Ah, the memories! I brought this into school and a few of my mates wanted copies. Word got out amongst the teachers that there was some program being used for shenannigans by the pupils. I told everyone do delete it but some didn't realise it'd end up in their recycle bin and the network admin found out. Saturday morning detention material, luckily I didn't got caught :)


There were some fun tools around at that time :) Also there was this Windows bug where by default network sharing was open and of course everybody used a modem so there was no NAT/FW in between. So you could just connect to a random IP and see what's on the disk. (I think there was a tool to find IPs with just that port open.)


And lots of random messages via 'net send'
