          None. Just cheat. It will prepare you for the real world better than pretending to respect the authority of morons.

          If you were in highschool at the time, really the only ethical thing to do for someone in your position is to delete all the files and shine a light on their bad security practices, but don’t say anything about it to anyone. It’s that last bit that always gets you in trouble. Absolute candor is something adults almost never want to hear from children.

            Couldn’t you just rename it to something obvious so as to make people think it was gone whilst leaving all the valuable data intact. mv valuableData.whatever valuableData.thiswholethingisvulnerablefixit

    There’s a program at my job that has a black background and a lot of the commands are written in lines similar to cmd.

    It’s a lot more streamlined now but I use to have to do a lot in there and people would often gather behind me to see what I was doing. I guess it looked like I was hacking because I would type for about a bit and hit enter then start typing again. Literal csi hacking type shit
