Net Send was another nice temptation to the average teenager troll.

As an admin, I really miss Net Send. I would love to have a simple way to send messages to users, especially in an emergency (like the office internet going out) so I don't get told 20 times.
It sucks that they depreciated it. I wish it were still around, maybe we could have it disabled by default, and just use a GPO to enable it.
If I need to get a message to a machine or troll someone, I do a psexec -s cmd to their box, then do:
msg * "insert message here"

Are you me?
I did the very same thing ~20 years ago. I used a DOS Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) code to achieve this, I did't have to fake any screen. The key strokes were stored in a file.
I still remember keyboard interrupt value (0x9) while registering TSR code.
Was it with Novel network? 'cuz I remember their login being paranoid and starting to emit beeps with TSR hooked on keyboard interrupt.
Or maybe it was just a sloppy coding from 12 years old me :)
I did the same except that I put the file onto a network drive so that I could access it from a less conspicuous location. Also, made a crude chat program in a similar manner.
I used to use a discussion forum website that didn't encrypt cookies. A friend created a 1x1 pixel transparent flash app that read everyone's user name and password and transmitted it to him.
That brings back memories, I did exactly the same too. The logins were shared with the Windows machines so after nabbing the password of our maths teacher, a few friends and I went through his account vandalising his PowerPoint slides to add subtle nonsense. Poor guy didn't know what on earth was going on during his lectures. Also found out the 'debug' login for the switches and used it to rather destructively mess with the network, much to the chagrin of the sysadmins. Good times!
Hey, at least you had passwords. The network in my school district just used an invisible drive to store everything. If you manually navigated to something like h: or g: (can't remember) you'd suddenly have full access to every person in the school's home directory.
I didn't use the passwords for anything... But there was a guy in another class whose password was the name of the girl on whom I had a crush too. Illicit knowledge bred jealousy! Neither of us ever got the girl.
