We had one optional (extra credit) section on a network prac that involved
hacking various computers around the university.
Questions included getting a login prompt on the admin's server (IP
restricted), modifying the Journ dept's website and obtaining a file from
one of the Comp Sci lecturer's PCs

Most of the class didn't even try. The login prompt was exceptionally easy.
The rest were rather more challenging
