School and college fun
School
My secondary school had a fair sized network of RM based computers, and not very clever admins as they left the default superuser and password on the system. I then logged in and set all of the terminals screensavers to come on after a minute of activity with not so plesant scrolling messages. I also disabled the controls to edit the screensavers. An afternoon of chaos until someone notified them that I was the one that did it, they even had to ask me to fix it!
With Electronics being a class at my secondary school, what fun we had making basic circuits. One of the best was soldering a buzzer to a 9v battery, walking out into the corridor, removing a ceiling tile and throwing the device up into the ceiling and replacing the tile.
This was done in a few corridores throughout the school. Off we go to lunch, come back and most of the ceilings had been dismantled as they thought there was a fault with all of the electrical system!
College
Computer related once again, searching through the network and gaining access to protected directories, finding an encrypted file full of all user:pass on the system. After wasting an hours lecture decrypting the file, sent it to print to all printers throughout the college.
The powers that be were not happy. But thats what "know-it-all" techies get for being retards.
