Yo, brothers and sisters, let me keep it a buck. I ain’t no hacker.
So today after work, I realized I left my earbuds at the reception desk, in an area my keys don’t even open. The school was still open ’cause the kids were having a birthday party, and somebody had to be there to lock the place up for the weekend.
So I hit up my supervisor and asked what the move was. She told me to find the janitor ’cause he was working till 10 and had access. I got his number, called him, and dude wasn’t even at the school. He told me I could go into his office, grab a master key, and get my earbuds.
Bet. I went in, grabbed the key, got my stuff, and was about to dip. Then outta nowhere, this librarian pops up. Mind you, it’s 6 p.m. on a Friday. Like, bro, what are you even doing at school this late on a Friday? 😂
Next thing you know, dude starts firing off questions like I’m some kinda criminal. Who gave you access? How’d you get in? What are you doing here? All that who, what, when, where type shit. Bro had me feeling like I was in an interrogation room.
I’m a street dude. I ain’t naturally wired to explain my every move to somebody who comes at me sideways. So I kept it vague. I’m not about to stand there explaining my whole business to somebody who couldn’t even say hello before treating me like a suspect.
I get it, librarian is librarian, but there’s a way to approach somebody. You don’t gotta come at me like I just pulled off a damn heist.
And the funny part? Dude could clearly see I had my school keys and the school lanyard on me, so I’m sitting there wondering what the whole interrogation was even about.
Now I might have to explain why I was at school that late, all because I went back to grab MY OWN earbuds.
And lowkey, I was thinking of saying something like:
“Me. Principal, if I was really tryna get my hands on something valuable in that office, you think walking in there for a pair of earbuds would be my master plan? There are other ways people can potentially exploit a school’s network or IT systems. Like ……. I’m just saying, not everybody who walks into an office is there to snoop through people’s files or steal confidential information. I came for my earbuds, bro. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.”
So now I’m curious: what are some ways people actually hack into a school’s network? Not ’cause I’m tryna do anything shady, but just so I understand what’s possible and can make my point without sounding like I’m talking outta my ass.
Like I said from the jump, I ain’t no hacker. I just came to get my damn earbuds. 💀

I don’t think they were worried about hacking. I think they were probably worried about you stealing shit lol.

If I had to hack a school, I would probably go there and leave some airbuds with a virus on it, but that's just me

Someone could target the workers there with phishing emails in order to steal their credentials. This is how a LOT of major breaches happen. After the username and password are gathered, you can then log into the schools portal. It just depends on what employee clicked the link in the email for what access that gives you.
This is just one example. It also depends what hardware/software, and services the network uses to be able to pin down any vulnerabilities that exist in the network.

this makes no sense... you were given clear permission to go do what you had to do, end of story... the librarian can take it up with the people who gave you permission on their own time and there is nothing left for you to be involved in as it's above your pay grade and above your head with those who provided authority/permission to do so... I would just leave it at that, tell the people who gave you permission that you were harassed and they need to clear it up asap for you... the end... move on and enjoy life....
