He‘s german and Trust me finding a Security issue in german School Networks is not a big deal

  That's right, when you do that in the US in any school the on-site cops come and arrest you. Initiative, competence and creativity are as a rule not prized in American education, conformity and athletic prowess are.

    well I basically meant it differently, but that's bad aswell..

    He meant that the networks often aren't secured at all, so it's very easy to break into them.

  American here. Ditto (source: kicked out of high school and college for violation of TOS^H^H^H Acceptable Use Policy)

    Out of curiosity, what did you do that was so bad as to get you kicked out of school twice?

      It doesn't even have to be bad. I was very nearly kicked out of my middle school just for booting from (!) my own live Linux USB drive on a school computer.

      In High school I discovered the admin's secret account password was "god". (1995 maybe? I was 15) In college (1997? I was 17) I downloaded the source code of the unix client for back orifice. I read some of the source because I was interested in socket programming and reading Unix Network Programming. I compiled it, and deleted it without running it. They were on edge because "god" from high school called to warn them about me.
