Good times indeed. I got into similar mischief, but my school didn't really mind. I got a slap on the wrist, because they were to prestigious to court negative attention. Then I got into similar shit in college. I reported it and got lucky again. The guy in charge of their cybersecurity program invited me to take his class which was all master's students and phd candidates as a freshman. I would have bombed as it was all over my head cryptography/math, but at the time I did some extracurricular research that got me a passing grade.

I’ve been on the other end of this dynamic. It’s really incredible what you can accomplish by providing someone with a passing grade.
