ROFL at Bob's idea, a college friend of mine spoofed an e-mail from the head of studies to a few of my friends, saying they were in detention. That didn't work...
Hmm....Napalm would work, but is a bit extreme
Why not get him in class, get a crowd of people round, and ask him a question, then laugh when he gets it wrong?
DAMNIT, it was the other thing i thought about first
But yeah you are probably right.
Is who who you think it is?
He'll probably say it was him and then just not believe me that ill get him excluded.
PERFECT! Next IT lesson i shall accidentily peer over and see his password, then when in the presence of myself i shall email the headteacher and multiple teachers saying some rude things
True but he really wouldnt try to even if he could.
Unless your taking a break from being too busy acctually doing it?
And ive decided im going to just ignore anything he says about hacking my/anyones computer, if he doesnt shut up about it ill just make him look stupid when he understands none of the questions i ask.
And ill get into his email and send some rude messages around (Thanks bob)
Just a quick suggestion on doing this. A number of people have done this at my school, using others accounts to send emails around the school and some how they find out the person who actually sent the email if the person the account belongs to hasn't sent the email. I think they may look what computer the email was sent from and then see if the person would be in that room where the computer is by looking at the persons timetable to see where he/she should be(What lesson and room) and then they would know if he/she sent it or someone else did, I would suggest to send it in IT so then he would be in the same room as you. Your school may not have the same sort of system as mine but I think ours is run long the lines of what I explained as the PC's in my school are individually numbered, for example: PC-002 etc... Also at my school the head of the year and the headteacher gets a copy of every email a pupil sends in the school using the email accounts the school has provided them with.
Hmm good point, i cant do it during IT, we have a stupid thing at our school where you cant be logged in at 2 computers at the same time.
So if he was logged on i wouldnt be able to get on.
Although i can just do it in the library after school. This way its out of school timetable so they wont know if he was there or not
You can also set the clock on the computer before sending, to spoof the time it is sent.
Also if the school has a website that is locally hosted look for any contact us forms, you can use the %0a exploit to spoof mail headers in php mail and send as many emails as you like whilst he's logged in, and you can put anything you like in the headers. -f is a useful flag to know for that one.
Or you can not become worse than him and not hack anything at all, which might be the more ethical thing to do. You tell me, my morals are way out of whack...
It wouldn't be spoofing if you used there account, that would just be stealing it and thenn using it normally. The whole point of spoofing is that you don't know their password, just their email address.
I slept through my IT lessons, they were taught by an old fogey who runs his own firm, thought PASCAL is the most widely used and highest level programming language.
cout('PASCAL is tought in education because educators opted out of real life when it was still current, in 1975');
EDIT: oops thats C isnt it, should be writeln I think. I cant remember, it's been a long time since anyone tried to educate me!
Yeah, our IT lessons look just like that, 15 year old computers and pascal programing... with 60yr old teacher, who is walking, talking and doing everything in slowmotion in comparing to us... just like his old comps there
I know a little bit about exploits. Firstly, he would have to find your computer, he would need to obtain your ip address for that. Secondly, more people claim to be hackers than know what a hacker is, look it up some time. He actually meant to say he's a script kiddy who knows the basics of trojans and how to open a back door, I suspect this is highly unlikley. He would require a program like NetBus, SubSe7en or BackOrifice. If he is a "hacker" or "h4x0r" ask him what colour his hat is? If he doesn't say its red he's full of bulsh.
Btw, the true meaning of hacker is "a clever programmer"
I think it's probably more correct to say "original" meaning. Like in computing we used to have mouse and mouses, instead of mouse and mice. On came the masses, and one little nuance of geekdom was lost after another.
Some people argue that the original meaning of the word should be restored because of some kind of geek nostalgia, but I think the ability to communicate effectively rather than label oneself is more important.
My solution would be smash his head through a monitor (preferably a CRT), boot him in the bollocks from behind and then grab his legs and spin him as fast as possible before launching him through a fire door! I used to love I.T. lessons...
To learn procedural language, that's all you need, pascal, an old computer, and a slowmo teacher. Slowmo teacher is vital...that way you learn faster because you can't help finishing his sentences before he does, and that way you learn faster.
