I programmed a random credit card generator at school and saved it to my :F drive which is the private drive for students to save stuff to. That night I tried accessing my account and it had notified me that it had been locked. I went into school the next day and was called into the office, the principal and Tech Administrator were there waiting for me and asked what the file was. The Tech Administrator tried to describe to me what he found
"This gen.html file seems to be malicious and puts our school at risk. It seems to be some sort of malware and stuff like that is prohibited at school."
Now me sitting in the chair listening to this, laughing in my head just said "okay" and nodded my head because he is the type of person to argue forever. They came to the conclusion to unlock my account by the end of the semester.
Just goes to show that it doesn't take much to get a Tech Admin position at a school.

    @ScribeOfGoD I was more concerned about the 'private' part. It seems that it's not very private after all :D

    @pajaja file and user permissions

    I recommend using truecrypt containers (or whole partitioning) - then you can be sure it's private :-)

    Yes the official site was closed in 2014 ( imho they were bought by Microsoft, but this is question for another rant) but truecrypt is open source so it was not a problem to put it back into web. You can download last stable version 7.1 from many sites and afaik it's still the best software to make data 100% encrypted.

    "private" drive, nice. Back in my day, they had arena death battles to see which students would be allowed to use one of the few computers the school had.

    @witek truecrypts warrent canary disappeared, meaning they were compromised by the gov't. They voluntarily shut down after that rather than continue to offer comprised tools.
    Veracrypt is its spiritual successor, based in part (not sure how much) on truecrypts codebase.

    I hear Petya is also a popular encryption tool nowadays! ;)

    So they've decided you were trying to broke their system by programming a random credit card generator at school, right? Therefore they've locked your account?
