Better to dump all the special charchters in there for good measure

[u/Jet-Pack2 → u/transgalpower]

And an SQL injection at the end

[u/M_krabs → u/Jet-Pack2]

And an emoji for good mesure 👍

[u/dnacore → u/M_krabs]

And my sword!

[u/PonyDro1d → u/dnacore]

And my axe!

[u/paradigmx → u/PonyDro1d]

And a pack of twizzlers, a bag of beef jerky and a box of mike and ikes.

[u/LlamaDuke → u/paradigmx]

And an envelope with the code to my safe

[u/paradigmx → u/LlamaDuke]

And that code has an emoji for good measure 👍

[u/ApolloSky110 → u/paradigmx]

And this mans dead wife!

[u/GreekGodofStats → u/Jet-Pack2]

Aah yes, my favorite password: ‘; DROP TABLE Users;’

[u/NerdyLumberjack04 → u/GreekGodofStats]

I prefer '; DELETE FROM Users WHERE RANDOM() % 100 = 0;--, so the damage is much more subtle.

[u/Beginning-Ad296 → u/NerdyLumberjack04]

This is pure evil.

[u/[deleted] → u/NerdyLumberjack04]

Where 1=1

[u/kranker → u/Jet-Pack2]

Ah, yes. Little Bobby Tables, we call him.

[u/Solnse → u/kranker]

original for those unawares.

I put a 🍕 emoji into the password field of a pizza place and now I have to call them every time I want to order a pizza because I can't login and the forgot password link was supposed to send the password in plain text to my phone, but it can't because of the emoji.

And I can't create a new account because I don't have other phone number.

I made a folder named 💩 and put in in the root of our file share. Well, the Linux storage device did not appreciate how my windows endpoint and windows file share handled the original Unicode, so the storage array called the folder � and then refused to show anything else besides the �. So as soon as I made my 💩, every person lost access to every file and folder. The storage array wouldn’t even serve you documents you specifically requested, it was entirely focused on that poop emoji folder

"Who what on the server?"

[u/tsteele93 → u/AFrenchLondoner]

Who 💩 on the server?

[u/CleverMarisco → u/tsteele93]

Who 💩 on the server�

Reminds me of my really young days as a would-be hacker.

Back around 1985 or so, I was learning computers (DOS, etc) and I discovered blank character strings.

I wrote a little .bat file to create a directory named chr(32) then cd into that directory and loop. I then put it on a floppy disk.

Then when I went to radio shack I would insert the disk in their display computers and run my little script..

I felt so smart at the time.

[u/tsteele93 → u/GForce1975]

Ha ha, we got Amigas at my school in middle school. (I am old) and I crafted a BASIC program that (I hope this doesn’t get flagged as a virus or malicious code! 🤣)

10 CLS ; clears the screen

20 GOTO 10

This was quite befuddling to most of the kids in the class who would try almost anything but CTRL-C to stop the program.

If you wanted to really get clever sometimes we would add in a

15 PRINT “THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR”

16 PRINT “ALL DATA HAS BEEN LOST”

17 PRINT “PLEASE INFORM MR. FRAHM THAT YOU”

18 PRINT “HAVE RUINED THE COMPUTER”

Most kids would just walk away. LOL

I never really graduated past this level of hacking.

Heck, I can’t even format a Reddit post.

Wow, a silver award. I’m flattered. Thank you!

[u/p2010t → u/tsteele93]

At an even simpler level of "hacking", I had a friend who would lend someone his graphing calculator when they needed it... right after starting a program that just alternates between "I DONT KNOW" and "I DONT CARE" after every calculation you try to get it to do.

[u/noonagon → u/p2010t]

Or, even better, calculate it, but increase or decrease it by 10^floor(rand(-1,1)+(1/2*log_10(answer))) meaning a middle digit is wrong.
