  • I remember getting sent to the principals office for “hacking” (pinging the computer in the next room) in like 8th grade.

    Back in 4th/5th I actually was hacking, modifying our user menu to add Windows 3.1 and a password (copying config from a teacher’s profile). Also brute-forced at least two teachers passwords.

    I’m a network architect now, so there’s that.




  • Hah, jokes on them, I don’t do anything at the office, either.

    In fact I dare say I do less, due to less efficient monitor placement and constant door-knockers. At least at home the only one knocking on my door is a 5yo asking for help in Mario.

    Oh and the pointless meetings where I have to be present in person and actually look attentive, even though realistically there’s no damn reason I even should’ve been invited.




  • As a network guy…open up your favorite web-managed application and open the developer console. Inspect the transactions you see and compare it to the applications REST API reference, and you’ll likely find a lot of commonality (and maybe some undocumented endpoints!).

    Backend made the API and everything that is performed by it. Front end is doing the GUI based off the response and promoting for input.
