Speaking as a past kid trying to play video games on school laptops, I'm really grateful for the experience.
Some of my first experience with reverse engineering/pentesting methodologies came from extracting flash games from websites so they could run without getting net-nannied, or learning that you could use google translate to run a makeshift web proxy.
Honestly helped kickstart a lot of my learning about computers.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoI visited my high school a few years after graduating. My secret persys.sys folder (full of games) was still there. Fun times. That was the era of painfully slow (~10min) windows boot times. At one point, teenage me had a floppy with unetbootin to boot a flash drive with tinycore. I could get a browser running a solid 8min. before anyone else. Regardless of the fun, there was still a dark side. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt should not be the foundation of education.
