So was ours. This was just the 'official' hacking portion. I did my fair
share of unofficial, as did a lot of others.

The best was when we (admins and comittee for the university computer users
society) caught 3 lusers trying to do an NTNuke on a local ISP's site.
Firstly, the ISP was running some flavour of unix (don't remember which) so
the NTNuke had no effect.
Best was that the lusers didn't wipe their command history file before
logging out.
