What were you known for in highschool?

I was the hacker guy who broke into the school computers and flooded them with porn.

Story:

The highschool I went to had VNC, a remote desktop program, installed (but only the monitoring program) on all computers so that the teachers and supervisors could check what the students were doing.

Also, when one of the teachers didn't come and they couldn't find a replacement we went to a room in the library, filled with laptops and computers for us to use.

So during one of those days, when a teacher was sick, I got bored and wanted to troll my classmates. I downloaded VNC viewer and it took me about 3o seconds to figure out the username (admin) and password (it was the acronym of the school I went to).

I messed a bit around with the IP's and connected to a PC from another class, where they were doing a project in paint. I showed that to a girl I had a crush on and her friend.

Then, I deleted the painting, opened up Internet Explorer and did a google image search for "sex". Needless to say, the girls were impressed. The only results that popped up, were actually pictures from "Sex and the City".

The next day, our principal came to our class and asked who the individual was who "hacked into the system and searched for porn".

I didn't say anything because there was no way for them to find out who it was, because I used the guest login, which, funny enough, had admin rights.

One week later, shit got real. The girls ratted me out because the principal was threatening to punish the whole class. They said that I told them that it was me, even tough they also messed around with VNC.

The whole thing was quite a scandal and every student knew about the incident. The news that it was me, spread around quickly and I had people coming up to me asking how I did it. I just told them that I wasn't allowed to talk about that because the police was involved. :->
