ROFL WTF LMAO DUDE!

Stories. Hmmmmmmmmmm.......

Yeah. Mucking around with user accounts so that a workmate (Kiwibiker member cough cough) who hates anything non micrsoft/intel (not a real geek huh

) had to log into a computer with no IE shortcuts. They all linked to a sneaky firefox install.

Apparently He went nuts and reinstalled windows because of it

That box never ran the same since.

##

The usual change screen/kb around for another computer.. works well.

##

Installing sub7 virus on peoples computers and making them a nice 'pink theme' with random browser openings of 'www.bigdonkypenises.com' etc etc

##

Reg hacking locked computers and changing start pages to rotten.com and messing around with titlebars etc etc.

##

More when they come to mind.

Mental note for myself on NZ return

Don't employee any sysadmins from Kiwibiker.

However ,
Number of years back we had an over eager helpdesk manager who would personaly try and sort virus and the like rather than letting the PC support group sort it. She ended up waisting lots of time so we played a trick on her that the whole floor was in on.
It was early Windows days. A program called drip was loaded onto a PC. This program is activated when the shift key has hit. Slowly one by one , random characters would fall off the screen. This would eventaully lead to all the characters cascading off the screen. On a reboot the program was gone.

A call was placed to the helpdesk , I think we have a virus. Sure enough, the HD manager comes over with a whole lot of virus busting disks.
The character started to fall of the screen , She became more frustrated as time went by. The audiance gets larger , Still she can't sort it , After about 15 = 20 minutes we can't contain our laughter any more and left her in on it.
She got a standing ovation and never try to solve viruses again after this.

Other things done.

Sent trainie Computer Operator into tape libiary and explained that the tapes needed turning over to stop the data failing off. We had around 1200 tapes

Apple Mac Se 30's . Take screen snap shot , invert image in macpaint. Turn computer upside down so everthing appears normal. Watch user trying to work out what has happened.

I once wrote a protocol converter (ANSI to UN-EDIFACT) on an NEC mini computer that had a model of C3PO on it. I wanted my own protocol droid.

Oldy but a goody: screen shot desktop. remove icons. set screenshot to backround. GLHF buddy!

install RealVNC and randomly log on and fuck with them.
start > run > notepad > "I am a VIRUS. you be fucked"

ohhh. one of my fav's
reset users password from server, wait for them to goto lunch (they all lock their pc's)
jump into the word 'auto-correct' function and set 'the' to 'Big floppy Donkey Dick' and 'and' to 'the Penis's run wild in Africa' or something similar

**SPORK** · 23rd June 2005, 19:06

Hahah! I also screw around with Auto-Correct at school. I'm too much of a stealth wizzrad to be caught though!

**NordieBoy** · 23rd June 2005, 19:27

My computer isn't working.

Hmmm, let's see. You let your budgie fly around the house don't you?

Ummm, yes - so?

He's got into the case through this space in the back and left peck marks on all the ram chips, pulled all the jumpers off everything and shredded the harddrive cable to spaggetti.

No it can't have been...

Here's a feather he left at the scene of the crime.

Oh.
