[NOT CLICKBAIT] The time when I got suspended from school for hacking - Vultra - 05-18-2018


Got suspended and could have been expelled the second time

I thought I might share my fun times when I was back in school and breaking things. I will try and keep this story short but anyway,

First Story (Running tools)
I was in my 12th year of high school (Final year in Australia) and, We had our own laptops to work from. Of course they were restricted but, me personally, I love breaking things and finding vulnerabilities and exploits because, that is all I did at school was to just hack for the fun of it. Anyway, I was sitting next to my mate and I injected my USB to install some tools because, That is the only way to bypass the school network restrictions when visiting other sites. Once I ran the tools, the IT department got alerted that a user is trying to hack the school systems. So, they sent up a technician to take my computer away and, wipe ALL my data including my school projects because, they couldn't trust me.

The week after, I got called to visit the head department of IT to discuss this occurrence. He told me what I have done and just random bullshit he said and then, he brings out that, If I got further then I did, he was going to be calling the police as well expelling me from school but, due to the conditions I was in, he suspended me for 3 days which was far enough because, means more holidays for me hehe.

from that day on, I was to be put next to the teacher while he can see my work which kinda sucked. Got my laptop back after 4 weeks and still had all privileges as any other school user

Second Story (Finding vulnerability and exploits)
This awesome finding was the best for me in school. I was doing my own thing on the desktops since, my laptop was take away. I was like; "Hmm... Let's do some more fun stuff", and what ya know. After doing some research on the schools network, I managed to pull of a 2015-2016 laptop database that contains emails, names, phone numbers & addresses. When I digged deeper, I found a database that contains ALL users from grade 8 to grade 12. I was curious at the time and was shocked about this. I had PRIVILEGE to copy users data and DELETE their own. At this point, I felt like a god just because, I could do these interesting things.

The best part was, I copied my mates work next to me and put them on my desktop. I opened it up and, he was fucking pissed as me because, he wanted to know how I got his data. Till this day, I haven't told him.

So, after couple of weeks later, another school mate was like, "Teacher, I can't access this file", and of course I come in and say "Let me help ya out". Right then, the teacher was onto me and was like, "What do you mean?". From that point, I told the teacher I had access to the guys data and, the teacher came out at me and threaten me to have me suspended or expelled.

I told the teacher of course because, I ain't want a bad history. These other teachers told me that I can't just be doing what I've been doing and, got into an argument because, I found a network issue and so on...

Till this day, I'm known as the "hackerman"  from all the teachers I spoke with and the IT department so, I'm Mr popular kid now when I was at school.

Poor security on your school's end.

A Removable Device Policy should be Implemented for all personnel, so too restricted privileges and an IDS/IPS/Firewall (rules defined and traffic filtered accordingly) to prevent such tools from Installing, executing and serving their objective.
Interesting read though.

I assume "they", were the IT techs.

If so, It's quite embarrassing (on their part) requesting assistance/Information from a student.

It seems to me that you took an unnecessary risk on your second time, when you performed the exploit in a way that was destined to alert a teacher. But I'm glad you didn't suffer any real consequences from this, and a little fame is always nice to have.

Take It from someone (myself), who compromises sites/servers on a daily basis. Be very careful when performing acts of this nature. It can have serious consequences.

Anonymity Is paramount to say the least.

been there done that but,I still haven't been caught till this day. I use to swat and find vulns in schooling sites and just have fun doing it. The funny part, no VPN was turned on since, couldn't be bothered paying for one. but, I ain't going into that shit again.

This Is like handing yourself over to the authorities. Always anonymize your activity with a VPN when performing acts of that nature. Preferably VPN Server Chaining > Bridges > Tor > Exit Node.

That said, a VPN Is only a minority of your online anonymity. There's DNS leaks, WebRTC, Browser & Canvas fingerprinting, User Agent leaks, Cross-Browser fingerprinting on an OS & hardware level, Ultrasonic Cross-Device tracking, WebGL fingerprinting, Connection, Hardware, Login, DNS "Cache" leaks, cell phone sensor vulnerabilities (Proximity, Magnetometer, Gyroscope, Acceleromete, GPS, Barometer, Biometric, Ambient Light sensors) and the list goes on.
