IoT Hacking and Rickrolling My High School District | WhiteHoodHacker
This is the story of how I pulled off my senior prank: featuring an IPTV system, a paging system, and Rick Astley.

simply stunning 🥺 (on a real note, i wish i was in school to see this!! 😂 This was so funny to watch when the videos went on the internet!!)
Linux kids can't even awk '$1 == "inet" && $2 != "127.0.0.1" { print $2; }'
On a more serious note, as a fellow CO21 graduate who thought hacking the AMS LED sign in the cafeteria was hot stuff, reading this was an extremely humbling experience, and the rickroll aficionado in me shed a tear by the end. You're the GOAT.
Hey Minh, this is Raman. I remember you showing me life footage from cameras while we were playing chess in the chemistry room freshman year. You’ve come really far, this was so elaborate and awesome! Can’t wait to see what you will think up of next. Wish you a great time in college!
Any chance we can see your debrief presentation? Just the slide looks like it would be a fun read. Maybe present at DefCon or C3?
This is amazing! I'm pleasantly surprised that your district was so nice about not taking disciplinary action... a friend of mine reported a Powerschool vulnerability to my school district and they responded with disciplinary action and police involvement!
The actual hack was good enough. But the care you took to do your testing at night, verify schedules to make sure you didn't interrupt anything crucial, distribute the pen-test as the last step ... Really nice attention to detail.
U r my idol. Any tips on how you learned to do all this? #1 on HN btw. Congrats!!
I remember my cousin telling me this in April, never thought I would see this in HN haha.
God Damn, Rickrolling is durable. Just about all of the freshmen were born after people started doing it in 2007, and yet everyone seemed to get it!

This is some Mr.Robot level hacking. Awesome dude, keep it up.
I wanna try this too, but i doubt the security team will appreciate it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Good work in getting this accomplished and tested prior to the "event" Kudos to the School in working with you and learning fro this, I can see a pentest career in store for you and the team. If you love what you do you'll never have to "work" a day in your life
Dude please continue hacking the web need people like you to protect us from malicius hacker, white hacker and cryptographe are our shield against the rise of quantum computer that can bruteforce a pass within second.
Not even joking, I read this in school and decided to try it myself. I was able to scan my entire schools /16 and found IP cameras with no password, printers, ID authentication systems and most importantly: Apple TV devices connected to projectors. I am now extremely tempted to try this.

@Kogeki Please don't try it unless you get permission or fully accept the consequences; my disclaimer is there for a reason.

@WhiteHoodHacker Thanks for the warning. Anyway, this was a really interesting read. Nice job.
