    One good one i used to do and some ppl at school still do. Is take a screenshot of the login, login to someone elses files, load up Powerpoint paste the image. Turn off the mouse and keystrokes in the presentation. Put it into presentation mode and wander off...

    Usually takes a couple of mins for 'em to notice.

    Ug :)

    THe SpOonMan told me about a good sting he did on his college IT tutor. Whilst doing a presentation, Spoony suggested that he took a shortcut to a menu by using alt+F4...... bye bye all that unsaved demonstration! :lol: If people here in work leave there (NT) PC`s logged on, I screenshot the Desktop & just leave it open in MSPaint. It`s good enough to fool half the people for 10 mins + !!!! I also saw someone try & play a 3" CD in the floppy drive, it wouldn`t come out.SO, he pulled out all the wires & bounced the PC over a chair. still didn`t come out(although something inside it did!) THe IT guy wasn`t happy!

    Theres nothing wrong with playing mini Cds in a floppy drive, it works on mine. Can we have a group test post the results.

    Now thats the kind of thing I like telling gullable ppl who just bought a new pc!

    The oldest prank was a msdos batch file along the lines of

    C:\dir
    echo C:\ Format Complete

    I put that in the autoexec.bat or two :D

    lol, they run a Linux box for the ftp server at our school :p

    So what did I do? I wrote a VB program that loaded 65536 winsocks, connected them, and sent random garbage through them.

    Guess what? FTP server crashed

    LOL

    this one's not as good as some of the others but:

    you know how the networks administrator person at you school is supposed to be good with computers? well i always put together our video yearbook at our school and the computer needed a new hard drive and of corse they arn't gonna let me pu it in(but the hard drive has no point in this story) anyway, i was watching her surf the web after she finished installing it and you know those banner ads that have the fake close buttons, well she clicked on it and couldn't figure out why the site had changes. i had to hold my breath to keep from laughing.:lol:

    We used to have an abundance of apple 2e'a that used rca connectors for video. Since the cable wasnt built into the monitor you could quickly swap them from computer to computer whilst it was busying loading a program on the floppy. Since the floppy was really noisy most people would concentrate on it and a few wouldnt even think about anything if the screens went blank. Whats even worse is the fact since they were setup back to back you could do it without the least bit suspiscion since you were "adjusting the monitor".

    these are all a riot. someone may get a laugh outta my 2 cents

    :idea: i have a stock of left over anykeys for sale if 'ahem' anyone is interested. back in my days at ms...yes is spent years at the evil side of the fence, one of my favorite tricks was to take someones mouse ball out of their mouse, and see how long it would take them to figure it out. some figured it out in reasonable time...other peeps....well....lets just say there are many reasons why some things from ms do not ever work.....
    one of the funniest times was when i did my evil on a poor unsuspecting directors admin. she had been on the job less than a month, and was forever blowing something up in her box. i was a hardware/software lab manager, and most people on my floor would call me to fix their boxes if something broke, cuz i could actually fix it...unlike help desk. well, i got tired of her calls 3,4 and more times a day because her box was blown up again. so that night i took her mouse ball after she left.
    i deliberately came in late the next day, having to deal with an "emergency" in the morning...to make a long story short..when i came in, i had over 30 messages from her on my voice mail, a good 10 "urgent" sticky notes stuck on my lab doors...doh..my cell # was listed right there..oh well..
    after she couldnt get ahold of me cuz her box was "broken" again..she called helpless desk..the tech spent over an hour and a half dissecting the registry (another fiasco..another story..another time), verifying os integrity, and a boatload of other things trying to look like he knew what he was doing...when i got in i figured i better go take a look to see if everything was ok. when i walked into her office, she looked like she had just been through a life and death ordeal :eeek:
    casually, i asked her if the problem was fixed, and she said no....
    the tech gave me all the details of what he had tried to do...and recommended that she have her system rebuilt...i asked her if i could take a look, she said sure..despite the "techs" protest. i casually went over to her comp, did a few quick things to avoid suspicion, like checking the cable, caps lock..then i tried the mouse. it was so hard to keep from laughing dont know how i ever pulled that one off. picked it up, turned it over...ahaaa, somebody stole your mouse ball. i thought that "tech" was gonna pass out.

    never got caught on that one..though i suspect some peeps knew..i told only a few of my most trusted colleagues. i kinda miss those days..............

    There was a bit of a craze on our computer network to use Winpopup to send messages, me been the computer know-it-all at the time... *gloat :p * figred instead of entering someone's username why not send a global to the domain (aptly called SCHOOL) I told a few, they told a few... etc... so It passed on to everyone, what do school kids talk about? (i think we all know) etc and taking the **** out of the teacher, next minute he comes into the room, not only did the server run WinPopup all the time but It also printed out global messages.... ouch...

    Someone at my school did this...

    But he sent it to the entire DISTRICT! :eeek:
    3 high schools
    4-5 Middle schools
    6-8 Elementary schools
    PLUS (the grand finally)
    The administration building!

    Needless to say, this person was sent to alternative school to finish out the year.

    Someone at our school sent "Let's all kill the admin" to everyone.

    Unfortunately he also sent it to the admin :eeek:

    Well where i got for High School (I'll be in 10th grade) you can't goto games, porn, etc.... sites. Well all i do is change the proxy and I'm in! Lol there so stupid!

    Also I found a file that logged the username and password for this one program:) Some people put in there server username and password so i could log in as them and look at there files and deleted and do anything i wanted to the computer and get them introuble:) HEHE.

    I 2 have also turned off kids monitors while they goto the printer...there so stupid they see that the monitor light is off and see a light on the computer...but they turn it off anyway thinking it will turn it on...lol.

    I'll add my stupid people occurence........

    I'm in like 4th grade, sitting in the computer lab. We are on like old ass Macs, the real thin ones with only a floppy.....

    So.....

    The security they have on the PCs to keep us out of settings is "Foolproof" and um.........as a 4th grader.......I opened 'er up.

    It said insert password. I typed "foolproof" it worked......

    Idiots. outsmarted by a 4th grader lol.....



    My school is teh dumb. I installed a NIC in my world history teachers computer bc they said it was going to take like 2 months to get a dumbass from Dell (Hell) to install it.

    So I tell her I'll come in the morning to install it and I do, and it's still there.....




    Also......

    In my BCIS (BS Typing and business **** with BITCH / STUPID teacher) class I went to a text to voice converter and typed in "Miss Heckathorn is P M S ing" (she said she was earlier trying to be funny) and so n00b students say there was an announcement lol that she was pms ing.

    So um she says we cant leave till someone confesses so I confess, and then the principals start bitching at me for making an announcement and they ask how I did it. They also thought I hacked into the teachers account. They then called me "quite the hacker" lol......

    idiots......

    All I did was go to a web site.


    ****in idiots.

    I have fond memories of finding somebodys courseworked saved on the C drive on the machine next to mine in the puterz lab back when I was 14. Naturally, the text was edited to be offensive, and every image was replaced by porn :)

    I hoped that maybe the kid using the machine would open the file and have a few other pupils dob him in for lookin at naughty pix, but in actual fact he'd finished the work, and asked the teacher to come over and take a look. Opens file and voila, extreme hardcore p0rn in yer face :D :D

    The teach could tell that somebody'd been messing, ut both him and the pupil were well emarassed :blush:

    Shame the kid to start his coursework again since he had no backup.... :hehe: :hehe: :cooldude:

    Remember me sending some messages from Ginners account about Ted Stephens then Ginner told them it was me who did it!? The bugger!

    Remember throwing all the mouse mats through that hole in the roof in that small room behind the biology class... or when Panda was off ill and we were playing Unreal until that dozy bint locked up the "Fake Server" that was set up to host the game and killed the network :D
