I did in boarding school. I found gay porn in an older student's pictures folder.
Nothing came of it, but did get a cracked copy of warcraft 3 from his computer also

I had a 101 Shareware games CD for Win95
I opened them all in a txt editor and searched for "password"
A few had the password to unlock the full shareware in plain text on the exe file

Worked all summer for a spaniard that wanted a forum website
He ended up not paying me after 2 months of work

Had to use a vulnerability of the forum software to extract the database
Contacted some baltic security researcher to get a working exploit
Used some kind of rainbow table + a software i forget the name of to do a rainbow table attack (it wad a gui that worked like john the ripper)
Most dictionnaries I tried sucked until i got one that found like 10 passwords (the quality of your dictionnary is important kids)
One of the passwords was the one of the moderators, I used it to get the emails of the moderation team
I explained them how their admin friend was a scammer
The team left and the website closed

I didnt get paid but at least the fruit of my work was not used against me

some kid was bragging about cheating on a test on fourchan so I found his school district and used ""context clues"" :) to find his home room teacher and sent them an email about it with screen shots. never followed up to see his punishment

used to play with open intercom systems, schools would always use the default password, civil buildings too.

most traffic cams are up for grabs if you want to point them somewhere else

idk this threads pretty pointless since the LOIC skiddies died out, what do you phone niggers even do, ask google to hax ur bixnood

In 2005, I hacked into the Pentagon and had recovered data for a mass-produced amphibian mecha units.
Sadly, some French-Russian old bastard narrowly beat me to it and stole all the data in there and also had my computer blow up on me which is pretty messed up
>>
I cracked my grandma's Wi-Fi password because she didn't remember it. That's it.

>>109532387
>French-Russian
Worst combination to ever exist, also having your computer blowing was probably the muslim genes coming from the french part. You gotta behind more proxies.

One time I was able to use that windows sticky key to admin console trick helping someone at work. It felt cool.

>>109531687
I get hacked.
One time I got hacked so hard I thought I was supposed to drink water and eat celery for the rest of my life for maximum gains.
I then got directed home by signals from God and the nice homeless people on the street and fell asleep to a comforting sermon from the YouTube pastor. Thanks Jesus for saving me from being hacked by a computer.

In the early days of cable modems, probably before most of you faggots were born, you could connect to your neighbors' computers on the same subnet. I first noticed this because some of them were spamming packets into my Linux firewall. And Windows 98 or whatever it was at the time shared C: by default. So I dropped a text file on the desktop of each of these Windows machines telling them to secure their shit and stop spamming my firewall.

Interesting. Was there any actual computer hacking involved or was your brain/soul hacked?

My brain. Idk about the computers I was using.

Back in the day gamespy accounts would deactivate after a set timer or if there db got full idk, some servers tied your character vault to your gamespy name, and you could remake any old gamespy name you remembered if it had been deleted with a new password.

We bought a competitor's device, used a debugger to download the firmware image off the micro controller, then looked at the output of strings and typed the very very obvious password to unlock all the debug options, then used that to dump the emmc.

I actually just got out of jail after serving 9 months for some stupid hacktivism.

my Indian boss's laptop. It was fucked up, put a liux thumbdrive in and stole a bunch of files he needed. Dude gave me 500 dollars under the table cash. It was just a bunch of spreadsheets and bullshit, nothing serious. But Windows was so fucked up you couldn't actually boot.
>>
>>109531687
hacked? no. used social engineering to spook people into thinking im a hacker? yes. 95% of people claiming to be ''hackers'' are just manipulators, very little bruteforcing ever happens unless someone is attacking extremely specific vectors to skim data from companies

I wrote an injector and a vm detector for a virus. It kind of worked but unfortunately we couldn't psyop the target into downloading it

I have. used to be a tripfag in /g/ named tab and I hacked into his website. He had a page where you could upload files to share with other people. I realized that if I uploaded a php file, it would execute it instead of download it when I went to share it. I uploaded a little php shell so I was able to run arbitrary commands and I found his password in plaintext in a wordpress config file iirc. I let him know and he panicked lol. I still have the irc screenshots of him freaking out

somebody i knew back in the dialup days sent a random bitch a RAT over IRC and then got keyboard logs of her dad looking at 'my daughter' porn stories, then emailed him to stop being a creep and to update his antivirus

I downloaded Kali and there was some tool that allowed you to see images that were sent over wifi.
I accessed instagram on my phone and saw the pictures on my computer.
Shortly after instagram started using HTTPS anyway so it stopped worked .

Once my mom was in the hospital when I was 17 for an extended amount of time, and you had to pay for Wi-Fi internet access daily or weekly with a debit card. We were poorfags, and I just called the helpdesk and told them I payed already with such-and-such device and registered with this e-mail, can they whitelist it manually, and they just did. I mean it's more social engineering and not really a l33t haxor story.

Also, another thing I am trying to do: I wrote a script that scrapes new comments from a few subreddits and saves them in a SQL DB, with username and timestamp, and a locally hosted LLM goes through the largest contributors comment history and tries to extract any personal information that could indentify them. I'm not big into local LLMs and I will need better hardware, but the peak would be to have agents that could search and cross reference other sites, i.e. if they mention they live here and have such-and-such jobs, then it could hit up Linkedin.

I once wrote a program to automatically bypass security measures of a large website and download their protected content which I then used on my own website to make money.

Someone noticed and contacted me. He couldn't believe that I have managed to do it and wanted the program for himself so he decided to blackmail me. My website at the time had a lot of illegal content on filehosters so he told me I should give him the program or he would report all the files. He also proved that he already has a list of all links and gave me 3 hours to think about it. I immediately started to write another program that send information like location, ip, etc to my server and then format the hdd and that's the program I send him. Unfortunately, I finished 10 minutes too late, but I still send it to him. The files at the filehosters were already gone because he had reported them. A short while later he noticed my mail and apologized. 10 minutes later another mail arrived from him with the text "FUCK YOU!". Reuploading the files took me almost half a year.

I'm pretty sure I accidentally stack smashed my way into reading other students' home directories from my college's VM thing they gave every student access to. It was a C program that I fucked up. I didn't see much and I stopped quickly because I'm a pussy and didn't want to get in trouble, but that was probably the closest I've ever come to actually hacking. I've kind of fucked my router up a couple times testing my config with nmap, but that doesn't count.
tldr: consumer hardware is not really up to snuff when it comes to handling brute force and other real attacks from inside the LAN. You need an x86 or otherwise big boy machine to tank any real attack.

In my highschool library I figured out that if you did win+shift+down-arrow it would flip the monitor, but it wouldn't work if you were on the login screen
So I did that to a couple computers and logged out
Next day they had tape on those saying they were unusable because nobody could figure out that you had to log in first before fixing the screen

So yeah I've been on the run from the authorities ever since

How the fuck do you accidentally stack smash? Don't you need a binary payload?

i realized a mailing list filtered incoming messages via the "from" address, but that was spoofable. I pretened to be le hacker man and sent them a blackmail demand, and was immediately caught by the fbi
all in all probably a good experience, they weren't too hard on me, and it made me stay away from any other crime. i was half larping anyway.
>>
>>109541863
Maybe it wasn't stack smashing. This was years ago and like I said, when I noticed it was doing something weird I stopped it immediately. I did double check and whatever directories and info it was printing were not accessible to me inside the VM, so I assumed that something next to my VM in memory was being accidentally read.
>>
>>109532308
who did it execute?
