Was this a particular tool that required charging up a lazer, by chance? If so, I might have been one of the people you taught a lesson to. :D

  How did you feel about it? Were you dissuaded from further script-kiddieing?

    Well, yes and no. I was more interested in what it did and how it worked rather than 'using' it, I just remember it causing a lot of problems. But yes, this was around the time I learned not to run random executables I found on the internet.

      I was going to ask you the same thing as wrs, and would have answered similarly. Overall I am grateful for people like aaza for helping others to understand how it felt to be on the receiving end, and also a lesson about trust and maturity. "There is no honor among thieves" is a facile interpretation, but over time I've come to feel like this is necessary tough love for certain problem kids who might be too clever for their own good at certain points of life.
