This never gets old...

Are you http? 'Cause you're insecure ://

The first time I decided to hack around a bit:D

One of my teachers made a quiz software, which is only used by him(his lectures are about databases), and it is highly unsecure. When I heard that it is written in C# I decided to look in it's source code. The biggest problem I ran into: this program is only available on the computers in his classroom, and he monitors the computers display. However, I successfully put it into my pendrive without getting caught.

So when I got home, I just had to use a .NET decompiler(in this case: dotPeek) to get the fully functional source code. The basic function of the program was to download a quiz from his database server, and when it was finished, grade it client-side. Than, I realized how bad it was: It contains the number of questions, the number of correct and incorrect answers.
I've just made a modified .exe, which contained really little modification(like correctAnswers=maxQuestions, incorrectAnswers=0). Everything looks the same, you just have to click over it, and everytime it will return with 100%.

And the bonus: The program connects to the database as a user with root access, and without password. I was able to log in, download(dropping was available too, but didn't try) databases(with all the answers) and so on.

Never had to use it though, it was just a sort-of experience gaining.:)

😵😵 why!

This is just wrong..

Some months back I introduced a co-worker to devrant. Today when I arrived at the office I had this on my laptop.
So proud...

I had a teacher telling me I was not allowed to Google in my Android project....

Working out some bugs.

Salary negotiation

+1 if you like my new laptop skin...

So, this is how my Android teacher indents his braces. I'm not sure what to think of this.

I drink coffee cause we're not allowed to punch people at work.

Based on popular demand, we're proud to introduce a basic image repost detector on devRant!

Right now it uses very simple hashing to see if an exact copy of an image was posted recently. If it was, then we display an error and we don't allow the image to be posted.

This is experimental so if you experience any issues with it please let me know.

Long story short, one of our interns got this present from me hehe. He loved it.

Learning blender, how did I do?

Another programming job: the first 5,183 decimals of pi, in wood sticks. Took me three months to do. Now I start e

One time my co-worker put a tiny piece of tape inside the USB receiver of my mouse which apparently makes any USB device stop working. It took me a while to figure out why my damn mouse wasn't working even though everything was properly plugged in and it had new batteries.

When I found the tiny piece of tape I was instantly knew who it was and it was pretty funny.

Best prank I did to a office must be that one I did when I was 7 years old:

> Sat at a schoolcomputer and explored stuff
> Found alot of network printers
> Found one called "city hall front desk"
> Created a word-document with the biggest font possible
> Wrote "Dick"
> 2000 pages of the word "dick"
> Print 2000 copies

> Did the same to a kindergarten and a "rival school"
> Never got caught because I used my teachers novell account ( the password was his name)

I miss novell

My girlfriend doesn't talk to me anymore after I said I helped the new girl to do some penetration testing.

My ex boss asked us how it could be possible for the code to look 'bigger' ...he insisted to somehow increase the actual file size of the delieverable..

SAVAGE 😂😂😂

Wife: what are you thinking about?

Me: how to optimize key storage in a binary tree

Wife: forget that I asked

When you're a junior sysadmin but still have to maintain ALL the production server:

How it looks:

$ sudo apt-get update

How it feels:

Just got a call from IT people. They asked for a file which I already sent an email to them two days ago. When I told them that, they whined -- "You should have called me that you sent an email, I don't normally check it."

Didn't expect that kind of excuse from IT people... Or maybe my expectation was too high 😑
