Appreciate you sharing your perspective. I remember a friend of mine in middle/high school would load games onto the schools networked drives. It seems IT played the games too because they never did anything about it.

One of my buddies did that, hid a half-dozen copies of Counter-Strike. IT took a few down, more would pop up.

Senior year they got some software that would allow a teacher to monitor all classroom computer screens thus precluding our being able to play anymore. So the same buddy of mine behind the Counter-Strike copies made a wallpaper that was a screenshot of all kinds of infosec tools, WireShark, MetaSploit, etc.

They didn't like that one either.

That’s amazing. Reminds of a personal finance class I took where we played a stock trading simulation based on prices from the actual market. One of my friends edited the HTML on the games page to make it look like he made millions. Teacher almost bought that one.
