Input: Text: obligatory didn't happen today but rather back in 2010 and spanned about the time of three weeks. it all started one morning before school. prior to the bell ringing signaling class has begun, my friends and i would commonly hang out in our gym to await the inevitable bell. we would just talk and pass the time, nothing too special. one day, a friend of mine whom we'll refer to as "adam" and myself struck up a conversation about our school tracking what we did on the computers. the thing about adam was that his dad was very tech savvy and was employed in the field of computer sciences. naturally, adam had a decent knowledge base and interest in computers. our conversation ended that morning with both of us left more curious to how our school was tracking us than when the morning began. this is curiosity was the first domino that fell and eventually changed the school forever.

the next day came and in the same routine, i strutted of to the gym in the morning eagerly waiting to talk more to my friend adam. as i got to the gym and said my initial *what's up* he proceed to tell me that shortly after arriving home from school the day prior, he quick jumped onto his computer and started researching about how to access command prompt on our school's computers. 

now, compared to today, 2010 was a different time for computers. there were many more people who didn't know how they worked, but rather thought they were powered by some dark magic. many of these people happened to be teaching at my school, including our districts it guy (we'll touch up on that later). everyone was assigned a log in and password. it was the same for everyone, except for staff who had access to more freedom and such. the reason why i point this out is because command prompt was blocked on every computer due to the sole reason of being able to configure network settings on any computer in the district. 

going back to adam and his newly found tricks, he figured out to access command prompt through notepad (once again, this was 2010). following being able to open up command prompt, he then proceed to show me how to remotely shutdown any computer in the network. although i do not remember it exactly, it was along the lines of the word **shutdown** followed by whatever computers ip address that you wanted to target. after entering the command, a box would pop up to the target computer bringing up a timer counting down to 0, which then initialized the shutdown and an optional chat box to construct your very own farewell message. this was a major discovery and we agreed that if this knowledge fell into the wrong hands, dire consequences could ensure.

the next following weeks adam and i secretly would go to computer labs throughout the school and do some of our own testing and to familiarize yourself with more commands. each computer had a bar code sticker on the back followed by a series of about 10-15 numbers and letters. we figured out that this was the computer district id. the significance of this was instead of having to log onto our target computer and googling "find my ip" we were now able to enter a command into command prompt that would fetch the ip address of any computer in the district as long as we provided that 10-15 district id in the command. we were now able to remotely shutdown any computer, set a countdown timer, write a customization message under the countdown timer, and find our target computer's ip address through whichever computer we were on as long as it was connected to the district's network. this is where the fuck up began.

during our series of tests, we had a minor run in with a substitute teacher. she had been retired for some years and occasionally subbed if need be. one day during our tests she called adam and i to speak to her privately where she pretty much said, "i can't say i exactly know what you're doing, but whatever it is could get you in an unimaginable amount of trouble. if you stop now, i won't tell anyone but if i see it happening again, i will report it." adam and i took this very seriously and decided that although this power and our growing notability with our classmates was awesome, it wasn't worth the trouble. we decided to bury what we knew and have it be our little secret. unbeknownst to us, during our testing there were also two other of our friends who had been quietly observing what was going on (one we will call cole and the other cason). they too had grown encapsulated with the ability to remote shutdown computers and asked adam and i if we would share our most prized information. having been already confronted about our antics by the substitute teacher, we were first very reluctant to say anything. cole and cason were extremely persistent and we made it very clear to them that if any shit hits the fan that adam and myself would bare the full brunt of it. the two didn't like us denying them this power, so they decided to take it into their own hands. the both of them in the next following weekend went home and looked up everything that adam and i had done. 

the next monday, cole and cason showed up to school in the morning and immediately sought adam and i out to show them that they were now on the same plane as us and had learned the art of remote shutdown. i made cason and cole swear to us that they wouldn't do anything stupid to get us all in trouble. the two promised that they would follow a very safe guideline and would not put anyone in jeopardy. we all shook on it like nations signing a peace treaty and went off to class. this was the calm before the storm.

the rest of the school week went by as usual and the thought of anything foul happening slipped my mind. there was only about a month of school left and the thought of summer had deeply ingrained itself in the fabric of my mind. the weekend went by just as fast as the prior week and before i knew it, monday had so pleasantly arrived again. it was a normal day as i dressed and got ready for school. i arrived and in the same fashion headed to the gym to chill and talk. i arrived and was conversing with some other friends when all of a sudden, the teacher who the substitute had been subbing for was back and called adam over. my eyes followed adam like a cat locked onto a mouse during a hunt. i could see it across the gym and in adam's eyes that all was not well. he eventually was escorted out of the gym quietly and calmly. i wanted to believe that he had been removed because of something different than our recent antics, but i had a gut feeling that i was next.

when the bell rang to tell everyone to move to their first class, i grabbed my stuff as usual and made my way to the classroom. i sat down in my usual seat and unpacked my things. our teacher started the lesson for the day when abruptly her phone rang. normally she didn't get calls in the middle of class, especially during the first five minutes of the first class of the day. she sauntered over to the phone where we all heard her utter, "yeah, he's here. what? you're sending someone to get him? hmm. okay, i'll tell him to grab his things." it was the equivalent of having my life flash before my eyes. the teacher hung up her phone and loudly announced "rambosnail, you have to go to the office. they're sending someone down to take you there." that was the moment where i knew something had gone horribly wrong. i packed up my things and met my valet to the office. we proceeded to walk where i was informed that i needed to cooperate with our school officials and that i was in serious trouble. at this point i realized there was no turning back so i told her i would comply.

as i arrived in the office, i was immediately escorted into our back conference room. i was joined by our school's principal and our district it guy. they sat me down and got straight to the punch. while adding onto each others sentences, the two began to exclaim that they knew what was going on and that i needed to write down everything i knew about remotely shutting down a computer. i started writing, listing as descriptively as i could the entire steps that adam and i took to learning how to shutdown a peer's computer. as i was writing, i kept thinking that for some reason cole or cason has to behind this. i knew for a fact that adam and i had not done any illicit computer tactics ever since being called out by a substitute teacher. my thoughts were soon confirmed. the fuck up was out of the bag.

my principal proceeded to tell me that there had been an incident with a staff member getting their computer shutdown with a very obscene message on text box. he then proceeded to tell me that i was suspend for five days out of school as well as having my name put up to the school board for expulsion. yikes. i was then escorted to an empty room where i was to remain there for the rest of the day, all by myself with only my thoughts.

what seemed like an eternity, the end of the day had finally arrived. the school had contacted all four of our parents and we were not able to leave the premises until our respective parents picked us up. the principal opened the door to the room that could be considered my temporary holding cell. he escorted shortly down the hall to another room where i saw adam, cason, and cole all sitting together. he told us we had spent enough time alone and we could have the remaining time of the day to talk and reflect of the damage we had done. when the principal finally left, i learned of what was the fuel of one of the biggest incident in my schools history.

the story went about like this: after cole and cason had promised adam and i to not cause any trouble with shutting down other peoples computers, they decided to mess around and pull some pranks. cole had targeted a good friend of his who was working on an essay, what was thought to be a routine shutdown. he opened command prompt, got his friends ip address, and then proceed to initiate the shutdown procedure. he typed the infamous shutdown command and then typed the newly acquired ip address. the final step was to input your optional message. cole's message that had been deemed obscene read, "fuck you bitch." after each ingredient was inputted, cole's very own shutdown pie was sent. after about 10 seconds had passed, cole noticed his target peer's computer remained unchanged. normally these messages were received instantaneous. he figured that maybe his command was a dud, so he tried it again and this time it was successful. what he did not realize is that his first message sent, but he made a very simple error and when typing in his targeted ip address, he input one wrong digit. it just so happened that by fate, rather than being lucky and having the erroneous message go to a computer that was already off or perhaps another students, it went to a teacher's computer. while the teacher was inputting his grades, he was greeted with a 20 second countdown and the message "fuck you bitch." since the teacher thought computers ran off dark magic, he proceed to stand up and scream in pure terror while bounding to our school's office. that was the coffin to the nail.

our consequences were the five day suspension along with being ban from the district computers for the rest of the year. the school had made it sound like what we had done was one of the most abhorrent thing the district had ever seen. adam's computer savvy father was quick to tell my folks that what we did was nothing more than the equivalent of unplugging someones computer and that the option for us to be able to perform this action should have never been viable in the first place. it was like leaving an open cookie jar in front of a 3 year old. my parents were not upset, but rather amused with the facts that four kids outsmarted an entire faculty. it was later found out that the school's it guy had set up the network by giving everyone administrative powers. for example, as said before we had our own usernames that we used as a school log in. the school thought that it was set up so even if we did gain access to command prompt, there would be a log generated showing which user enacted an action on another user (ie *happy123* shutdown *snappy456*). what the school's handpicked it guy had accidentally done had granted everyone admin access (ie the log showed *admin* shutdown *admin*). i came to find this out because after the incident, the school contacted adam's dad to rewrite permissions and restrictions for the entire district. gaming websites became ban and many other go-to websites got the ax. no other real penalties occurred since adam's dad was the one who was rebuilding the schools network security and the five day suspension was more like a 5 day vacation. all in all it was terrifying to have gone through it but the four of us were solidified in our school's history.
