only saving grace was many hard copy grade logs still being around.

As the former school IT guy, I can guarantee you that teachers never think about setting read/write permissions on student folders. In high-school, I was the one creating student active directory profiles, and linking them to the student's data folder, because the vice principle (who was supposed to be in charge of IT) never had the time. After I graduated, I stayed on to help with IT work, and developed a visual basic script to automate the process of creating the profiles and folders, and setting permission hierarchies so that students couldn't see into each other's profiles, but teachers could.

I love how the "post-soviet eastern Europe" countries are so similar between each other (and themselves through time) that this could have happened in any of them from the soviet era until today... Slavs truly being either 0day experts or unable to turn PC on and there being nothing between is so funny sometimes.
