From leveraging the school intranet (and other local networks which one could unfortunately hop onto) to create a DDoS SaaS, to pulling vasts amounts of data from the academic servers through specialized means (read: light social engineering), there was never any doubt in why I didn’t secure the Tech prefect position. In hindsight, them removing the entire placement a couple days later did assuage my adolescent pain.
Disclaimer: I do not support penetration testing into national systems or any systems for that matter without authorized permission. This was purely an academic exercise.
