Hacking 101; Monday; Period 2

[1stinkinpercent.livejournal.com]

The class was back in the computer lab today and Riley was busily typing on his laptop while everyone filtered in. Once everyone was there and settled, he stood up.

"Good morning," he greeted. "Today, we're going to change gears slightly. We're not going to learn any hacking techniques but rather a few of the different types of hackers there are out there."

He passed out a worksheet of the different classifications before moving on.

"The hacker that I am, for the most part, is a white hat. I hack systems for various companies and corporations to make sure their security is strong. If I can get in, they know they have to tighten things up. Conversely, you then have the black hat hackers who hack systems for their own personal gain. These are the guys who get the notoriety for hacking banks and highly secure systems. A grey hat is the in between. They're the guys that break into a system but then go and tell the system admins that they did it and offer to fix the security hole for free. Maybe not the best way of doing things but helpful, at least."

He paused for a moment. "There are more but I just wanted to touch on the big three during the lecture. For today's activity, I'm going to give you a few scenarios and I want you to try and choose which type of hacker would be the one doing the hacking. Easy, yeah? Let's go."

7 Ways to Annoy Anakin Skywalker, Monday, Period 1

Bel was positively giddy for class today. He'd been busy the past week tracking down an old alumni from Fandom High and had convinced him to come back to the island for a One Time Only performance. After all, Bel had made a guest appearance in his class a few years back. (And he might have stolen an idea for a class from that as well.)

"All right, kids," he said, "we're going to get right into this today. I have a special guest, a former student and teacher here at Fandom High. He and Anakin go way back, and he's awfully good at annoying people. So sit back, watch, and enjoy."

Damned straight he had a video camera recording this.

Fun in the Sun, Monday, Period 4

Bond's class was meeting down on the beach at Serenity Cove today, where he waited for them with a number of variously sized shovels and buckets.

"Good afternoon," Bond greeted them once everyone had arrived. "Today we'll be taking a turn for the artistic, and trying our hands at sand sculpting, which, as the name suggests, involves using sand as an artistic medium. Sometimes this results merely in crude constructions that wash away in the next tide, other times exhibits that last for months, however they all use damp sand as the base material."

"Your task today is to create your own sand sculpture, either individually or in groups. Try to use your imagination to come up with something interesting."
